Mud Solids Control Equipment

Gas buster

Gas buster also called poor boy degasser or mud gas separator, which is used for oil and gas drilling. The description on oilfield glossary is “A simple separator vessel used to remove free or entrained gas from fluids circulated in the wellbore, such as mud used during drilling operations. The gas buster typically comprises a vessel containing a series of baffles with a liquid exit on the bottom and a gas-vent line at the top of the vessel”.

Gas Buster

is an important equipment to prevent well kick during drilling, so the production process should be strictly controlled. The process control including the following aspects:

1 Surface preparation

Steelwork:

Before all paint actions will be taken the surface to be coated must be clean and free from contamination. Sharp edges shall be rounded or smoothed to radius 2 mm. Hard surface layers shall be removed by grinding before blasting. All welds shall be fully sealed.

Abrasive Blast Cleaning:

As abrasive steel grit or copper slag can be used. If oxidation has occurred between blasting and application of paint, the surface should be reblasted to the specified visual standard.

Surface defects revealed by the blast cleaning process, should be ground, filled, or treated in the appropriate manner.

Agitator tank, agitator mixer

GN solids control is seeking for a reliable and powerful partner who makes mud tanks in Latin America, we will provide solids control equipments and when tank is ready, you can install it on the tank.

Because of the long distance shipment from China to Latin America, and the high import tax of mud tank, the economic way is to make the tank by local mud tank manufacture and installed with GN equipments. We will have a technician for instruction of installation.

Agitator mixer uses an impeller to mix and suspend the solids using both axial and radial flows, and by utilizing low shear mixers to suspend and mix mud additives particle size degradation and polymer shear. Unlike centrifugal pumps or mud guns. The Mud Agitator is relatively low shear and low energy device, so it’s easy to operate and inexpensive to maintain. This will ensure that mud additives are homogeneously mixed to prevent dead spots. Agitators will keep the active mud system flowing even when the pumps are disengaged and keep the weighting agents in suspension.

Rotary rig equipments for sale

GN solids control is specialist of solids control equipments for rotary rig in China, we have various kinds of mud equipments in stock, welcome to inquiry us.

Rotary rigs drill the vast majority of wells today, including all medium and deep wells. The rotary rig consists of four major systems. These include the engines, and the hoisting, rotating, and mud systems.

General of drilling mud(drilling fluids)

Common drilling mud is made of bentonite clay. A heavier drilling mud can be made by adding barite. Various chemicals are also used in different situations. The drilling mud liquid is usually water but is sometimes oil-based. Drilling mud are described by weight. Water weighs 8.3 pounds per gallon. Average bentonite drilling mud weighs from 9 to 10 ppg. Heavy drilling mud weighs from 15 to 20 pounds per gallon. The heavier the drilling mud, the greater the pressure it exerts on the bottom of the well.

Fluid is circulated while the drilling proceeds. Powerful pumps move the fluid down to the pipe, through the bit and back to the surface, carrying the cuttings and other debris with it. Thus, on a rotary rig , drilling can be continuous as stopping to bail the cuttings is no longer required. The drilling mud also stabilizes the walls of the hole.

Mud circulation system for rotary rig

Drilling mud is stored in steel mud pits beside the rig. The drilling mud then flows down through the hollow rotating drill string and jets out through holes in the drilling bit on the bottom of the well. The drilling mud picks cuttings from the bottom of the well. It flows up the well in the space between the rotating drill string and well walls.

Drilling cuttings management system for sale

GN solids control is in a process of design and manufacture vertical cutting dryer, we will get it into production in several months.

The first step in managing drilling wastes is to separate the solid cuttings from the liquid drilling mud. Once solid and liquid drilling wastes have been separated, companies can use a variety of technologies and practices to manage the wastes. For some applications, drilling wastes are solidified or stabilized prior to their ultimate management practice. The management technologies and practices can be grouped into three major categories: waste minimization, recycle/reuse, and disposal.

GN solids control equipments can make the first step of solids control, to clean the drilling mud and reuse for drilling rig.

If the solids collected by the shale shakers are still coated with so much mud that they are unsuitable for the next reuse or disposal step or if the used mud is valuable enough to collect as much of it as possible, the solids can be further treated with drying shakers utilizing high gravitational separation, vertical or horizontal rotary cuttings dryers, screw-type squeeze presses, or centrifuges. The cuttings dryers recover additional mud and produce dry, powdery cuttings.

Our equipments can do a series job for drilling cuttings management, firstly we use high G shaker to dry the drilling cuttings and recycle a small part of the drilling fluids for re-use. Most of the drilling cuttings are dried and transferred to vertical cutting dryer by screw conveyor. The dry the drilling cutting is, the better performance can reach by the cutting dryer.

After processed by vertical cutting dryer, the large solids are separated out, and sent to Cement Plant or brickyard or used for construction industry. The separated fluids are pumped by screw pump to a high speed centrifuge for further process. Finally the clean mud can be re-used for drilling rig or re-used to make new mud.

Following is the ways can reuse the drilling waste.

l Recycling Muds

l Roadspreading

Sand control V.S. Solids control equipments

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.
