Drilling mud Equipment

Shale drilling is becoming more and more popular, not only the reserves, the rising oil & gas price is also pushing us to do something. The Financial Times reports that as more big-name oil companies such as India’s GAIL Ltd, BP Plc, Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. invest in U.S. shale plays, the more the cost of drilling rights spikes.
In the Eagle Ford shale in Texas, drilling rights costs increased from around $4,000 an acre in 2010 to around $20,000 an acre at the end of 2011, according to IHS, the Financial Times reports.

And not only in USA, the shale drilling is becoming more and more popular. In the past week, China approved shale gas as an independent mining resource, a legal status that it hopes will encourage smaller Chinese energy firms to develop the unconventional energy source.

And in Poland, which holds the most active and best areas geologically for shale in Europe, where governments want to diversify their natural-gas supplies away from Russia, is another promising play.

As always, the technology used to extract oil and gas from shale rocks, a process that has revolutionized the U.S. energy industry, should be improved to protect the environment.
That is why we need tanks, solids control systems, and so on, if you are involved, contact GN.

A client inquiry us for providing them a  GN Mud cleaner for  MI Swaco 2-12/6T4 Mud Cleaner replacement

GN Mud Cleaner

• Environmentally Efficient – The 2-12/6T4 MUD CLEANER provides efficient removal of sand and silt particles larger than 20 microns, and some as small as 15 microns. Removing and drying drilled solids helps meet environmental regulations by minimizing waste generated and reducing disposal cost.
• High Performance – Processing capacity of 1,000 gpm with the 2-12 D-SANDER and 900 gpm with the 6T4 D-SILTER concentrates solids onto a classification shaker
• Versatile – The MUD CLEANER can be operated with the 2-12 D-SANDER, 6T4 D-SILTER or both to process weighted or unweighted fluid systems.
• Extends Equipment Life – The 2-12/6T4 MUD CLEANER helps minimize maintenance, repair and replacement of downstream equipment.
• Reduces Operating Cost – The 2-12/6T4 MUD CLEANER reduces sand and silt-size particles and saves liquid, thus reducing mud cost, chances of stuck pipe and lost circulation and improving rate of penetration.
• Reduces Disposal Cost – The 2-12/6T4 MUD CLEANER minimizes waste generated thus reducing disposal cost.

ZQJ250×100B Mud Cleaner

ZQJ250×100B Mud Cleaner is a combination of ZS83×108-2 Shale Shaker and ZQJ250×2B Desander, and ZQJ250×10B Desilter. Specs as below:

GN design and manufacture Variable high speed decanter centrifuge for oilfield drilling fluids,and other decanting centrifuge for drilling mud separation.

high speed decanter centrifuge

1．General information Variable high speed decanter centrifuge
With the improvement of petroleum drilling technology and environmental protection awareness, higher requirements are put forward to the petroleum drilling solid-control system, mainly embodies in the following three aspects:
a)    Oil gas exploration developer wish to use more clean mud drilling to protect the oil gas layer so as to achieve higher oil gas production.
b)    The using of turbo screw drilling technology put forward higher requirements on the mud cleanness.
c)     More attention will be paid to the disused mud treatment, while treat the disused mud is mainly to separate solid phase from liquid phase as much as possible.
Medium speed centrifuge can separate solid phase granule with the diameter of 5~7μm in low-viscosity mud, as to the thinner granule and high-viscosity drilling mud or the granule in oil based mud, it can not separate them well. So, medium speed centrifuge can hardly meet the new requirements of solid-control system, deploying high speed centrifuge is the development trend in future.

GN Variable high speed decanter centrifuge  produced by our company can better meet the above requirements.
