Drilling mud is a very important part of the drilling operation. The performance of the drilling mud plays a vital role in the drilling speed, drilling safety, and the output of the well after it is put into production. If the circulation of the drilling mud is lost during the drilling process, the drilling work cannot be carried out. Therefore, people often use “mud is the blood of drilling” to vividly compare the important position of drilling mud in oil & gas industries.
Mud circulation system in oil & gas industries is also called drilling solids control system. It is widely used in the oil drilling industry, gas drilling industry, horizontal directional drilling, etc. With mud circulation system, it is now to solve the damage and impact of traditional operation on the environment.
The role of mud circulation system in oil & gas industries:
- The mud circulation system in oil & gas is safe and convenient to operate, simple to maintain, and stable and reliable in operation.
- Realize mud recycling and greatly reduce the cost of waste slurry transportation.
- The recycled mud is very effective in reducing borehole accidents caused by unstable performance and ensure the smooth progress of the project.
- The mud is fully recovered and purified, which can effectively control the performance indicators of the mud and improve economic benefits.
The mud circulation system in oil & gas is configured according to the amount of mud to be processed, which is generally composed of a shale shaker, a desander, a desilter, a mud cleaner, a funnel, a pump, a tank, a dosing device, a stirrer, etc. The general process is that the drilling mud is processed by solids control equipment such as vibrating screen, de-sander, desilter, centrifuge, etc., and then sent back to drilling. If other ingredient is needed, then it is added to meet the requirements.
This has the advantage of recycling mud and reducing costs. The closed-circuit circulation method of the mud generates slag with lower moisture. So, the impact on the environment is greatly reduced.
Brightway designs and manufactures mud circulation system in oil & gas with different specifications that match different types of drilling rigs and equipment according to different geological conditions, customer requirements and other factors. It improves operation efficiency and save the cost of recovering mud effectively. After receiving the customer’s inquiry, Brightway will fully communicate with the customer on the on-site working conditions and provide customers with an integrated mud circulation plan according to their needs.
