“TPU-Burenye” Plans to Build a Plant for Production of Extra-Strong Lightened Drilling Mud for Oil Wells in the Territory of Tomsk SEZ

The company of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) of “TPU -Burenye” has become a resident of Tomsk special economic zone (SEZ), where it will build its own plant for production of extra-strong lightened drilling mud for oil wells, according to the press office of the University.

“The company intends to build its own plant on the northern site. “TPU-Byrenye” is going to invest about 100 million rubles in it. The construction will start in summer of 2014 and end in 2016. The project developer is Project and Designing Institute TPU. The new plant is to produce 2 thousand tons of ready-to-use products a month”, according to the message.

It is underlined that the company intends to produce its innovative developments in the field of drilling oil and gas wells. Tomsk scientists have developed extra-strong cement which is implemented at the final stage of drilling for separation of the water and oil layers and bentonite for horizontal wells of trenchless drilling.

According to deputy director of the company Igor Boyko, the cement developed by Tomsk scientists can provide for long operation time of wells without additional repairs, while bentonite will increase the quality of horizontal wells.

“Our development will increase the operation time of wells without additional repairs about one time and a half. Let’s assume that if a well reinforced with common solution worked 5 years, with our solution it would remain in operation for 7.5-8 years”, said Boyko. According to the higher educational establishment, the solutions developed by the students of the university are already implemented by large Siberian oil and gas as well as oil service companies.
