Natural gas drilling rigs can be used not only to identify geologic reservoirs but also to create holes that allow the extraction of natural gas from those reservoirs. Primarily in onshore gas fields once a well has been drilled, the drilling rig will be moved off of the well and a service rig (a smaller rig) that is purpose-built for completions will be moved on to the well to get the well on line. This frees up the drilling rig to drill another hole and streamlines the operation as well as allowing for specialization of certain services, i.e., completions vs. drilling.

Natural gas is a naturally occurring gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, typically with 0–20% higher hydrocarbons. It is found associated with other hydrocarbon fuel, in coal beds, as methane clathrates, and is an important fuel source and a major feedstock for fertilizers.
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, uses huge volumes of water, chemicals and sand injected into rock at high pressure to release natural gas. Its development has unleashed a natural gas boom in the US and around the world. US has developed such method to drill for natural gas.
GN solids control provide mud cleaning system for directional drilling and fracking for natural gas, we are thinking to design such mud system for US market. All the electric motors and control panels will use IECex certified or US motors.
To design a system, we need to clarify the following questions:
1 What kind of drilling you are doing？
2 What is your required active capacity of the mud pits？
3 What equipments you used before? If you have no experience, we will provide our standard design.

GN solids control design and manufacture a complete solids control system/drilling mud system for oil & gas drilling, now we need a mud cooling system in our design, to make it more user-friendly. Usually we call the mud cooling system as mud cooler.
Application of mud cooling system
 Scomi Oiltools Mud Cooling System
- Oil, Gas, Geothermal Drilling - cooling drilling fluids
- Oil and Gas Refineries – gas cooling/condensing
- Petro-Chemical – steam condensing
- Power Generation – fluid cooling
- Steel – waste water cooling
In Oil, Gas, Geothermal Drilling ,the Mud Cooling system is used to reduce the temperature of drilling fluid returned to the surface.
In HT / HP wells the temperature of the drilling fluid must be strictly controlled to keep it’s properties within the specified parameters for that particular well. If the temperature of the drilling fluid is allowed to increase then a variety of problems can occur such as high equivalent circulating density (ECD), formation breakdown, lost circulation, packing off, stuck pipe and evaporation of the oil and water phase.
Why use mud cooler?
1 crew safety
2 Reduction of mud temperature in return lines especially important in Oil based systems to be maintained below flash point.
3 reduction of mud temperature reduces the risk of fire, blowouts, and helps provide safer drilling operation/ environment.

Mud rotary drilling is popular in wellbore drilling, offshore works, well drilling, Horizontal directly drilling, mining, geotechnical. Drilling fluid system is one very important part of the drilling work. The two main parts of the drilling fluid system is the actual drilling fluid and the solids control equipments, to separate the cuttings from the drilling mud at the surface, and circulating water based drilling fluid.
 
As we all know the quality and charactor of the drilling fluid effects the drilling works. The viscosity, density, fluid loss control, sand content, gel strength, and so on. The drilling fluid system is used to control them.
If not use the drilling fluid system correctly, effiently, there must be some trouble. High fluid density causes pressure in the formation of the borehole. This pressure drives the drilling fluid through the filter cake into the formation, leads to excessive drilling fluid loss to the formation, and extends well development time required to remove the mud from the formation. As the fluid density increases, the pressure required to move the fluid up the borehole also increases, leading to high mud pump pressure requirements. Continue reading »

Work over drilling rig mud system is also one kind of solids control system in drilling work. And GN Solids Control is professional at this kind of mud system. After 2 mud tank systems for workover drilling rig to Indonesia, and Drilling mud system and mud mixing system for Australia, today Another 2 Sets XJ550 HP Petroleum Workover Drilling rig solids control mud system are finished within 40 days ready for delivery to Kazakhstan.
 The workover rig mud system is usually contains shale shaker, decanter centrifuge, and mud tank. The desander and desilter is optional, it depends on the environment you faced.
As you may have noticed, we have send the work over rig mud system to two different place, Indonesia and Kazakhstan. South, North,and Middle of the earth, hot and cold. GN Solids Control can supply all the equipments customized, wherever you are, Indonesia or Kazakhstan, south or north of the earth,or you are in the coldest area or hottest area, you need, and GN do it, what’s more, do it perfect!
