Mud guns are meant to provide supplemental or primary mixing in mud tanks depending on the number being used and the pit size. They are best used in tank corners to keep solids from settling and a mud agitator is placed in the tank center.
 Mud Gun How to operate the mud gun?
A. Safty information
TURN OFF. LOCK OUT, and TAG OUT the electrical power supply to the pumps feeding the mud guns before servicing.
Inspect the unit regularly, and replace damaged or worn components only with parts supplied by the original equipment manufacturer.
Before entering a mud tank for any reason, the mud agitators should be locked out and tagged out.
B. General maintenance
1. Grease the swivel once a week. Add (2) shots of a multipurpose NLGI no 2 grease.
2. Visually inspect the mud gun assembly for any leaks, loose fittings once a week. Repair as required.
3. Inspect mud gun jet nozzle for excessive wear. The nozzle has a 5/8” bore when new. The nozzle should be changed when the bore is 7/8” or higher. This should be done once a month.
Once installation is complete, the unit can be started by turning the feed pump on. The direction of discharge may be modified to suit the operators requirements by rotating the swivel.

Drilling engineering is a subset of petroleum engineering. Drilling engineers design and implement procedures to drill wells as safely and economically as possible.
 solids control Exploration and petroleum engineering are the oil and gas industry’s two main sections. Petroleum engineering is a field of engineering related to the production of crude oil or natural gas.
Drilling engineers are in charge of the process of planning and drilling the wells. Their responsibilities include:
- Designing well programs to prevent blowouts
- Designing casing strings and cementing plans, directional drilling plans, drilling fluids programs, and drill string and drill bit programs.
- Specifying equipment, material and ratings and grades to be used in the drilling process.
- Providing technical support and audit during the drilling process.
- Performing cost estimates and analysis.
- Developing contracts with vendors.
Solids Control is one of the most important phases of the drilling process. The primary reason for using mechanical solids control equipment is to remove detrimental drilled solids from the mud system. Mechanical separation of drilled solids is achieved via screen separation(shale shaker, mud cleaner, desander, desilter) or accelerated g-force（decanter centrifuge）. Continue reading »

The Drill cuttings Management solution is designed to help maximize compliance with the waste management hierarchy principles, as well as ensuring that local regulations and standards are complied with. Ultimately, disposal will be required in all cases, be it solids and / or liquids.
 drill cutting management solution Drill cuttings management solution usually including but not limit to:
1 collection of drill cuttings
There are various ways to collect the drill cuttings from the solids control system( shale shaker, mud cleaner, decanter centrifuge). Firstly you need a cuttings blowing pump to blow the drill cuttings and waste produced by centrifuge from a collection place in the site to a drill waste storage tank or directly to a transferred truck or boat, they called it ”bulk tank”. Then Screw conveyors are used to transport drill cuttings and centrifuge waste from one location on the rig to another, probably to a vertical cutting dryer in the drilling waste management system.
2 Storage of drill cuttings
A Drilling Waste Container is to storage drill cutting, centrifuge waste and pit cleaning wastes generated during drilling operations. The drilling waste containers are typically transported to a treatment and disposal site for further processing.
After the drilling waste is treated by vertical cutting dryer, the cuttings will be collected by a small waste container and be transported to other place, the fluids are pumped to high speed decanter centrifuge for further process.

Workover is used to refer to any kind of oil well intervention involving invasive techniques, such as wireline, coiled tubing or snubbing. More specifically though, it will refer to the expensive process of pulling and replacing a completion.
 workover parts Workover Rig is available for both onshore as well as offshore. Before any workover, the well must first be killed. Since workovers are long planned in advance, there would be much time to plan the well kill and so the reverse circulation would be common. The intense nature of this operation often requires no less than the capabilities of a drilling rig.
Workover parts may include the following parts basically:
Workover rig, Manifold, triplex mud pump, mud system, BOP, Top drives, Blow out preventers.
Workover mud system:
GN solids control produced workover mud system for 250HP, 350HP, 450HP, 550HP, 650HP,750HP workover rigs. They have been applied in more than 60 countries in the world. Some clients may get the mud system from rig package supplier. But a much sane choice is to buy the mud system separately from solid scontrol Continue reading »

Dredgingis an excavation activity or operation usually carried out at least partly underwater, in shallow seas or fresh water areas with the purpose of gathering up bottom sediments and disposing of them at a different location.
 dredging Slurry Separation System A dredge is a device for scraping or sucking the seabed, used for dredging. A dredger is a ship or boat equipped with a dredge.
The process of dredging creates spoils (excess material), which are carried away from the dredged area. Dredging can produce materials for land reclamation or other purposes (usually construction-related).
As mentioned above, dredging will creates excess material, for example. Stones, sand, masses,cuttings, etc, For the purpose of environment protection, we need to separate the real trash and get the usable material for construction-related industry. GN dredging slurry separation system(also called dredging dewatering system) will be a good unit for such application. GN standard 1000gpm DSS system has been widely used for dredging.in domestic and abroad. If you need a 2000gpm DSS system,we suggest you to buy 2 sets of 1000gpm unit, it is convenient to ship it by container and truck on the road.

GN new products hi-G dryer GNZS85-3 is designed to replace the old model hi-G dryer GNZS63-4. GN Hi-G dryer shaker is with long shaker deck big capacity which is used for waste management to treat the drilling cuttings from the primary solids control equipments, like shale shaker, desander, desilter to dry the solids for transportation, and make the fluids easier for future treatment. To know more info of primary solids control equipments, pls check GN website.
 GN hi-G dryer What is the features of GNZS853 compared with GNZS63-4?
1 Even it is 3 –panel hi-G dryer, its screen area is larger than 4-panel hi-G dryer. The larger the screen area is, the dryer the cutting is. Total deck screen length is 2550mm, the total deck screen length of GNZS63-4 is 2520mm. Total screen area of GNZS85-3 is 3.2m2, but the total screen area of GNZS63-4 is only 3.15m2. And GNZS85-3’s screen area and total deck length is larger than Derrick 4-panle shale shaker/mud cleaner.
So 4-panel shaker is not must be better than 3-panel shaker.
2 3-panel shaker screen can enlarge the effective screen area, the waste screen area is less compared with 4 screen panel. It can improve the performance of hi-G dryer.
3 Mechanical deck adjustable while operation for reliable performance.

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.
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.
