GN Solids Control is a leading Chinese manufacturer and global supplier of solids control and drilling waste management equipment for the oil & gas, HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling), and tunneling industries.
Core Products and Services GN’s product line covers the entire process from fluid purification to waste handling. Their equipment is essential for maintaining drilling fluid properties, reducing costs, and meeting environmental regulations.
- Solids Control Equipment (The “Five Stages”) This is their primary focus. The standard progression of equipment on a drilling rig is often referred to as the “mud system.”
Shale Shakers (1st Stage): The primary and first line of defense. They use vibrating screens to remove the largest drilled solids from the drilling fluid returning from the wellbore. GN offers various models, including linear motion and balanced elliptical motion shakers.
Vacuum Degassers (2nd Stage): Remove entrained gases (like methane or H₂S) from the drilling fluid, which is critical for maintaining fluid density and preventing kicks or blowouts.
Desanders & Desilters (3rd & 4th Stage): Hydrocyclones that use centrifugal force to remove finer sand and silt-sized particles. Desanders handle larger fine particles, while desilters remove the smallest ones.
Decanter Centrifuges (5th Stage): High-speed rotating machines that separate ultra-fine solids (down to the micron level) and barite (a weighting agent) from the liquid. This is crucial for recycling valuable barite and drying out waste.
- Drilling Waste Management After separation, the solids need to be handled.
Vertical Cutting Dryers: Further dry the drill cuttings from the shale shakers, recovering more valuable drilling fluid.
Screw Presses: A continuous, low-maintenance dewatering device that squeezes water out of slurries, creating a drier, more manageable solid cake.
Slurry Pumping Systems: Transfer waste slurries between equipment.
Skip & Box Systems: Containers for collecting and transporting dried cuttings and waste.
- Integrated Systems GN is known for building large, pre-fabricated systems that combine all the above equipment into a single, compact unit.
Mud System Skids: Custom-built systems that integrate shakers, degassers, desanders, desilters, and centrifuge pumps onto a single skid for easy transportation and rig-up.
Modular Plants: Larger, containerized systems for major drilling projects.
Key Features and Strengths
Global Presence: GN has a significant international footprint with offices, agents, and service centers in key oilfield regions worldwide (North America, Middle East, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa).
Strong R&D: They invest heavily in research and development to improve the efficiency, reliability, and automation of their equipment.
Competitive Pricing: Like many Chinese manufacturers, they often offer cost-competitive solutions compared to Western counterparts, without necessarily sacrificing quality.
Customization: They are known for their ability to design and build custom solutions tailored to specific client needs, well conditions, and rig space limitations.
One-Stop Shop: A client can source an entire solids control and waste management package from a single supplier.
