Solids control equipment affect

The solids control will separate unuseful drilling cuttings and other solid among drilling fluid. It will correct drilling mud property and keep the drilling fluid performance well. Solids control effect to well drilling also includes hold proper gravity, density, weight, etc. Good solids control to well drilling will let’s have good quality drilling fluid during whole well drilling. The good drilling fluid will affect well drilling much. Use good drilling fluid, the well drilling will be fast and efficient, the drilling cost will be less than those bad solids control well drilling. During whole drilling fluid system, we’ll get good and safe drilling condition decrease even prevent blow out danger. So nowadays we take solids control is rather essential part for oil and gas well drilling, geothermal well drilling, CSM exploration, etc. Solids control equipment affect 1. Shale shaker will filter particles larger than 76 microns approximately, the hydrocyclone separators or mud cleaner will get rid of solids larger than 15 microns or the range is 15~76. Another issue is the bottom shaker screen mesh with 1st stage shale shaker. 2. The decanter centrifuge can process weighted and unweighted drilling fluid. Make drilling fluid cleaner for next drilling mud circulation. 3. The mud agitator, actually, is assistant equipment. It will keep necessary solid suspend among drilling mud, which makes drilling fluid even weight, density and viscosity. The vacuum degasser also similar with mud agitator, it is much larger than agitator also can get rid of small quantity invaded gas. 4.The mud mixing pump is another kind of equipment to mix or compound drilling fluid. It provides sufficient good property drilling mud ensure drilling fluid recalculate successfully. Above are main solids control equipments and their effects. Others equipments will be described in other articles. We are rather familiar with oil and gas drilling fluid solids control system. Furthermore, solids control has rather wide range applications , such as HDD Mud recycling, the water well drilling, Geothermal well drilling, piling project, tunneling or pipe construction, the CSM exploration, mining industry, slurry separation, etc. But, different industries will have differential name to it. Maybe it is the drilling mud process unit, the drilling fluid purification system, drilling fluid circulation, sludge/dredged slurry separation system, etc.
