Features:

• Mud Cooler model Bluefin has been designed to provide a safe and efficient process for cooling drilling fluids on high pressure / high temperature well (HTHP) sites for water based and oil based mud.
• Units can operate in parallel or series to suit drilling mud circulation rates and temperature drop requirements.
• Condition monitoring by pressure gauges and mechanical thermometers of all flow streams
• Rugged skid mount and frame, certified for offshore lift (SGS Gp - Societe Generale de Surveillance)
• Large plate cavity to prevent clogging
• Simple site operation and easy on-site installation through quick release hose connection
• All fabrication are as per PED standards
• All skid are to DNV 2-7.1 standard for offshore application
• Compact design allows for ease of transport by truck, or by container and minimizes required deck space for installation

Benefits:

• Lowering of flash point for site safety when using oil based fluids
• Greater accuracy with “downhole” measurement when using MWD devices
• MWD and logging tools can go to a greater depth and with increased endurance due to reduced thermal stresses
• Reduced usage of additives and increased life of elastomers
• Reduced long term maintenance cost
