Exclusive use of a 200 metre long quay having a draft of 10 metres.  Additional adjacent quay space will be made available, should it be required.  Good lighting system allows 24 hour operations.

-	20,000 square metres of asphalted storage area in the Port of Misurata.
-	30,000 square metres of pipe laydown area within the Free Zone area

Six silos of 40 cubic metres each and two cutting tanks of 12 cubic metres are available.  Three of the silos are used for barite/bentonite while the other three silos are used exclusively for cement.  Each tank has a weight indicator, stone catcher etc.  Pumping is done by a diesel driven compressor.  Two compressors are available on site for any eventualities.  An additional two silos having with a capacity of 100m³ each will be in installed in January 2010. Our Bulk plant is located on quay to enable direct pumping onto supply vessels.

The mud and brine plants are located beside each other, 20m from the quay water edge. Fluids are pumped directly onto supply vessels via hoses.

Mud Plant consists of 11 x 55cbm rectangular tanks, a total of over 600cbm capacity (approx 3800 bbls). Three of these tanks are mixing tanks and the others are storage tanks. The mixing tanks can also be used for storage purposes. All tanks are elevated to enable bottom suction entry to totally eliminate dead volume.

The plant has the capability to mix two mud types simultaneously. This is possible by having:

• two sets of two mission pumps, each set used to mix one type of mud.
• three mixing tanks;
• separate discharge and circulating pipe-lines;
• two independent feed hoppers.

The pumps are also diesel driven to avoid any interruptions in the eventuality of a power cut. Mix durations vary according to formulation but the standard rate of production is approx 100cbm per 12hrs. The plant operates round the clock when necessary to meet mud mixing deadlines.

Water is supplied from a storage facility on site. These fibre glass water tanks have a capacity of 5 x 70cbm, are vertical cylindrical and are situated beside the mud and brine plant.

Brine plant - This consists of four tanks, each 40cbm capacity. The mix can be carried out using any of the mud pump sets and hoppers. the tanks are rectangular section and purpose built. they incorporate a total of eight electrical motors to power the mixers. the brine plant is located close to the water storage and the mud plant. A mobile filtration unit can be brought close to the plant.

For environment protection both the mud and brine plants are enclosed in a bunding wall which retains a spill volume of approx 500cbm.

On Medserv Misurata’s quay potable/drilling water supply is available with a flow capacity of around 40 cubic metres per hour.  In addition, five fibreglass tanks suitable for potable water are also available onsite.  The capacity of each tank is 70 cubic metres.  These will be kept filled at all times to ensure water on tap when supply vessel arrives.
