GN Solids Control already ship 3 sets HDD drilling mud system to one client in Middle East in the past two years. The clients give repeat purchase order as they are satisfied with the GN compact mud cleaning system for HDD project. For overseas HDD market, very few clients need centrifuge because of the higher cost, as well as the technical operations. However, the client was faced with more critical situation in one HDD site and need one set middle speed centrifuge to remove the fine solids from the drilling mud, to ensure the recycle mud can be reused effectively.

Not only for drilling application( oil & gas drilling, HDD, geothermal, CBM, water well drilling), GN equipments can be also used for mining slurry separation, dredging slurry management, piling and tunneling.

Dredging and Dewatering equipments

GN dredging and dewatering equipments are designed to feed slurry directly from the dredge. GN dredging slurry separation system separates solids from dredging slurry through a three phase system.

In addition, the solids that are removed are dewatered to a stackable “press filter” state, which can be readily moved with front end loader, conveyor and/or dump trucks. The effluent is pumped off by a centrifugal pump.

The separation process is continuous and operates completely mechanically without any chemical enhancement. The dredging slurry separation system is designed as a three phase separation system, 1^st separation is shale shaker, 2^nd separation is desander, 3^rd separation is desilter. Sometimes as the client’s requirement, we only design 2 phase shale shaker and desander. The desander and desilter are made into separate mud cleaner with large screen area.

The mud cleaning system produced by GN solids control is widely used for horizontal directional drilling , water welling drilling ,coal bed methane, geothermal hole and mining diamond core drilling , it is used to separate the drill cuttings from the mud, so that the clean mud can be re-circulated to continue the drilling process.

As the Geothermal drilling usually close or inside the downtown, this requires the mud system to be compact with less footprint and user friendly with less noisy. Also Geothermal well drilling sometimes require high capacity performance for deep wells. Below is the jobsite photo of mud cleaning system for geothermal drilling, which is produced and commissioning by GN solids control.              

Geothermal mud cleaning system

Like water well drilling, mud rotary drilling is also the desired method for installing geothermal loops. As the bit penetrates the soil, it creates smaller fragmented pieces that are called drill cuttings. The mud carries these cuttings to surface to create an open hole from the top down to the bottom. The drill cuttings are collected into a mud pan or settling pit on surface and then the mud is re-circulated to continue the drilling process.

Directional drilling (DD) is seen as a marriage of conventional road boring and the directional drilling of oil wells.

It is also known as directional boring, horizontal drilling, slant drilling, or deviated drilling, is a method of trenchless technology that involves drilling a non-vertical well or borehole. It can be broken down into three main groups: Oilfield Directional Drilling, Utility Installation Directional Drilling (or H.D.D. or Horizontal Directional Drilling) Directional boring, and in-seam directional drilling to extract coal bed methane.

directional drilling machine

Many directional boring machines also use a drilling fluid or slurry called mud. Other machines use foam or air, or both. The drilling fluid or mud is composed of bentonite clay and water with additives for enhancing performance. The higher-pressure jet of fluid is used in soft ground to cut through the soil. The cuttings then get suspended in the fluid. As more fluid is pumped down into the hole, the cuttings are brought back up to surface where they settle in a pit or are removed mechanically.
GN solids control equipments are used to handle the drilling mud with cuttings, to separate the big cutting out of the drilling fluids, so that the mud can be used for drilling again.

For oilfield directional drilling, we provide a complete solids control system, including 4-class cleaning of mud, shale shaker – desander – desilter – centrifuge, sometimes vacuum degasser is applied.

GN solids control will ship a complete directional boring mud recycling system to Brazil for application. The directional boring equipments we produce including HDD mud system, shale shaker, mini mud cleaner, desander, mixing pump, jet mud mixer, etc.

directional boring mud system

Directional boring, commonly called horizontal directional drilling or HDD, is a method of installing underground pipes and conduits along a prescribed bore path from the surface, with minimal impact to the surrounding area.

GN direction boring equipments application

The process is used for installing telecommunications & power cable conduits, water lines, sewer lines, gas lines, oil lines, product pipelines and environmental remediation casings. It is used for crossing waterways, roadways, shore approaches, congested areas, environmentally sensitive areas and any area where other methods are more expensive.

They have been used in Australia, Indonesia, Brazil, France, Singapore, application including HDD, diamond drilling, water well drilling. Our directional boring equipments have been showed in Australia no-dig show, and it is approved by many HDD operators. We will take another set of HDD mud cleaning system in CIPPE ( world’s largest oil show) held in Beijing, if you want to check its performance, pls visit us in CIPPE.
