Oil & Gas

Solids control, waste management and equipment supply for onshore and offshore drilling operations worldwide.

Paragon has spent three decades supporting oil & gas operators, drilling contractors and service companies across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas. We understand the pressure of rig-time economics — every hour lost to poor solids control or a delayed spare part shows up on the AFE.

Our engineering team works from the mud pit outward: right-sizing shakers and centrifuges, cutting dilution rates, and ensuring the waste stream leaves site in the cheapest, most compliant form possible.

Common Challenges

  • High dilution rates driving up mud and haulage costs
  • Shale shaker blinding and premature screen failure
  • Centrifuge underperformance on weighted muds
  • Long OEM lead times on critical spares
  • Tightening cuttings-discharge regulations offshore

How Paragon Supports Oil & Gas

Solids control optimisation

On-site audits of the full solids removal train — from scalping shakers through to high-speed centrifuges — with concrete recommendations that typically cut dilution factor and mud cost within one campaign.

Drilling waste management

Cuttings dryers, dewatering units and stabilisation systems that reduce disposal tonnage and recover base fluid back to the active mud system.

Equipment supply & rental

OEM, aftermarket and refurbished shakers, centrifuges, mud cleaners, agitators and pumps — with wear-part packages sized for your formation.
