GN SOLIDS CONTROL is proud to announce a significant achievement: the successful order and dispatch of a 2600BBL complete rig solids control system for Kuwait Oil Company (KOC). This approval is not a trivial credential; it is a rigorous validation of our manufacturing processes, quality assurance protocols, also places us among an elite group of suppliers qualified to serve one of the world’s most prolific hydrocarbon producers.
Since been established in 1934, KOC’s production capacity directly determines Kuwait’s position on the global energy map, and this responsibility brings them a strict standard for equipment suppliers. This latest order GN has provided represents a comprehensive mud processing solution, which integrates a full cascade of solids control units: high-performance shale shakers for primary separation, desanders and desilters for intermediate particle removal, a vacuum degasser for entrained gas elimination, and decanting centrifuges for fine solids recovery. Each component has been meticulously selected and matched to ensure hydraulic balance across the entire circulating loop, enabling the rig to maintain drilling fluid properties within stringent operational windows.
The entire control architecture of this system has been ATEX-certified in order to maintain the electrical reliability under desert or other extreme temperatures. Moreover, the enclosures are designed with enhanced thermal management and ingress protection ratings, guaranteeing uninterrupted performance even when ambient conditions push equipment to its thermal limits. Such foresight in design directly translates to reduced non-productive time and lower total cost of ownership—metrics that resonate deeply with operators in this region.
From solids control equipment to turnkey packages, the 2600BBL project epitomizes GN SOLIDS CONTROL boosts global drilling efficiency and safety. This holistic approach not only simplifies procurement logistics but also mitigates interface risks, allowing our clients to focus on their core drilling objectives.
As we witness the global energy sector’s renewed focus on operational efficiency and safety, our partnership with KOC serves as a powerful testament to what GN SOLIDS CONTROL can deliver. We invite operators, drilling contractors, and EPC firms worldwide to consider the same level of technical assurance and system integration expertise.
