Q

The pneumatic containers which store bulk dry mud additives and cement on a MODU are called __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) mud system layout: where dry additives vs. mixed liquid mud are stored • Difference between pneumatic storage (pressurized air to move dry bulk) and open/liquid tanks • Typical names used offshore for dry bulk storage vs. names for liquid mud or mixing equipment

💭 Think About

• Which of these options would logically be connected to an air system and used to blow powdered material (like cement) through lines? • Which terms are normally used for liquid mud that has already been mixed, rather than dry bulk material? • On a rig tour, where would you expect to find powdered barite/cement—what are those containers usually called in practice?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices are normally associated with liquid mud storage rather than dry powder. • Identify which equipment is used specifically for mixing mud, not long‑term storage. • Focus on the term most commonly used offshore for pressurized dry bulk storage of cement and dry additives.
