Leading UK officials recently stated that to achieve net-zero, the UK needs to have a thriving Oil and Gas sector as it transitions over to renewables (source: AGCC). Recently, Enhanced Drilling has managed to strengthen their position on the UKCS, following three major contract wins for their cost efficient and environmentally- According to Enhanced Drilling's COO, Lars J. Halvorsen, the company is expecting an increased return of activity on the UKCS over the next couple of years, as the Best Available Technology (BAT) principle is now more widely used in conjunction with environmental considerations. "We are extremely pleased to be awarded these contracts on the UKCS. We are also excited to see that the UK energy sector is adopting our zero-emissions services and proven technologies that can contribute towards not only meeting the UK's demand for oil and gas today, but also aid the transition towards net-zero," Halvorsen said. RMR® technology – risk reducing, with less GHG emissions during drilling. The RMR® and CTS solutions will be applied for several wells in the UK North Sea. The RMR® system is a risk-reduction tool that enables the drilling of a better quality, and more stable top-hole, with less environmental impact. It is a Dual Gradient Drilling system, which makes it possible to return drilling fluid and cuttings to the installation without discharge to the seabed. With RMR®, it is possible to reuse and recycle the mud during RMR® operations in comparison with conventional drilling where cuttings and drilling fluids are discharged to sea and seabed. As such, materials used in the production of drilling fluid will be reduced. The contribution varies depending on the drilling fluids used, however, the technology gives operators the possibility to reduce top-hole casing string, resulting in less material used per well and less Greenhouse Gas emissions. Technologies and services Enhanced Drilling aims to help oil companies around the world solve challenges on all types of subsea wells, from top-hole drilling, intermediate section drilling, and reservoir drilling through the whole well construction process including completion. www.enhanced- End
