Cleantech service provider Soiltech has secured a contract from oil and gas exploration company Tullow to handle the treatment of contaminated water on a semi-submersible drilling unit offshore Mauritania.
Scheduled for startup by Q3 2024, the contract will see Soiltech’s utilize its innovative Slop Treatment Technology to reduce fluid waste generated during well plugging and abandonment operations.
“We are proud to be awarded this contract, which is our first project for Tullow. We see that the focus on waste reduction and stricter environmental requirements continues to increase world-wide. For Soiltech this opens up opportunities across our entire technology portfolio,” Soiltech’s CEO Jan Erik Tveteraas said.
This process, devoid of chemical usage, not only aligns with environmental regulations but also aids in minimizing waste sent to shore for disposal.
