All-inclusive planning, execution and monitoring CRI process
M-I SWACO has developed an integrated Cuttings Re-Injection (CRI) process that has emerged as a proven and effective solution for the disposal of drilled cuttings. By eliminating the need to accumulate, store and haul cuttings to shore for treatment, operators save time, labor and rig space. Some of the key factors in gaining these benefits are effective handling and preparation of cuttings before re-injection.
Our integrated and site-specific CRI systems uses slurrification as a practical and cost-effective way to process drilled cuttings for re-injection. Cuttings are collected, conditioned and mixed with seawater to form viscous slurry ready for immediate re-injection into a downhole formation.
M-I SWACO also designed an all-inclusive CRI assurance program to minimize the risks of future liability. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists and engineer start by examining the merits of potential injection formations. The team then designs and executes the injection process, all the while monitoring the progress. That monitoring continues after the project is complete.
The comprehensive CRI process gives operators the confidence and ability to:
- Re-inject into existing production wells
- Drill and re-inject simultaneously
- Inject into existing wells or into dedicated cuttings disposal wells
