Self-Sustainable Drilling Sites

TWMA has commenced construction on its latest facility in Habshan, Abu Dhabi, which is set to become the world's most advanced, self-sustainable drilling waste management site. Scheduled for completion by summer 2025, this cutting-edge facility will streamline the management, transportation, and treatment of drill cuttings. It is designed to process up to 300 tonnes of drill cuttings per day and recover up to one barrel of oil or diesel per tonne processed, enabling self-sufficiency through recovered fluids. The facility will adhere to the highest Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality (HSEQ) standards and will be supported by TWMA's innovative XLink™ system, which provides operators with real-time drilling insights, including detailed carbon emission tracking to enhance environmental efficiency.

The new site will feature TWMA's latest RotoMill™ technology, incorporating advanced energy-efficient features, an electric drive, and remote monitoring via XLink™. These innovations will enhance the processing of drilling waste while significantly reducing CO2 emissions. The facility is expected to increase TWMA's total processing capacity, exceeding 120,000 metric tons of drill cuttings annually at locations worldwide. Additionally, the site will create approximately 60 new jobs in the region, reinforcing TWMA's commitment to local economic growth and sustainability. This investment underscores TWMA's dedication to innovation, sustainability, and strengthening its service capabilities across the Middle East.
