Application of GN Cuttings Dryer in Oil-based Drill Drying Treatment Process

It is well known that oil-based mud is often used for drilling in shale gas drilling projects. The properties of the oil-based mud also determine that the oil-based drill cuttings are often much more difficult to handle than water-based cuttings and the cost is much higher. At this time, customers often choose to focus on oil-based drill cuttings.

Here we briefly introduce the application of the GN cuttings dryer to oil-based drill cuttings.

 

In the first step, the drill cuttings processed by solid-phase control equipment such as drilling fluid vibrating screens, de-sanders, and drilling fluid desilters are discharged into the cuttings box for unified collection during the drilling process, and the rock is lifted by a lift-swiveling forklift. Chip boxes loaded into the transport truck.

 

In the second step, according to the preset commuting route, the trucks will use the forklift trucks placed in trucks and transport them to the oil-based drill cuttings drying treatment plant.

 

In the third step, the oil-based drill cuttings are lifted and lifted by a rotary forklift to raise the cuttings box to the elevated funnel to dump the cuttings. The cuttings enter the elevated funnel and flow to the screw conveyor track, which can be adjusted by spirals. The conveyor controls the flow of cuttings and sends the cuttings evenly into the drill cuttings dryer. After the first treatment, the liquid phase is recovered by the liquid collection tank and stored in a primary treatment liquid collection tank.

 

In the fourth step, the solid waste is transported to the debris box through the screw conveyor at the bottom of the dryer for subsequent processing. The liquid phase after primary treatment is pumped into the high-speed mud centrifuge for secondary treatment via the screw pump on the collection tank, and the waste discharged from the mud outlet is collected in the cuttings box for treatment, and the liquid discharged from the discharge pipe of the centrifuge is discharged. The phase is a clean, recyclable white oil that is stored in a secondary treatment liquid collection tank.

 

Finally, the solid phases discharged from the spin dryer and the centrifuge are all stored in special debris boxes. After being collectively collected, they are loaded into trucks by lifting and rotating forklift trucks and transported by trucks to incineration plants, brick factories, cement plants, etc. Waste-producing manufacturers perform the final waste utilization or detoxification treatment.

Application of Centrifuge for Barite Recovery and Relationship between Parameters

The test data collected by the barite recovery system produced by our company shows that:

  1. Barite recycling centrifuge: The rotation speed is about 1800RPM, the “G” value is about 700, the low density separation point: 6 ~ 10μm, and the high density separation point: 4 ~ 10μm.

 

  1. Large-capacity centrifuge: The rotation speed is about 1900-2200 RPM, the “G” value is about 800, and the low-density separation point is 5-7 μm (not in the drilling fluid), which is used to exclude the low-density solid phase;

 

  1. High-speed centrifuge: The rotation speed is about 2500~3300 RPM, and the “G” value is about 1200~2100. The low-density separation point: 2~5μm is mainly used to remove the low-density content in the un-weighted drilling fluid.

The influence of various parameters of the centrifuge on the operation of the barite recovery system:

  1. Main engine rotation speed V: It is mainly used to control the size of the particle size of the separated particles. The higher the rotation speed, the smaller the particle size can be separated.

 

  1. Auxiliary machine (drum) speed V2: mainly used to control the pushing speed, the higher the speed, when the host speed is constant, due to the difference in speed [X = (V1-V2) / differential speed ratio] reduced ( V1: differential shaft input shaft speed), pushing material speed is reduced, at the same time, due to the reduction of pushing material speed, small particle size particles have settling time, which makes the proportion of small-size particles discharged out of the solid phase increase;

 

  1. Liquid supply volume: The amount of liquid supplied by the system determines the speed of the mud cleaning system to treat the drilling fluid, and it also affects the effect of barite recovery: the greater the amount of liquid supplied, the greater the amount of drilling fluid to be treated. The amount of barite that needs to settle during the time increases. When the sedimentation amount exceeds the system discharge amount, a part of the barite does not have enough time to settle, and the liquid phase separated by the centrifuge carries out the centrifuge system, thereby reducing the barite recovery rate. At the same time, as the amount of liquid supplied is increased, more barite is recovered, which may cause system operation failures, in particular, the increase of solid adherence on the screw feeder of the centrifuge, resulting in the balance of the centrifuge drum. Not enough but strong vibration and stuck.

