Here is a brief list of what we offer our clients: Multi-disciplined, team approach Project management Detailed engineering and design Testing and commissioning Integration with rig/platform drilling control and monitoring system Training Accommodating your changing needs Drilling rig construction and oper- ation is a very costly business and potentially hazardous from an occupational safety standpoint. The M-I SWACO Process Control Group has evolved to meet increas- ing challenges from our industry to provide equipment packages which are safer and easier to operate than ever before. North Sea and ISO standards are becoming the norm in many over- seas locations. This, coupled with more stringent environmental regu- lations, means that drilling units worldwide are being constructed with process-control systems as nec- essary integral parts of the Drilling Waste Management (DWM), mud- processing and mud-mixing systems. Our project experience in recent years has included some of the largest contracts for the supply of DWM equipment ever issued by operators and drilling contractors. The scope of equipment and proj- ects the group undertakes spans all M-I SWACO product lines, including: Solids control Drilling waste management Cuttings re-injection Cuttings transport and storage Cuttings dryers Mud mixing and bulk handling Cuttings treatment Water treatment Thermal treatment HMI technology Human-Machine Interface (HMI) systems are becoming increasingly common features in modern drilling installations. They can be designed to operate in stand-alone mode, or can be integrated into the drilling-rig manufacturers other control systems. The outputs from these systems, including alarms, are available to the driller, operator and loggers and M-I SWACO personnel. HMI systems allow operators to set upper and lower performance parameters, or preset timed oper- ations, for equipment that previously had to be manually operated and monitored. Benefits include a sig- nificantly improved working envi- ronment, keeping workers out of potentially hazardous environments, reduced personnel requirements and improved equipment performance. We utilize systems-control hard- ware and software that enable remote control and monitoring of all our main equipment packages via links to shore-based or corporate facilities so that real-time activity on the rig can be monitored remotely.

Why use the M-I SWACO Process Control Group? As the worlds largest supplier of drilling fluids, completion fluids and drilling waste management equip- ment, M-I SWACO has learned what is important to you. Through our INTEGRATED FLUIDS ENGINEERING * (IFE*) program, we have introduced novel technologies which enhance well construction performance and mini- mize occupational and health and safety incidents. The Process Control Group is a logical extension of this philosophy. Through the IFE approach to specify- ing complementary equipment and fluids, in addition to an appreciation of technical and environmental parameters, we can design DWM and mud-mixing systems that are exactly fit-for-purpose and provide real benefits to you: Integrated approach Reduced non-productive time Fewer QHSE incidents Increased net present value Lower overall cost Questions? Well be glad to answer them.
