The Mudcube

The MudCube is a technology developed to replace traditional shakers.

The MudCube uses a combination of high air flow and vacuum pulled through a rotating screen (filterbelt) rather than the high g forces and vibration used by the standard shakers to separate mud and solids. This technology is proven to have higher levels of solids removal efficiency, which in turn reduces the volume of drilling fluid lost, minimizes the tonnage of waste generated, and raises drilling fluid performance, which all contribute to an overall reduction in cost.

The MudCube Fluid Management System was first permanently installed on an offshore rig in 2012, offshore Norway. The system not only provides highly efficient and effective two-phase separation of liquids and solids but also raises health and safety standards while minimizing overall environmental impact by reducing mud losses and corresponding drilling waste tonnages. It is fully field proven and to date it has been used to drill more than 40 wells in 8 countries by 11 operators.
