Case Study: RMR® – BP, Sakhalin Island
Learn how Enhanced Drilling’s Riserless Mud Recovery (RMR®) system was used in order to meet environmental objectives while
minimising the risk from shallow gas.
- CHALLENGE:. Cuttings needed to be returned to the rig while drilling the service hole. This could be done with the rig marine riser plus pin connector, but then the rig diverter would be the only protection against shallow gas flow.
- SOLUTION: Enhanced Drilling’s Riserless Mud Recovery (RMR®) system was chosen as the most suitable method to use given the issues encountered
- RESULTS: Achieved the well environmental objectives while minimising the risk from shallow gas. RMR® also provided operational advantages.