 

  1. Meniscus: mainly controls the sediment thickness (liquid pool depth) in the drum of the mud centrifuge and the water content of the solids discharged, and affects the particle size: when the meniscus is completely removed (the height is lowest) The grit thickness (liquid pool depth) is the shallowest, the water content of the solids discharged is the lowest, and the content of small-size particles is the least, but at the same time the pushing load is increased. When the height of the meniscus is the highest, the thickness of the grit sand (the depth of the liquid pool) is the deepest, the water content of the solids discharged is the largest, the content of the small-size particles is the highest, and the pushing load is reduced. Therefore, the depth of the liquid pool must be properly adjusted when the treated drilling fluid contains a large amount of liquid and has a high viscosity.

Treatment of centrifuge drum plugging failure

GN GNLW series of mud centrifuges, also known as horizontal spiral discharge sedimentation centrifuge, mud centrifuge, is aiming at the characteristics of drilling mud, mud slurry recovery system designed for solid-liquid separation dedicated solid control equipment for oil and gas drilling mud , Sludge dewatering, particle size grading, food protein, starch, kaolin, natural gas desulfurization sludge, waste oil purification and other industries. The removal of fine solids, the reduction of solid content in the solid-liquid mixture, the control of drilling mud density, viscosity, ensuring drilling fluid performance and rapid drilling are all important.

Drilling mud centrifuge

Clogging a reason: centrifuge work process, due to the pump flow is too large, or suddenly increased suction density of the mud, causing the auxiliary motor trip, resulting in centrifuge blockage.

 

Blockage two reasons: Centrifuge shutdown, did not follow the rules carefully, there is no flushing, or flushing is not clean, resulting in centrifuge blockage.

 

If you start the auxiliary motor, if the differential, the drum followed by auxiliary motor rotation, and faster and faster, indicating that the material between the drum and the auger rinse is not complete or even blocked, can’t start the main motor, in this way Centrifuge to overcome blockage; material should be cleaned between drum and auger.

 

The specific method is: remove the shield, stuck with a pipe clamp Auxiliary motor coupling, to both positive and negative force, not to be brute force to prevent the differential ruined. Can also be injected into the slurry into the pipe, for 12 hours soaking, to help turn the motor coupling.

 

Open the collection box to clean up:

 

Per three days, the collection box should be opened for inspection and cleaning. The wear-resistant sleeve, scraper and end scraper on the slag outlet of the mainframe are both fragile and should be used with special care.

Chemical choose and control for sludge waste management solidification unit

Solidification unit is a kind of equipment used for final treatment of drilling cuttings.some time it was called stabilization unit,With the strict environmental protection regulations issued, most rig site has to consider further treat of the drilling cuttings to reduce the waste discharge and recover drilling fluids as much as possible. To make work environment friendly,The further treated drilling cuttings, due to containing of chemicals, cannot be discharged directly.

 

Normally,the solidifify will need Cement and lime,some special sludge will add chemical like PAM/blinding material/resin,to keep better solid work,and control harmful metal of drill cutting

Based on different sludge’s solidify time with chemical,GN add VFD adjustable motor for sludge/lime/absorber feeding conveyor ,for easier control solidification unit working progress

Treated material will become solid with in10~15 minutes after discharged from unit,the time can be control follow different sludge and chemical

 

Most important point for using solidification is clean it before push stop,the solids part will stick at internal surface of mixing tank,it will damage the screw and effect further running

 

Some area moisture degree is too high,we advice make sure lime tank dry enough when running,or it may meet stick things too and effect feeding

 

GN choose high quality motor for conveyor for longer system service life,for better arrange waste manage plan

Balance for decanter centrifuge

GN design decanter centrifuge for oil&gas drilling fluid solids control,also can use for water well drilling mud recycling,and we have success experience for HDD drilling,some mining slurry and river water recycling have need of centrifuge

When centrifuge working,the bowl speed will be very high,max speed will be around 3000RPM,if the centrifuge not at stable plant,the whole machine will shake,and tube and motor will be damaged by this speed,and keep balance for screw and main bowl,is very important

GN have protect design to keep centrifuge avoid complete damage for some time,but most time ,bowl speed too high,damage will still happen,even the centrifuge stop,prepare is always better

The electric current will raise when centrifuge not stable,the motor will request more power to keep bowl speed,if centrifuge working at this state for long time,the life of motor and control system will reduce a lot,and power waste will raise,we have met this before,and advice make check list,and do maintenance to save money for future fix cost

Before fluid feeding to centrifuge,we advice try keep the size of solids average enough,this also can help centrifuge running stable,and make better separation work

The user can build plant to fix centrifuge,this is good way to keep centrifuge work stable,and keep solids control work well

 

Hope every user get good separation by GN centrifuge,more info,please contact GN solids control
