A large number of challenging drilling and underground construction projects are located in marine and coastal environments, such as port constructions, bridges or marine outfalls. Brackish water and seawater are often used as make-up water for drilling fluids in these kind of projects. Seawater make up is primarily used because of its large availability and to avoid freshwater detrimental salt contamination to the drilling fluid. In order to evaluate and manage the best use of seawater based mud systems, a drilling fluid engineer is crucial to the operation.

Niva Solution understands the challenges of drilling fluid management in Coastal and Marine environments and provides comprehensive planning and professional handling of seawater based mud systems. Not only to maximise efficiencies and minimize the costs of the whole drilling project, but also to make the operation environmentally sound.
