Last week we exported a mud mixing plant to Spain. Every year we design and manufactured hundreds of mud mixing plant for international clients, especially for developed countries, like UK, Australia, USA, New Zealand, Singapore, etc.

mud mixing plant to Spain

The mud mixing plant is with mud hopper, slurry pump, mud agitator, mud tank, control system, and the painting color can be customized. The mud tank dimension is designed by the active capacity clients required. And we should consider the container shipment when design, freight charge is one of the factor clients may care.

Except for skid-mounted mud mixing plant, we can also make it portable mud mixing plant, and connected with truck head for convenient transportation.

During shipment, we put mud hopper inside the tank by remove the Galvanized Steel Grating, and put the hand rail, stairs on top of the tank.

Enhance drilling rig efficiency and improve fluid performance

Effectively removing solids from returned drilling fluid is vital to your drilling rig’s performance and, ultimately, the ability to achieve your drilling objectives. Having the right equipment to handle these solids is critical, if you want to enhance drilling rig efficiency and improve fluid performance.

2 Solids Control Services (SCS), specialises in the supply of high quality decanter-centrifuge based systems and associated contracting services, applicable to a broad spectrum of solids control and separation applications on a worldwide basis.

New and ever increasing environmental legislation increases the importance of employing efficient and reliable methods to meet waste reduction and minimisation targets.

Using SCS systems for the treatment of waste streams, whether from drilling operations or industrial processes, can render the constituents of those waste streams suitable for refuse, thereby reducing adverse environmental impact and the costs associated with waste disposal.

If you have over 30 years experience for drilling, you will know, what is real required and what is not for close loop mud system. Sometimes people just seek for unrealistic specifications, which did not mean good for the operation. GN solids control would like to share your new idea about the drilling solids control, and put your idea into realization. We have the ability to design as your layout, no matter  you choose us as the complete system manufacturer or not.

close loop mud system

Recently drilling has been changed a lot, the old experience did not work, people has their own new design. “Zero discharge mud systems” are urgently required because of the environment protection. Auger box, screw conveyor can be used to collect the drilling cuttings from shale shaker, desander, desilter, mud cleaner, dewatering unit and centrifuge, then transfer them to a catch pit for later processing. In some development company where the government did not have strict regulation on environment protection, they even do not use any mud system, and let the drilling fluids discharged directly. They may face big problem in the future.

Dewatering unit is required to work together with the system, it can make further process of the fluids after processed by centrifuge after the well is finished.

The mud tank is designed similar to 40 feet standard container, it is more convenient to transport in any countries in the world. All the lifting device, dimension, skid is same with container, and we put GN solids control equipments on top of it.

If you required Close Loop mud System for oil & gas drilling, pls contact GN solids control, our service including design, consultant, manufacture and shipment.

The mud tanks manufactured by GN solids control have been sold to more than 48 countries in the world, the application including oil & gas drilling solids control system, mud mixing system, mud storage, HDD mud recycling system, mining slurry separation system, etc.

Our mud tanks are including the following parts:

mud tank pipeline

Many clients asked us this question, how to revert API To Micron for Shaker screen mesh，even most of shaker screens manufactures in China do not have this knowledge. Some manufacturers use the API number as mesh directly, this will be incorrect, if clients do not have professional knowledge, they will use the wrong mesh screens and can not get the ideal result.

Here we will introduce how to revert API To Micron for Shaker screen.

API shaker screen

This is a chart to show how to convert mesh to microns, to know how to convert microns( D100 separation), then to know how to convert mesh to API, or API to mesh, pls contact GN solids control.

We can produce replacement shaker screens for Derrick 500, Derrick 48-30, Kem-tron KTL48, Swaco Mongoose, Brandt King Cobra shaker screens.

Oil Well Choke & Kill Manifold are a kind of well-control equipments, GN solids control do not produce such equipments, our products range including a complete set of solids control equipments and mud tanks.

An arrangement of piping or valves designed to control, distribute and often monitor fluid flow. Manifolds are often configured for specific functions, such as a choke manifold used in well-control operations and a squeeze manifold used in squeeze-cementing work. In each case, the functional requirements of the operation have been addressed in the configuration of the manifold and the degree of control and instrumentation required.

Chock Manifold

choke manifold

Oil well choke manifold is high-pressure pipe leading from an outlet on the BOP stack to the backpressure choke and associated manifold. During well-control operations, the fluid under pressure in the wellbore flows out of the well through the choke line to the choke, reducing the fluid pressure to atmospheric pressure. In floating offshore operations, the choke and kill lines exit the subsea BOP stack and then run along the outside of the drilling riser to the surface.

A choke manifold is used to lower the pressure from the well head. It consists of a set of high pressure valves and at least two chokes. These chokes can be fixed or adjustable or a mix of both. The redundancy is needed so that if one choke has to be taken out of service, the flow can be directed through another one. these long choke and kill lines must be considered to control the well properly.
