Jan. 28, 2019

BROUSSARD, La. — Temporary accommodations provider HB Rentals has completed the customization and delivery of a mud-lab trailer for a client working in the Permian Basin. The trailer was converted from HB’s standard oilfield trailer setup of two bedrooms with a living room and kitchen to a one office trailer with a mud-lab. The custom mud-lab trailer will now support a drilling project in the Permian Basin.

Customized Mud-Lab Trailer

HB was approached by a client who had specific requirements for a mud-lab trailer to support their drilling project in the Permian Basin. They requested a trailer with an office and mud-lab setup with stations and hookups to accommodate four pressurized consistometers, two ultrasonic cement analyzers, two stirred fluid loss station, one atmospheric consistometer, one constant speed mixer, one viscometer, one rheometer heat cup, one water bath station, an electronic balance and computer station. To meet these requirements HB would need to modify an existing oilfield trailer. HB’s Broussard operations team along with HB’s engineering team worked closely with the client providing a detailed layout drawing of the proposed custom mud-lab trailer. The client reviewed the layout and provided notes back on some small changes they wanted to better fit their work flow. With these notes HB went back and revised the layout and sent it to the client for final approval.

After reviewing the revised layout the client gave their approval and HB began customizing the trailer. HB’s standard oilfield trailer is setup with two bedrooms, a kitchen and living room. These rooms were stripped of their contents and new wiring and plumbing were run to accommodate the requested mud-lab equipment. After completing the wiring and plumbing new cabinets and desk space were constructed to provide work stations for the new equipment. Once these modifications had been completed the trailer was prepared for transportation and delivered to location in the Permian Basin. HB’s Midland, TX facility would take over the job completing the installation of the mud-lab trailer on site and providing any maintenance and service needed throughout the rental of the trailer.
