If you have over 30 years experience for drilling, you will know, what is real required and what is not for close loop mud system. Sometimes people just seek for unrealistic specifications, which did not mean good for the operation. GN solids control would like to share your new idea about the drilling solids control, and put your idea into realization. We have the ability to design as your layout, no matter  you choose us as the complete system manufacturer or not.

close loop mud system

Recently drilling has been changed a lot, the old experience did not work, people has their own new design. “Zero discharge mud systems” are urgently required because of the environment protection. Auger box, screw conveyor can be used to collect the drilling cuttings from shale shaker, desander, desilter, mud cleaner, dewatering unit and centrifuge, then transfer them to a catch pit for later processing. In some development company where the government did not have strict regulation on environment protection, they even do not use any mud system, and let the drilling fluids discharged directly. They may face big problem in the future.

Dewatering unit is required to work together with the system, it can make further process of the fluids after processed by centrifuge after the well is finished.

The mud tank is designed similar to 40 feet standard container, it is more convenient to transport in any countries in the world. All the lifting device, dimension, skid is same with container, and we put GN solids control equipments on top of it.

If you required Close Loop mud System for oil & gas drilling, pls contact GN solids control, our service including design, consultant, manufacture and shipment.

The mud tanks manufactured by GN solids control have been sold to more than 48 countries in the world, the application including oil & gas drilling solids control system, mud mixing system, mud storage, HDD mud recycling system, mining slurry separation system, etc.

Many clients asked us this question, how to revert API To Micron for Shaker screen mesh，even most of shaker screens manufactures in China do not have this knowledge. Some manufacturers use the API number as mesh directly, this will be incorrect, if clients do not have professional knowledge, they will use the wrong mesh screens and can not get the ideal result.

Here we will introduce how to revert API To Micron for Shaker screen.

API shaker screen

This is a chart to show how to convert mesh to microns, to know how to convert microns( D100 separation), then to know how to convert mesh to API, or API to mesh, pls contact GN solids control.

We can produce replacement shaker screens for Derrick 500, Derrick 48-30, Kem-tron KTL48, Swaco Mongoose, Brandt King Cobra shaker screens.

Oil Well Choke & Kill Manifold are a kind of well-control equipments, GN solids control do not produce such equipments, our products range including a complete set of solids control equipments and mud tanks.

An arrangement of piping or valves designed to control, distribute and often monitor fluid flow. Manifolds are often configured for specific functions, such as a choke manifold used in well-control operations and a squeeze manifold used in squeeze-cementing work. In each case, the functional requirements of the operation have been addressed in the configuration of the manifold and the degree of control and instrumentation required.

Chock Manifold

choke manifold

Oil well choke manifold is high-pressure pipe leading from an outlet on the BOP stack to the backpressure choke and associated manifold. During well-control operations, the fluid under pressure in the wellbore flows out of the well through the choke line to the choke, reducing the fluid pressure to atmospheric pressure. In floating offshore operations, the choke and kill lines exit the subsea BOP stack and then run along the outside of the drilling riser to the surface.

A choke manifold is used to lower the pressure from the well head. It consists of a set of high pressure valves and at least two chokes. These chokes can be fixed or adjustable or a mix of both. The redundancy is needed so that if one choke has to be taken out of service, the flow can be directed through another one. these long choke and kill lines must be considered to control the well properly.

Shear pump is usually used together with Jet mud mixing unit, to be assembled as a jet shearing unit in oilfield solids control system.

Jet shearing unit

The jet shearing unit is formed by shear pump, mixing hopper, pipeline and polymer/clay hydrator. For installation transportation, the polymer/clay hydrator is formed by a separate compartment.

oilfield shear pump

The pump should be located the liquid source so that the suction line can be short and reduce loses. The foundation should be sufficiently rigid and substantial to absorb any vibration and support the base plate at all points. The base plate should be installed in a level position.

Oilfield shear pump

The JQB series shear pump adopts a set of compound seal for no leakage at stuffing box. Inside pump is a 300series stainless steel turbine containing 44 nozzles, four scoops and shear plate. Fifty(50)% of the fluid is sheared twice each time through the pump. This turbine shear pump is mounted on a special base with belts and sheaves to drive pump, OSHA type belt guard and a electric motor. Included is a special hopper(ZHP150) with nozzle sized for this application and one mud kit as a package in order to build a complete shear and hydration system. The pump is designed to give longer service life through the improved shaft seal.

There are many principles of proper pump installation and application as well as special considerations for the pump design which, if followed, will further enhance the performance of your shear pump.

This document will deal with both general and specific recommendations for improved JQB series turbine shear performance in both oilfield and industrial applications.

There’s a lot to consider when purchasing or leasing a horizontal directional drill — features, durability, support, training and overall value. But one area often overlooked is the potential resale value of the unit.
Too often contractors will overlook the potential value of the machine after its useful life in their operation is over. In addition, as more contractors utilize leasing as an acquisition strategy, resale value becomes a more important component in the purchase decision.

Vermeer has distributor everywhere in the world, you can get good after-sales service from them easily.
