CASE STUDIES

Project Delivery in the Field

Anonymised examples of the work Paragon delivers — from solids control audits and drilling waste campaigns to wastewater upgrades and multi-region equipment programmes. Named client references and detailed technical write-ups are available on request under NDA.

Solids control audit and shaker screen optimisation
01Oil & Gas/ North Africa — five-rig land fleet

Solids control audit and shaker screen optimisation

A drilling contractor operating a five-rig land fleet drilling deviated development wells was seeing accelerated shale shaker screen consumption and rising mud dilution rates across the whole campaign. Screen spend had roughly doubled inside a year with no visible improvement in mud properties.

Vertical cuttings dryer and dewatering package supply
02Drilling Waste/ West Africa — onshore development

Vertical cuttings dryer and dewatering package supply

An operator moving to a low-toxicity oil-based mud programme required a cuttings treatment package that would consistently meet a strict oil-on-cuttings discharge target on remote onshore pads with limited logistics support.

Historic drilling-waste pit remediation programme
03Environmental/ Central Europe

Historic drilling-waste pit remediation programme

A mid-cycle environmental contractor was mobilising to treat a legacy pit containing weathered hydrocarbon-contaminated drill cuttings and free liquids left over from a decommissioned drilling operation. Regulatory pressure required the pit to be reduced to an inert, off-site-ready product within a defined programme.

Sludge dewatering upgrade at an industrial WwTW
04Water Treatment/ Southern Europe

Sludge dewatering upgrade at an industrial WwTW

An industrial wastewater treatment works was hitting rising sludge disposal costs due to poor cake dryness on an ageing belt press. Cake was leaving site at a moisture level that pushed the operator into a higher-cost disposal category, and polymer consumption was climbing as operators tried to compensate.

Bentonite slurry treatment plant for tunnel boring project
05Construction/ Middle East

Bentonite slurry treatment plant for tunnel boring project

A civil contractor required a modular slurry treatment plant to support a bored tunnel section driven by a slurry TBM. Available surface pad space was tight, and the programme required the plant on line and stable within a short mobilisation window.

Multi-country spare parts programme for centrifuge fleet
06Equipment Sourcing/ Multi-region (Europe, Africa, Middle East)

Multi-country spare parts programme for centrifuge fleet

An international service company operating decanter centrifuges across several continents wanted to reduce parts spend and downtime from stock-outs. Different regions were ordering different brands and specifications for the same nominal wear parts, and consumption reporting was fragmented.

Modular MBR domestic wastewater treatment for a remote oil & gas camp, Gabon
07Water Treatment/ Gabon — remote onshore oil & gas camp

Modular MBR domestic wastewater treatment for a remote oil & gas camp, Gabon

A remote onshore oil & gas operation in Gabon required a reliable, compliant solution to treat domestic wastewater from workforce accommodation and site facilities. The client's objective was a compact, low-maintenance treatment system able to consistently meet Gabonese environmental discharge standards while reducing operating costs, chemical consumption and logistics dependency on a remote pad.
