Why is removing solids from drilling mud so important?

If you want to know why is removing solids from drilling mud so important, we can get more questions, but these questions help us to solve this question.

Firstly, we should know where is the solids from.

HA, when we drilling, the drilling mud take them out.

What is the mud’s function?

OK, so we get one more question, what the mud do in solids control system, i.e. what is the mud’s function. You can see How Drilling Mud Work In Solids Control System And Drilling Rig that I write before. I will list the main function again:

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

And then we can find the answer: We must get high quality drilling mud to ensure the drilling process.

COST of drilling mud and environment friendship

But why don’t we produce some new mud, here we go, I have the same question.

The answer is only one word—COST. The cost of produce new drilling mud is higher than this, it is just an economic choice.

Removing solids from drilling mud limit the cost and what’s more important, it’s good to the environment.

Oil and Gas Drilling, Summarize in 2009

Oil and Gas Drilling, Summarize in 2009 All Around the World

1.American Drilling Drops

American drilling drops, due to weak demand and lower prices. The price of oil and gas has fallen to two thirds of their summer 2008 levels. It’s unprofitable for many oil and gas producers. So many of them, cut back on oil and gas production also the investments.

2.Russian Drilling Increases

Oil prices in the second quarter amounted to over $ 60 a barrel. In response to growing international drilling company, Halliburton (HAL), Weatherford International (WFT) and Schlumberger NV(SLB). In particular, the company Halliburton (HAL) reported 27% growth in sales in Russia and a double-digit growth in Mexico, Norway and China.

3.Complex Africa

It helps that the area is geologically complex; with many quarries and offshore oil probably deep underground. Or that many countries have seen deposit wars and unrest. Somalia remains a non-go zone, Ethiopia and the Ogaden region in the east is a violent uprising against insurgents fighting. And during the civil war in Mozambique ended in 1992, it took time for them to fully recover.

Saliva Explorers mainly on prospects for peace in Somalia. Stocks in oil block licenses for two small oil companies, Africa and Oil Range Resources will hold 10 billion barrels. Nobody talks about oil production in Somalia in the near future, but analysts believe that oil companies may be less intimidated by the political risks that would be in the past.

They point to the oil production in southern Sudan, where the risk of a 20-year civil war ended in 2005, to be rekindled.  In any case, there is a feeling that is to discover,  said Aly Khan Satchu, a financial adviser who manages Rich management in Nairobi. The reality and the perception of risk can be reduced.

delivered to Melbourne Victoria Australia?

Now we are going to get into contract with Kuwait company for 10sets desander desilters without motors.

Desander Desilter Selection

Clients often asks us about desander and desilter selection,what model and how many cones should they use.Do they need to use shale shaker before the desander and desilter.

desander desilter shaker
desander desilter shaker

The desander and desilter selection depends on  particle size:
A,If you use 10″ desander before desilter,max particle size:47microns
B,If you do not use desander,but use shale shaker before desilter,you should use not less then 100mesh=149microns screen before desilter
C,For desander,you should use shaker,whose screen should be better not less then 40mesh=420microns
D,Suggesting Particle size rangle for 4″ desilter is from 15microns to 47 microns

Treating capacity of desander and desilter.

One ea Desilter cones 4″=15m³/h,one ea desander cones 10″=90m³/h Desander cones 11”=110m³/h.For small treating capacity,people may select single desander or desilter.For large treating capacity,it’s better to choose desander and desilter combination,also called mud cleaner,with linear motion shale shaker.

Welcome to contact GN Solids Control to learn more about desander and desilter.
