70% to passThe pneumatic containers which store bulk dry mud additives and cement on a MODU are called _______________.
A
bulk bins
B
P-tanks
C
mud tanks
D
mud hoppers
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) P-tanks. P-tanks, or pressure tanks, are the pneumatic containers that store bulk dry mud additives and cement on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit). These pressurized tanks allow for the controlled storage and transport of these essential drilling fluids and materials on offshore drilling rigs. The other options are incorrect because: A) bulk bins are not specifically designed for pressurized storage, C) mud tanks are generally used for liquid mud and drilling fluid storage, and D) mud hoppers are funnel-shaped containers used to feed mud into the drilling system, not for bulk dry storage.
