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

drilling cutting management

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.

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

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.

Generally speaking, decanter centrifuge plays a role in separating solids from liquids. Alfa Laval decanter centrifuge is one of the best sold centrifuges in the world, especially in South America. The other brands in South America market including Derrick, MI-Swaco, NOV, Derrick, GN, etc. GN solids control is new brand player in the market, but fast developing.

decanter centrifuge to Ecuador

How a decanter centrifuge works

A decanter centrifuge separates solids from one or two liquid phases in one single continuous process. This is done using centrifugal forces that can be well beyond 3000 times greater than gravity.

When subject to such forces, the denser solid particles are pressed outwards against the rotating bowl wall, while the less dense liquid phase forms a concentric inner layer. Different dam plates are used to vary the depth of the liquid – the so-called pond – as required.

The sediment formed by the solid particles is continuously removed by the screw conveyor, which rotates at a different speed than the bowl. As a result, the solids are gradually “ploughed” out of the pond and up the conical “beach”.

The centrifugal force compacts the solids and expels the surplus liquid. The dried solids then discharge from the bowl. The clarified liquid phase or phases overflow the dam plates situated at the opposite end of the bowl. Baffles within the centrifuge casing direct the separated phases into the correct flow path and prevent any risk of cross-contamination. The speed of the screw conveyor may be automatically adjusted by use of the variable frequency drive (VFD) in order to adjust to variation in the solids load.

Welcome to contact GN solids control if you are interested to apply for our distributors in Venezuela. GN solids control is a young but fast developing company and we are solids control specialist in China. We have exported many sets of drilling mud cleaning and recycling system to South American regions, for example, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Ecuador, etc.

solids control system in Venezuela

Perhaps the most important thing to know about Venezuela is that it is an oil exporting country, the fifth largest in the world, with the largest reserves of conventional oil (light and heavy crude) in the western hemisphere and the largest reserves of non-conventional oil (extra-heavy crude) in the world.

GN manufacture complete line solids control equipments for the drilling rig( shale shaker, desander, desilter, mud cleaner, vacuum degasser, decanting centrifuge, mud pump, poor boy degasser, mud gun, mud agitator, mud mixer,mud tank), and we can provide a complete solution on drilling waste management( high G dryer, decanter centrifuge, screw pump, vertical cutting dryer, mud tank, etc). As government policy is more and more strict on environment related on drilling, our equipments are more and more important recently.

All of the foregoing sets the stage for showing just how extremely important the country’s conflict over oil is. At the most overt level, the conflict between the Chávez government and the oil industry is one about who controls PDVSA. Beyond that, the specific issues that control is being fought over have to do with the company’s efficiency, its internationalization program, its outsourcing and subcontracting practices, OPEC membership, and special oil contracts.

PDVSA, State owned company in Venezuela

PDVSA has a production capacity, including the strategic associations and operating agreements, of 4 million barrels per day (600,000 m³). Officials say production is around 3.3 million barrels per day (520,000 m³/d) although most secondary sources such as OPEC and the EIA put Venezuela’s output at least 500,000 barrels per day (79,000 m³/d) lower.

GN solids control exported several sets of drilling mud system to Amazon region, including Ecuador. We can produce the complete drilling mud separation system, including shale shaker, vacuum degasser, desander, desilter, decanter centrifuge, vertical cutting dryer, mud tank, etc.

 Ecuador produces more oil than it needs for domestic consumption and thus it is one of the country’s leading exports. Therefore, any new drilling for oil is not intended to meet local demand but is intended for export overseas, most likely to Japan and the United States.

drilling mud separation system

Drilling mud is used to control subsurface pressures, lubricate the drill bit, stabilize the well bore, and carry the cuttings to the surface, among other functions. 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.

Drilling mud separation system

As the drill bit grinds rocks into drill cuttings, these cuttings become entrained in the mud flow and are carried to the surface. In order to return the mud to the recirculating mud system and to make the solids easier to handle, the solids must be separated from the mud. The first step in separating the cuttings from the mud involves circulating the mixture of mud and cuttings over shale shakers.

The liquid mud passes through the screens and is recirculated back to the mud tanks from which mud is withdrawn for pumping downhole.

GN provides air-operated double-diaphragm pumps and accessories. Now we have inquiry for Air compressor driving the diaphragm pump. Welcome air compressor manufacturer to contact us for cooperation.

What is Air Diaphram pump?

diaphram pump

An Air Diaphram pump is a positive displacement pump that uses a combination of the reciprocating action of a rubber, thermoplastic or teflon diaphragm and suitable non-return check valves to pump a fluid. Sometimes this type of pump is also called a membrane pump.

Air Diaphram pump features:

• have good suction lift characteristics, some are low pressure pumps with low flow rates; others are capable of higher flows rates, dependent on the effective working diameter of the diaphragm and its stroke length. They can handle sludges and slurries with a relatively high amount of grit and solid content.
• suitable for discharge pressure up to 1,200 bar
• have good dry running characteristics.
• are low-shear pumps.
• can be used to make artificial hearts.
• are used to make air pumps for the filters on small fish tanks.
