Cutting transportation system (CTS)

We have developed the CTS system based on proven technology used in the offshore market for over 10 years. The system is of modular design allowing ease of installation on most rig types. The system was developed to transport cuttings away from the well area during top hole drilling on Semi submersible rigs and during cleanup operations on the seabed.


The system was evolved to compliment our RMR operations and requires limited deck space for installation. The CTS system is capable of running for long periods of time without maintenance and is able to pump large particles without blockages in the system.

The pump was designed to run underwater with discharge over 2km away from the actual pump. Appropriate hoses are fitted, dependant on location and the disposal area is configured. Once operations commence, the velocity in the hoses is kept at a speed which prevents any settling of slurry or cuttings in the hose.

Benefits of using this technology are cost savings to the operator by removing the necessity for a supply vessel and the equipment can be used in environmentally sensitive areas as little or no footprint on the seabed is attainable.
