Audits
Data-Driven Rig Appraisals
Maximize Rig Efficiency, Minimize Mud Waste
Solids control and drilling fluids management represent significant well costs. Our independent audits evaluate equipment performance, process configuration, and fluid properties to identify bottlenecks and immediate optimization steps.
Solids Control Equipment Performance
Rigorous assessment of shale shakers, mud cleaners, and centrifuges to verify optimal operation and GPM capacity match.
Fluid Loss & Retentate Tracking
Identify where mud is being lost on cuttings and evaluate waste streams to minimize footprint and disposal costs.
Screen Integrity & Configuration Check
Evaluate shaker screen sizes and condition to prevent premature screens failure and bypass of solids.
KPI & Cost Modeling
Generate data models comparing actual solids removal efficiency against target metrics to project ROI.
The Audit Process
Onsite Visual Inspection
Verify physical configuration, installation angles, feed systems, and wear parts.
Data Logging & Sampling
Collect mud weight, cuttings discard density, and retort samples over operational cycles.
Performance Calculation
Compute solids removal efficiency (SRE) and calculate volumetric dilution requirements.
Actionable Audit Report
Provide a structured report detailing specific adjustment recommendations and cost impact projections.
Schedule a Rig Audit
Let our independent engineering experts verify your solids control setup and find performance improvement areas.
