Mud Solids Control Equipment

Centrifugal pumps are also called sand pumps, used widely in oil and gas drilling, to pump the drilling fluids to keep the mud recycling system or solids control equipments work well.

The Definition of Centrifugal Pumps

Machine for moving fluid by spinning it using a rotating impeller in a casing with a central inlet and a tangential outlet.

Centrifugal pump design

The overwhelming majority of contractor pumps use centrifugal force to move water. Centrifugal force is defined as the action that causes something, in this case drilling fluids, to move away from its center of rotation.

Drilling mud (drilling fluids) is used to Remove cuttings from well; Suspend and release cuttings; Control formation pressures; Seal permeable formations; Maintain wellbore stability; Minimizing formation damage; Cool, lubricate; and support the bit and drilling assembly; Transmit hydraulic energy to tools and bit; Ensure adequate formation evaluation; Control corrosion (in acceptable level); Facilitate cementing and completion.drilling fluids(drilling mud) is pumped from the surface through the hollow drill string, exits through nozzles in the drill bit, and returns to the surface through the annular space between the drill string and the walls of the hole.

The drill bit grinds rocks into drill cuttings, which are entrained in the mud flow and are carried out to the surface. And we separated the mud from the solids to make the mud return to the recirculating mud system. Continue reading “Oil Mud Separation”

How to use a vibrator of shale shaker, it contains two keys: disassembly of the bibrator of shale shaker, reassembly of shale shaker. And you need exactly remmber that disconnect power to the electric motor and lock the disconnect swithch in the open position.

Disassembly of the Vibrator of Shale Shaker
WARNING: Disconnect power to the electric motor and lock the disconnect swithch in the open position.

1. Remove motor and drive pulley guard.
2. Remove the counterweight guard from both ends of the vibrator shaft.
3. Loosen the four motor support bolts located under the motor, loosen the V-belts and remove them.
4. Remove the V-belt sheave , by first loosening its taper lock hub.
5. Remove the counterweights , by removing the clamp screws and reusing the screw to open the slots in the counterweights, by tightening the screws into the tapped holes.
6. Remove the collars  and the retainers  with the Spiro lox rings  in their grooves. Remove cartridge cap screws.
7. Remove retaining ring  from the drive side only. By striking on one end of the shaft  with a lead hammer or a hammer and a block of hardwood, it is possible to start to drive out the cartridge  on the other side.
8. Then it should be easy to pry either or both cartridges loose from their bores in the housing ends. If difficulty is experienced a cartridge can be bumped from the inside by striking the shaft again at the other end. When one cartridge is removed the shaft can be slipped from the housing.

Today,we received a client inquiry for Fluids System Inc. shale shaker screen panel.
GN solids control adopted particular screen production techniques and material of SS304 or SS316, we can produce shaker screens of replacement for world famous brand, and design and manufacture various sizes screens according to

the customer’s requirements.

Fludis System shaker screen specifications

Recently we produce some shaker screens for replacement of Fluid Systems Series 500 and 5000 shakers. Dimension:42”x29”, Material: SS304, Frame material: Iron.

Fluids System shaker screen Processing technology
MFX Series screens are general duty screen panels. This series of screens utilize tensile bolting cloth and are available in mesh sizes from 6 to 400. As with all Fluid Systems, Inc. O.E.M. screen panels, each screen is factory tensioned to eliminate improper tension in the field.
FMS series screens utilize the same cloth as MF screens with the addition of a perforated support plate and are available in mesh sizes from 10 to 400.The support plate offers extra support for heavy loading and reparability of damaged or worn sections of the screen panel. As with all Fluid Systems,Inc. O.E.M. screen panels, each screen is factory tensioned to eliminate improper tensioning in the field.

Desander and desilter hydrociclones are device to separate particles from drilling fluid, which is sorted by shale shaker in the first phase of solids control system. You can see in the first picture.

Usage of hydrocyclone

A hydrocyclone is often used to separate drilling cuttings from drilling mud originating at a desander desilter or some other continuous source of pressurized liquid. A hydrocyclone is most likely to be th

e right choice for processes where “lights” (drilling fluids, e.g.) are the greater part of the mixture and where the “heavies” (drilling cuttings e.g.) settle fairly easily.

Oil and natural gas corp. today declared the finding of three oil and gas this month, it has approved that they would invest Rs 3241 crore in developing Cluster-7 marginal fields in the western offshore.

ONGC said it discovered gas in a well drilled in East Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh. Oil and gas in a separate well in shallow waters off the Andhra coast.

Besides oil was discovered in Gujarat block, a company press statement.But ONGC did not give estimation of it.

To invest the discovered oil, the company board approved a capital expenditure of Rs 3241.03 in the first phase of development.

In the first phase, they plan to install four new fixed well platforms and drilling of 20 development wells from which the cumulative production of oil and gas for 16 years. And the production is expected to be 9.73 million tons and 4.52 billion cubic meters.

In their plan, the project is completed in 35 months later, and the first oil is expected in March,2010.

GN solids control, as an leader of the oil and gas associated industries, is very exciting to hear this, as the price of oil and gas is rising all the time, more exploitation is really needed.

As we all know, the urgent demand of oil and gas inspire the exploitation and drilling and also the solids control etc. In GN solids control, we only produce top quality products, and we really welcome the customers all over the world which needs solids control.
