Mud Gas Separator Sizing & Design

Mud gas separator sizing and design selection is important for petroleum well drilling.Welcome to consult GN for the right sizing and fit design for your mud gas separator in oilfield drilling mud.

Mud/Gas Separator Sizing and Evaluation

Recent wellsite disasters have led to an increased emphasis on properly sized mud/gas separators. To assure safty,we

Mud Gas Separator sizing design
Mud Gas Separator sizing design

should know mud/gas separator technology and recommends separator configuration, components, design considerations, and a sizing procedure. A simple method of evaluating mud/gas separation within the separator vessel has been developed as a basis for the sizing procedure. A mud/gas separator sizing worksheet will assist drilling personnel with the sizing calculations. The worksheet provides a quick and easy evaluation of most mud/gas separators for a specific well application. A brief discussion of other mud/gas separator considerations is provided, including separator components, testing, materials, and oil-based-mud considerations.

The mud/gas separator is designed to provide effective separation of the mud and gas circulated from the well by venting the gas and returning the mud to the mud pits. Small amounts of entrained gas can then be handled by a vacuum-type degasser located in the mud pits. The mud/gas separator controls gas cutting during kick situations, during drilling with significant drilled gas in the mud returns, or when trip gas is circulated up.

Drilled solids discharge Decanting Centrifuges

Drilled solids discharge model decanting centrifuge is for drilling mud barite recovery.

drilled solids decanting centrifuge
drilled solids decanting centrifuge

Following is 1 type of solids discharge model decanting centrifuge.

Two Drilled solids discharge centrifuges, with suitable feed pumps, capable of running in continuous operation, suitable for:
a)Drilled solids discharge mode or barite recovery mode,
b)All types of water based or at a later date oil based well fluids,
c)The drilled solids discharge decanter centrifuge should process fluids with densities between 9 and 20 ppg; there may also be a need to process fluid densities up to 20.0 ppg with possible addition of Hematite
d)Decanter Centrifuges design will be variable speed type to handle high and standard feed rates.
e)Feed rates expected are + 60 gpm (25/7.5 HP) for low volume and + 250 gpm (50/15 HP) for high volume centrifuges
All discrete items for decanting centrifuges, feed pumps, etc should be skid mounted as single units/crane lifts;
All associated feed pumps, lines ancillary equipment to interface with drilling rig solids control/mud tank system;

Welcome to consult us for drilled solids discharge decanting centrifuge.

Drilling Mud Material

As drilling mud system manufacturer,some times we got inquiry for drilling mud materials.HDD mud materials,and oil gas drilling mud materials.

But we do not make drilling mud material,only drilling fluids recycling system,and equipments.

    Mud jet mixing system

    Mud jet mixing system is available for oil gas drilling & HDD (Horizontal directional drilling).

    Jet mixing pump is ok and what i understand from the photographs is that this jet mixing system is for online usage. That means that the mud is to be mixed while the intake of water is going on which is contrary to the actual system adopted in directional drilling wherein the water tanks are filled up first and then the mixing procedure starts so what we actually need is a jet mixing system which can actually act as a stirrer in the mud tank itself.

    Mud jet mixing system
    Mud jet mixing system

    We must also keep in mind that the speed of water intake is much higher than pouring of bentonite so online system for simultaneous water intake and mixing seems a little typical.

    I will try and send you some snaps of typical mud mixing system used in HDD in my next mail which can throw some more light on what i am trying to convey.

    There might be some misunderstanding for our jet mixing sytem,from your description,it seems our system just meet the requirements,pls see enclosed photoes for pipes linkes of our jet mixing systems.review the following explanation:

    The Combo Cleaner combines hydrocyclones and a Vibratory Screen to provide liquid/solids separation at a high flow rate. As a first stage, the mud is processed through the hydrocyclones, the cleaned fluids is carried out the Hydrocyclone overflow and the concentrated underflow (solids) are deposited on a vibratory screen deck. The screen deck imparts a rapid linear motion, producing an energy force that dewaters and conveys the solids to the discharge end of the screen. The screened fluids flows into a collection pan located below the screen deck. The cleaned liquid overflow from the hydrocyclones and the screened liquid may be blended together.Drilling Mud Cleaner Combo Unit – Hydrocyclones over a  Linear Motion Shale Shaker Screening Deck.
