Introduction

Striving for a sustainable planet

TWMA is the world's drilling waste specialist. We develop solutions for the safe and efficient transfer, storage and processing of drilling waste generated from drilling operations.

Our RotoMill® technology uses a process of thermal desorption to separate drill cuttings and associated materials into their three constituent parts - oil, water and powdered rock which can be returned into the value chain.

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to people, places and the environment. Through alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and our environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies, we’re making sustainability our core purpose.

Low carbon drilling

Decarbonising Operations

We advocate for Low Carbon Drilling, using our RotoMill technology on-site. By processing drilling waste at source associated carbon dioxide emissions are cut by 50%, helping operators to meet their climate commitments.

NOx emissions are also reduced by up to 90% supporting SDG 13. Waste handling, logistics and wider waste-related costs are also reduced, while keeping people and the environment safer.

Striving for efficiency

Automating your operation

TWMA developed XLink™ an automated and real time monitoring solution that removes manual intervention from the drill cuttings conditioning process. The automated system, which can be controlled remotely, allows personnel to control and monitor the system through human machine interface (HMI) at the wellsite.

As part of the automated solution, a cloud-based system is introduced allowing users to view operations in real time and change project parameters from anywhere in the world. The innovative system reduces POB, improves operational insights, and automates your wellsite processing system to lower cost, improve safety and lower carbon emissions.

Turning waste into value

Supporting the circular economy

At TWMA, drilling waste management is not about waste disposal. To us, it’s about seeing how we turn this drilling waste into value. 

We recover valuable base oil from drill cuttings at source for reuse in the drilling process. This returns significant commercial savings while eliminating oil to landfill. It also reduces how much new oil has to be purchased and shipped. Recovered base oil at our onshore processing facility is further processed to enable it to be used as a fuel oil, rather than having to be disposed to landfill.

Adding back to the value chain

Zero waste to landfill

Reducing the waste we take to landfill has been a top priority for us at TWMA. With the ultimate goal of Zero Waste to Landfill vision we are always looking for value avenues for our waste streams, supporting SDG 12.

We have worked with universities to find viable uses for inert powder recovered from the process to eliminate the need for landfill, supporting SDG Target 9.5. In 2022, following work with the UK’s leading concrete research facility, the use of our recovered powder has been approved for use within concrete, road construction and plastic production.

Trust the specialists
