SPECIALIST drilling waste management company, TWMA, has secured a seven-figure contract with Spirit Energy.
The first scope of a five-year contract will see TWMA provide drilling waste management services on the harsh-environment jack-up rig Maersk Resolve as Spirit Energy drills the Grove North East well in the Southern Sector of the North Sea.

The rig, currently in Denmark, will mobilise to the UK in Q2 this year.
The contract, which carries the option of two one-year extensions, marks TWMA’s first project with the E&P company and gives Spirit Energy access to TWMA’s skip & ship, bulk cuttings transfer, NORM services and drill cuttings processing services with its award winning TCC RotoMill®.
The TCC RotoMill® can be deployed offshore at the rig site and allows operators and rig contractors to treat drill cuttings at source eliminating both the cost and carbon footprint associated with ship to shore methods.
Gareth Innes, TWMA chief engineering and commercial officer, said: “This latest contract win further expands our reach in the North Sea.
“We’re proud to be working with Spirit Energy and are looking forward to developing this new relationship, delivering significant cost savings and environmental benefits to their future projects.
“Having processed 66,000 tonnes globally in 2020, and with more than 50% of the drilling rigs in the UK now operating with a TCC RotoMill® on them, this latest win cements our position as the market leader in drilling waste management.
“Spirit Energy was particularly interested in our low carbon drilling solutions, and how these could contribute to its commitment to sustainability.
“Lower carbon solutions are key to our industry as we head towards climate change discussions at COP26 and we’re proud to play a role in this transition.”
