OIL AND GAS DRILLING ENCLOSURES

People who work in the oil and gas industries understand how important it is to stay constantly aware of job site hazards. Exposure to dangerous chemicals when working with machines like an oil rig mud tank is a safety hazard for employees and affects a refinery’s overall productivity. Read more about the common dangers in the industry and the gas enclosure solutions offered by Edge Inc.

Hazards When Working with Oil Rig Mud Tank

Employees working around mud pits are exposed to high levels of mist, vapor, and humidity from warm drilling fluid that condensates on contact with the cooler atmosphere. All drilling muds become contaminated with aromatics and hydrogen sulfide, which increases their toxicity. Workers are exposed to drilling fluids by inhaling mists or by skin contact, and the chance of high exposure increases when:

  • Washing with high-pressure guns
  • Cleaning mud pits
  • Working on top of mud pits
  • Transferring mud pit fluids

Characteristics of a High-Quality Oil and Gas Drilling Enclosure

Finding the right gas enclosure is an important decision. Here are some things to consider when looking for the best structure:

VERSATILITY

Most drilling rigs are located in remote areas with rough terrain, high altitude, and poor weather conditions. Your oil and gas drilling enclosure should be versatile enough to be buildable on any surface and capable of withstanding extreme weather conditions.

SAFETY

Minimizing the dangers to your workers is critical to the success of a refinery. Your gas enclosure should provide a solid ventilation system that decreases employee exposure to harmful pollutants. A structure that softens loud noise also reduces hearing loss from the loud noises produced by mud pumps.

DURABILITY

The gas enclosure should protect your oil rig mud tank and other valuable tools from the elements. It should also be durable enough to last throughout the project and able to store all of your heavy-duty equipment in one convenient location.
