Our liquid mud plant vessel has one primary assignment and that is to, Deliver In Spec Mud Properties.
Cost saving assumptions from always having good mud properties in the well:
- Drilling NPT reduction associated with hole conditions
- ROP improvements
- Less ECD = deeper penetrations into depleted fields before losses occur = access to more reserves and less skin damage to the zones drilled
- More logs to bottom
- More casing to bottom

“Cyclicality of all life, matter & existence”.[/caption]
Safety
- Stable platform away from the rig for E-Vac/muster point
- POB overflow
- Zero physical exposure to cuttings and SLOPS streams due to handling and processing systems
- Reduction with tank entry due to less tank cleaning
- Well control fluid make up and availability
Logisitics
- Reduction of OSV runs from port x 25%
- Negation of back load of SLOPS to the beach
- Downhole tool clean and rebuild level 0-2, onsite
- Helicopter repair garage/workshop
- Reduction with quick-turnaround specialist to stay onboard vs. return to beach
Asset Integrity (Reservoir)
- Better fluids in well bore more of the time
- Lower ECD
- More logs to bottom
- More casing strings to casing depth
- > 5% reduction in targeted LGS due to specialized processes onboard
ROP
- Better & more consistent DRLG fluid properties
- Increased ROP
- More bit on bottom time due to reduction in NPT associated with port/OSV trip times
- 5% reduction is targeted LGS due to specialized processes onboard
- Reduced LGS + better mud properties increase pump fluid end component wear time + reduces down hole tool erosion
Environment
- First responder. Spill recovery & segregation
- SLOPS taken below regional release point
- OOC% taken to below regional release point
- Reduction in risk & exposure to spills due to handling/vessel transfer/port storage/port transportation
- Reduction in 25% of emissions associated with OSV trips
VDL
- Next tubular string onboard
- Spare, down hole tool storage
- Large main deck storage space onboard
- DWM equipment onboard Samsara
- Dry silo & sack chemical storage
NPT Reduction
- OSV harbor access / dock issues
- OSV travel time to and from
- POOH (trip time) associated with DRLG fluid
- Good and in spec mud properties delivered to the rig quickly
- Large reduction in any pit cleaning and time/labor associated
