Page 4 Case Study A - Project Alberta Summary Location: Alberta, Canada Application: Oil & Gas Water-Based Drilling Fluid in the Vertical Section and Oil-Based Mud in the Lateral Section – 120 Total Wells Drilled. System Configuration: Turn-Key CSI-D4TM Fully-Integrated Package Challenges / Problems: i. Canada has had a long history of unsuccessful vertical cutting dryer deployments over the last two decades. These unsuccessful deployments have hurt the reputation of the technology and have led many to turn to drying shakers and chemical binders to manage the combination of water-based cuttings and oil-based cuttings. ii.
