Solid Control Service

The safe and environmentally responsible management of waste generated during drilling and well completion operations is an indispensable part of sustainable energy production. In line with this approach, we take steps within the scope of our Solid Control Service that prioritize environmental responsibility and resource efficiency.

    Reliable solutions in waste management

    In wells drilled with Synthetic Oil-Based Mud (OBM), the cuttings-mud mixture generated on the drilling vessel is safely transported to Filyos TP Port using a “skip & ship” model after primary separation.

    To date, we have delivered over 20,000 tons of waste to shore without harming the environment. This amount is equivalent to the load of approximately 1,500 municipal garbage trucks.

    Next-generation technology in recovery: Thermal Treatment Unit

    2Until February 2025, this waste was processed using the Cutting Treatment Unit, achieving approximately 50% recovery. However, with the commissioning of the Thermal Treatment Unit from that date onward, we have reached a much higher level of recovery.

    With this system:

    • 99% of the synthetic base oil separated from the mud is recovered and reused.

    • The need to purchase new base oil is significantly reduced.

    • The amount of harmful waste released into the environment is nearly eliminated.

    This technology not only provides a cost advantage, but also prevents the release of hazardous waste into nature, offering a solution aligned with circular economy principles. This innovative and environmentally friendly approach, adopted in our Solid Control, is a cornerstone of sustainable drilling operations.

    Precise filtration process in completion fluids

    In well completion processes, the Brine (Completion Fluid) used must be free of solid particles to avoid damaging the porosity of the production formations. Otherwise, there is a risk of pore blockage, which can reduce production efficiency.

    We have successfully managed this critical process through our Brine Filtration Operations, which have been in operation since 2021.

    To date:

    • 1,427,791 barrels of brine fluid have been filtered. This amount is equivalent to approximately 227,000 cubic meters of water, or 90 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

    This process ensures both the protection of formations and the creation of an efficient and long-lasting production infrastructure.

    Combining sustainability and efficiency

    By integrating environmental responsibility with operational excellence, our company contributes to the conservation of natural resources while implementing tangible steps toward sustainability in the energy sector.
