RMR® - Riserless Mud Recovery

Safer, faster, cleaner top-hole drilling.

• Drill stable top hole section

• Less impact on environment.

•No “Pump & Dump”.

What RMR can do for you?

Zero Discharge

What are we concerned with?

6FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY

Dual Gradient Drilling

• Optimized drilling

• Better well control

•Fewer Casing Point.

• Larger mud weight window

Components

1. Suction Module (SMO)

2. Subsea Pump Module (SPM)

3. Umbilical & Umbilical winch (UW)

4. Office & Tool Container (OTC)

5. Power and Control Container (CC)

6. Mud Return Line (MRL)

8FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY

1. Suction Module (SMO)

▌ Collecting mud returns▌ Provides connection to SPM▌ Lighting & Video Camera▌ Mud level control system▌ Deployed through rigs moon

pool

9FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY

2. Subsea Pump Module (SPM)

▌ Support frame for pump & motor

▌ Connected to SM by flexible hose

▌ Three electrically disc driven pumps

▌ Pump cutting upto 20” inches diameter

▌ Minimal damage to cuttings

Limitations

▌ The max water-depth is 4,593ft (1400m).

▌ Pumping mud weight up to 14.35PPG (1.72sg )

This is still a developing and evolving with time as deepwater drilling technology.

Case Study – West Azeri FieldDrilled a well in 2003 by BP with semi-sub with a water depth of 120 mtrs ft.Drilled 36” OH till 423 mtrs, 30” CSG @ 413 mtrsDrilled 24” OH 801 mtrs, 18 5/8” CSG @ 794 mtrs.Cement job was good. Used less volume of cement as compared to standard volume calculation which was 200% excess.

Case Study – Shakhalin Shelf (Russia)Due to ecological restriction. RMR system was used to provide a close loop system and it worked very well.

How is our role as mud engineers changes?

For riserless we had to think more about volume of PAD mud and logistic issues.
