Remas’s History

By investing in new technology to allow recovery, re-use and nearly 100% recycling of OBM drill cutting waste , REMAS OIL SERVICES is creating future local benefits , while succeeding in their primary objective of greatly reducing the environmental impact of new drilling operations.

Our commitment to the solutions is expressed in preparing, establishing and equipping two sites for actual OBM storing and treatment – one within Tripoli area and one in the desert – Ougila – in preparation.

All equipment listed below is fully OWNED by our Company.

We do not have to rent or lease any of the required operational equipment, therefore we can establish a more cost-effective way to provide solutions to your Waste Management issues. 

This is some history of the operations carried out through our partners : In 2008-2009 our Company together with Shell-Libya was the first to introduce storing of ALL accumulated drill mud cuttings on site , prior to movement for proper treatment and disposal. We prepared 16 x 550 bbls tanks and 4 x 350 bls open top tanks for this purpose – several of those tanks are actually now property of the NOC – Libya.

In 2009 – 2011 we actually was the first Company to receive official permit for the such transport from EGA – Libya

During 2014-2018 we fully participated and executed the MOG / ENI Contract , as main subcontractor to 3E – in our yard in Keremiah area – fully owned and operated by Delta Oil Services since 2002 .
Now we have the only officially certified and fully operational site for storing and treatment procedures – as required and approved by EGA. 

Please note, that the indefinite permit from EGA for our Company , is for the approved procedures and yard – as yard owner and operator – not , as all other Companies who are renting and need re-certification every year , or every five years.
We can also provide at the port 550 bbls – mobile tank to avoid delays of actual mud disposal and extra work at holidays , as well as full movement of mud and cuttings arriving in Libya.
We recently assisted MOG and Schlumberger in receiving more than 2,000 BBLS of LAMIX and OBM from their storing facility in Malta – through our mobile 400 BBLS and 500 BBLS tank system which was urgently required and fully operational at the AL Busetta port in Tripoli
Our long-term program for Waste Management is connected to our full investment into the future operations – REMAS Oil Services Co. owns , or co-owns all equipment which we offer to our Clients.
You may have noticed , that in the provided pictures in our Technical Proposal – we do not provide catalogue pictures of the proposed equipment – but ACTUAL photos of OUR proposed equipment when operating in the fields of Libya.
For our yard , and in case larger amounts of liquid mud / contaminated water is delivered:

1- We will establish a complete testing / collecting / waste pre-treatment facility in our yard – Lab Unit with Office for Client

2- The OBM cuttings and contaminated water available on site , are of course first to be tested in depth for TPH , as well as side penetration to establish actual volumes and percentages to be treated.

3- The excessive oils stored will be drained through heavy duty oil skimmers ( made in USA ) and stored in the provided oil storage tanks on site for further use , or treatment.

4- All remaining cuttings will be run through our 2 x HS 3400 BRANDT – USA - high speed fully adjustable decanter centrifuges – to extract as much as possible of the oil content and to reduce the need for materials to be run through the TDU. Our centrifuges are mounted on extendable stands to allow extended use in different conditions on site

5- ALL achieved and remaining mud cuttings with excessive ( more than 8 % ) are to be run through our Treatment Solidification / Moving of liquids facility on site to achieve content which is operational for the TDU.

6- All obtained extra oil will be stored in fully enclosed 500 BBLS storage tanks with triple skids and spark arrestors

7- We will use mechanical and chemical process to reduce the oils in the solution.
Mechanical solution – adding Sand and Portland Cement
Chemical solution – we will administer CaO and Sodium Silicate ( 40 % ) through our additional mixing system.
Some time actually both systems will be used simultaneously
