Dear Sir,

I am pursuing a feasibility study for a major oil company in UK.

I am interested in bulk transfer technology for the purposes of drill cuttings conveyance in the North sea. Problems which need to be addressed are:

Who has the technology to pump drill cuttings 300 ft vertically (up the side of a rig)?

Who has the technology for ship transport of bulk drill cuttings?

I have contacted all major UK solids control companies (OIltools, Apollo, Swaco).

However, is it possible that the technology for a dredger vessel could be transferred to bulk transport of drill cuttings from rig to ship, then ship to rig?

Any help, contacts etc, would be really useful.

Regards
