The Midland yard

Fourteen acres
in the Permian.

S3S has worked the Permian Basin since 2011. In April 2022 the Midland team moved onto a 14-acre fenced yard with seven bay doors, a wash bay, and a mud and data lab with full PSA and PSD capability, plus living quarters for crews staying on site. From here S3S supports drilling programs across West Texas and Southeast New Mexico.

Midland facility

A yard built for high-volume Permian programs.

S3S moved onto a 14-acre fenced yard in Midland on April 30, 2022, up from five acres, with seven bay doors, one wash bay, a mud and data lab with full PSA/PSD capability, and living quarters for up to a dozen employees.

Stage 3 equipment fleet organized for deployment

West Texas and Southeast New Mexico coverage.

Midland supports high-volume drilling programs across West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. A documented Midland Basin installation, three MudCubes and one 19-inch-bowl centrifuge, processed 100% of the volume below the flowline shakers and cut diesel consumption 43%, saving the customer $39,000 per well on that project.

01

A yard sized for volume

Seven bay doors and a 14-acre fenced yard let the Midland team stage equipment for high-volume drilling programs without waiting on space.

02

On-site mud and data lab

The Midland lab runs full PSA and PSD testing on site, so fluid and solids data comes from the yard, not a courier.

03

Crews that can stay on location

Living quarters for up to a dozen employees keep crews close to the equipment during extended programs.

Field results

Documented performance from a Midland Basin installation.

A Midland Basin case study using three MudCubes and one 19-inch-bowl centrifuge recorded the following results. These are project-specific results, not a promise of future performance.

100%Volume processed through MudCube

The case study reports that all volume below the flowline shakers was processed through the MudCube system.

43%Less diesel consumed

The documented installation reduced diesel consumption by 43%.

$39,000Saved per well

The documented configuration saved the customer $39,000 per well.

Built for the Permian

One documented installation shows what the equipment can do.

A Midland Basin project running three MudCubes and one 19-inch-bowl centrifuge processed all of the volume below the flowline shakers, cut diesel consumption 43%, and saved the customer $39,000 per well. It is one project, not a standard result, but it shows how the pieces work together on a Permian location.

01

Process at the flowline

The documented installation ran MudCube screens on 100% of the volume below the flowline shakers before it moved further downstream.

02

Cut fuel use

Pairing the MudCubes with a 19-inch-bowl centrifuge reduced diesel consumption by 43% on that installation.

03

Save cost per well

The same configuration saved the customer $39,000 per well, a project-specific result tied to that fluid program and site.

04

Review the fluid program first

Every Permian location has its own fluid system and drilling plan. The Midland team reviews both before recommending equipment.

Work with S3S

Talk to the Midland team about your program.

Share the drilling location, fluid system, and timing. The Midland team will scope the solids-control equipment your program in West Texas or Southeast New Mexico needs.

What happens next

  1. A separation specialist reviews the fluid system, the well plan and the site.
  2. We size the equipment and the crew against your schedule and the outputs you need.
  3. You get a configuration and a scope you can price the job against.
