Our Services

Cutpoint specializes in solids/liquid separation. We supply training, reporting systems, software, and personnel to the drilling industry. For over 25 years, E&P operators and service companies have relied on Cutpoint to deliver innovative and practical field solutions. Our ability to quantify performance with meaningful KPIs and to analyze data sets Cutpoint apart from other consulting firms. We are passionate about lowering well construction costs and improving drilling performance. Let us put our knowledge of drilling fluids, solids control, and drilling waste management to work for you.

Engineering

Cutpoint designs oilfield equipment and processes to satisfy drilling requirements. We specialize in harsh and remote environments. We apply engineering fundamentals to optimize the performance of Mud Tank Systems, Shale Shakers, Centrifuges, Thermal Desorption Equipment, and Cuttings Handling Equipment.

Consulting

Cutpoint delivers comprehensive solutions. We understand how the functionality of drilling fluids, solids control, and cuttings disposal is interlocked. The performance of one affects the performance of all. Look to Cutpoint for knowledgeable consultants to improve mud system performance and lower overall drilling costs.

Project Management

Cutpoint has effectively managed backyard operations in the shale plays with rig fleets of more than twenty rigs. Our know-how and our ability to work closely with drilling contractors, mud companies, and solids control providers enables our clients to realize cost savings.

Training

Solids Control and Drilling Waste Management training is more important than ever. Today’s drilling environment with inherently high ROP’s can quickly overwhelm a mud system with solids. Cutpoint training classes explain equipment fundamentals, teach good process design, and give drilling management teams the skills needed to quantify performance and cost. In-house training seminars can be scheduled with flexible days and hours to suit operational needs. Web based training is also available.

App Development

Cutpoint develops apps for mobile devices. We have helped operators and service companies build software based reports designed to make KPI’s related to solids control visible to drilling management. Check out our apps for the iPhone or Android.

Lab Analysis

Process data is crucial for both quality control and for evaluating system performance. Cutpoint provides independent third party test results. Our lab personnel have years of experience with drilling fluids, completion fluids, flowback waters, and drilling wastes. Standard services offered include gravimetric retort analysis, particle size distribution, mud to cuttings ratio, and bench scale suitability testing for filtration, centrifugation or thermal treatment processes. Contact us for economical, quick, and reliable lab data.
