Offshore mud skips are used during offshore drilling to ensure compliant handling of OBM cuttings. They are certified by DNV or LR and are crucial in maintaining environmental standards as they transport the cuttings back to shore for final treatment.
Such mud skips are usually designed with 11000kg maximum loading weight. The size can be designed as 2400x1400x1700mm, or 2200x1500x1600mm. Depends on client’s preference and practical demand there are many different designs available.
Offshore mud skips are fabricated with forklift pocket for convenient handling. Also the lifting rings for easy move by helicopter or crane. Kindly suggest certifying the skips under marine standard. Such as CCS, DNV, BS, or BV, RL and so on.
More detail on offshore mud skips
Many users prefer the cuttings boxes since the convenient handling feature. It’s rectangular shape with a special design on top and bottom for easy piling up. Under DNV or equivalent test, they will tell us the most layers we can pile them up.
The doors or hatches on top are sealed with special rubber and the glue. It will be rather tight no matter how you lift it or lay down it, maybe face falling off. However, there won’t be any leakage at all.
The colors of cuttings box, we can paint it with blue, yellow, orange, red, and so on. It is a custom built feature. Depending on the clients’ preference.
Cuttings boxes and rock cuttings boxes generally come in two sizes: 2m³ and 4m³.
A 4m³ mud cutting skip weighs up to 15 tons when fully filled, especially with high-density drilling fluid. A 2m³ cuttings box is designed for use when a crane cannot lift a larger box. When fully filled, a 2m³ box weighs 7-10 tons. Empty cuttings boxes can be stacked two on top of each other, but not when fully filled. For larger operations, three or more sets of 25-30 cuttings boxes are required. The drilling site must be able to accommodate all the cuttings boxes.
