Our deck barges and spud barges handle oilfield equipment hauling jobs that trucks cannot reach, carrying drilling components and pipe across shallow channels straight to the rig. The flat deck doubles as a work platform once the barge reaches the site, giving crews a solid footing right at the wellhead.
Oilfield Barge Services for Waste and Fluids
Our oilfield barge services cover waste and drilling fluids as well as equipment. Shale barges hold nonhazardous cuttings in stabilized cargo bins until an approved processor takes them off-site, and liquid mud barges carry Grade D and Grade E fluids in sealed deck tanks built to Coast Guard specs.
Oilfield Towing Designed for Gulf Coast Logistics
McDonough Marine's oilfield towing puts the right tug behind every barge, from a 600-horsepower push boat on a shallow bayou to a 2,200-horsepower vessel in open water. Our captains run single and tandem tows, choosing the setup based on the channel and draft. A breasted-tug arrangement adds control when two tugs move one barge through a tight passage.
Our membership in the American Waterways Operators Responsible Carrier Program holds every tow to a strict safety standard. Pairing the right barge with the right towboat moves drilling equipment and waste in and out of sites cut off from road access.
Why Choose McDonough Marine
McDonough Marine has served the oil and gas industry from the Gulf Coast for more than 75 years and operates the largest deck barge fleet in the country. This experience makes us experts in oilfield equipment hauling. Our fleet locations sit close to major drilling regions, and our logistics team matches the right barge and tug to each well site.
