TWMA, an expert in drilling waste management, has secured a multi-million-dollar contract with a North Sea operator to provide offshore drilling waste management services for an upcoming drilling campaign in the UK North Sea.

Awarded under an existing agreement, the project will deploy TWMA’s RotoMill technology and associated equipment, with mobilisation scheduled for Q3 2026 and operations expected to begin in Q4 2026 across a multi-well campaign.

The contract strengthens TWMA’s North Sea portfolio, building on more than two decades of activity in the region.

The project will be delivered by the company’s Aberdeen-based team, with TWMA set to process approximately 2,000 metric tonnes of drill cuttings per well.

By treating drilling waste offshore at source rather than transporting it to shore, the RotoMill system can reduce vessel movements and associated emissions by up to 50 per cent compared with onshore processing.

TWMA said the approach is expected to deliver significant safety and environmental benefits, including a substantial reduction in associated CO2e emissions.

John Robertson, UK General Manager at TWMA, said: “We’ve been working in the North Sea for more than two decades and securing new work like this is a strong endorsement of our UK business and our team in Aberdeen. It reflects the confidence operators continue to place in our technology, our people and our ability to deliver safely and efficiently in challenging offshore environments.”

Halle Aslaksen, CEO of TWMA, added: "The UK Continental Shelf remains an important strategic market for TWMA where we have been delivering drilling waste management solutions for more than two decades. This contract reinforces our long-term commitment to operators in the region, helping them manage their drilling waste more safely, efficiently and sustainably.” -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
