What is Sand Control?

By Oilfield glossary, sand control is one of the process of well completions. “The installation of equipment or application of techniques to prevent migration of reservoir sand into the wellbore or near-wellbore area. In weak formations, sand control may be necessary to maintain the structure of the reservoir around the wellbore. In other formation types, the migration of sand and fines into the near wellbore area may severely restrict production. Each of these conditions requires different treatments. The principal sand-control techniques include gravel packing and sand consolidation.”

Sand control focusing on gravel packing, the most popular choice.

What is Gravel packing?

Gravel packing involves the complete placement of selected gravel across the production interval to prevent the production of formation fines or sand. Any gap or interruption in the pack coverage will enable undesirable sand or fines to enter the producing system.

It includes the following components:

1 production tubing

2 production casing

3 Gravel-pack packer

4 Gravel placed in casing and perforations

5 Gravel pack screen

6 Sump packer

Sand control V.S. Solids control

Sand control has always played an important role in oil production, but solids control plays an important role in oil well drilling. They are utilized in different area.

Solids control is a technique used for well drilling to provide prepared drilling fluids for drilling rigs. Drilling fluid maintenance cost, clean up, and disposal cost as well as the overall cost of boring can be reduced dramatically when proper solids control techniques are utilized.

Now we have already Exclusive agent in Turkey, we produce mud tanks there and ship the solids control equipments from GN factory, and assembly them in Turkey. It will save considerable transportation cost of mud tank and fast the delivery time a lot. The clients in Turkey and Turkey neighborhood, such as Iran, Syria, Dubai, Egypt, Iraq, etc. countries, will benefit from this convenience.

1500m drilling rigs are used to explore middle deep oil and coal-bed methane. They have characteristics of simple structure and easy operation. There are four types of this rig: ZJ15,ZJ15DJ ,ZJ15DZ,ZJ15DB.

The1500m drilling rig has a parallelogram substructure and a telescoping mast. The mast is raised by cylinders and expanded or contracted with wireline, 1 500kW AC frequency converting motor is used to drive the drum shaft of the drawworks through the counter shaft and the roller chain. The drawworks has two gear shifts—high speed and low speed. The gear shifting is made by using the push-disc type clutch. The main brake is the hydraulic disc brake. The rotary table is connected to the drawworks with the chain and driven by the drawworks. The closed chain compound case uses the fully forced splash lubrication. The auxiliary brake is FDWS-15 air-cooling electromagnetic eddy current brake.

Petson is a local company in Turkey who can provides the complete solution for drilling rig package, including drilling rig (mobile rig), mud pump, solids control system, well control equipments, generators, etc. They have a big yard and capability to assembly the complete drilling rig package and ship to drilling site, especially in middle east. They have rich experience in oilfield drilling industry and during these years, they get good reputation and always keep good relationship with many drilling service companies.

Oil Field Drilling Equipments are composed of different kinds of oilfield equipment including drilling equipment, workover equipment and production equipment.The world’s famous standard for oilfield drilling equipments are API standard (The American Petroleum Institute (API).

drilling rig

drilling rig

A drilling rig is a machine which creates holes (usually called boreholes) and/or shafts in the ground. Drilling rigs can be massive structures housing equipment used to drill water wells, oil wells, or natural gas extraction wells or they can be small enough to be moved manually by one person.hey sample sub-surface mineral deposits, test rock, soil and groundwater physical properties, and also can be used to install sub-surface fabrications, such as underground utilities, instrumentation, tunnels or wells. Drilling rigs can be mobile equipment mounted on trucks, tracks or trailers, or more permanent land or marine-based structures (such as oil platforms, commonly called ‘offshore oil rigs’ even if they don’t contain a drilling rig). The term “rig” therefore generally refers to the complex of equipment that is used to penetrate the surface of the earth’s crust.

GN Solids Control is one of China leading manufacturer of solids control equipment

triplex mud pump

triplex mud pump

Triplex Mud Pumps is a reciprocating piston/plunger device designed to circulate drilling fluid under high pressure (up to 7500 PSI) down the drill string and back up the annulus.Triplex Mud Pumps come in a variety of sizes and configurations but for the typical petroleum drilling rig, the triplex (three piston/plunger) mud pump is the pump of choice. Duplex mud pumps (two piston/plungers) have generally been replaced by the triplex pump, but are still common in developing countries. A later development is the Hex pump with six pistons/plungers.

  • Well Control Equipment.
