How Overflow Line Works in a Solids Control System

Generally a solids control system will have all the 4 stages separation equipment for drilling cuttings and fluids. However, not all the equipment would have to be used when drilling. Hence, it will be better to design an overflow line for the drilling fluids on the mud tank to let the drilling fluids could flow bypass the equipment will not be used in some specific process.
In generally condition, the overflow line is designed as a U type slot on one side of the mud tank top. It is starting from the sand trap compartment of the mud tank to at least the suction tank where the high pressure mud pump could suck the active drilling fluids and transfer to the rig. As per customers’ requirements, this overflow line could extend to the drilling fluids mixing tank and storage tank.

solids control system on site layout

Shale shaker, de-sander, de-silter and decanter centrifuge are seen as the 4 stages of solids control equipment which can finally separate out the cuttings with size down to 2-5 microns. In some solids control system, there will also have vacuum degasser located between the shale shaker and cyclone units. This degasser is used to remove the entrapped gas in the drilling fluids like CO2. However, this degasser unit is not used very often.
When the time no need start this machine, we can close the gate on the overflow line to the degasser sucking compartment, and then the drilling fluids could flow directly to the de-sander compartment after treated by the shale shaker. Even, sometimes then no need the cyclone unit, the drilling fluids could flow into the centrifuge feeding compartment. This always happens at the beginning time of the drilling as there is not much cuttings in the drilling fluids.
By opening or closing the gate between the overflow line and each compartment of the mud tank. The mud engineer could guide the drilling fluids flow so than do a better control of the solids control system. You know, turn off the equipment will not be used temporally will save a lot when drilling, and that is also a protection on the machine.
Knowing how the overflow line works would be much helpful for us to design the drilling fluids solids control system. Once the system arrives at the drilling site, this could greatly help to increase the working efficiency.

Water Well Drilling Using Mud Recycling System

One set 500GPM drilling mud recycling system was sent to Middle East for water well drilling. Besides the drilling mud recycling system for oil drilling, they also need drill water well for daily requirement for clean water. For the person living in Middle East, water is more important than oil. Sounds like a joke, but this is reality.
Water well is not so deep like the oil well, and the drilling cost is also very cheap comparing with oil drilling. However, both this 2 drilling processes need the drilling mud recycling system to speed up the drilling process and protect the drill bit. Water well drilling may not need the used drilling mud to be separated very clean as it is not requested strictly. Just like this 500GPM unit shipped to Middle East, it is a very compact
model, while it has all the necessary separation equipment.

water well drilling mud system

It has one unit shale shaker GNZS703DZ with 3 panel screens which could remove out the solids always larger than 300 microns. This model is with the mud feeder on top of the shaker deck so that this shaker could be much more compact. As the water well drilling is always not so deep, hence, the solids coming out with the drilling mud is always not so hard. In this 500GPM mud recycling system, the de-sander cone is not equipped, but directly the de-silter cone would be used to separate the solids size of around 20 microns.
This 500GPM water well drilling mud system is a standard GN model GNMS-500G with 2 unit centrifugal pumps. One of each is used as feeding pump for the de-silter cyclone, and the other one is used for mud mixing, the mud tank is divided into 2 compartments. It has enough space for clean mud storage.
Though this 500GPM mud system is for water well drilling, it can also be used in other drilling project like HDD. As the working principle is completely the same. The customer killed two birds with only one stone.

How to Make a Pitless Drilling Cuttings Disposal System

Pitless means no need to dig a pit on the ground to collect the drilling cuttings. Nowadays, though the solids control system is widely used in oil drilling, some drillers still dig a mud pit on the ground to collect the drilling waste cuttings discharged out from the primary solids control equipment.
So long as the drilling rig is working, the solids control system has to be working all the time as the used drilling fluids is continuously coming out from the drilling well. With the issue of much strict environment protection regulation, the driller need find a solution to reduce the volume of the discharged drilling cuttings; in the meanwhile, much more drilling fluids could be recovered to reduce the drilling cost. And then they got a
conclusion, if I can establish a pitless drilling cutting disposal system, all the problems would be solved.

pitless drilling cuttings disposal system
Pitless Drilling Cuttings Disposal System GN

Pitless drilling cuttings disposal system requires a good connection between the traditional solids control system and waste cuttings management system. The most important is there should be a final solution on how to make the discharges environmental friendly. For the waste cuttings out of the shale shaker and cyclone unit, no matter water base or oil base. We have the high G force drying shaker and vertical cutting dryer unit to make the cutting much dryer so that more drilling fluids could be recovered. The recovered drilling fluids would be pumped
to a high speed centrifuge for separation of fine solids in the drilling fluids. After treated by the centrifuge, the drilling fluids would flow back into the storage tank for drilling reuse. The screw conveyor is used to transfer the drilling cuttings from shaker unit to the cuttings dryer machine. Therefore, it is no need to dig a mud pit, or at least, a large and deep mud pit on the ground to collect the drilling cuttings. We nearly realize
the pitless before the final disposal of the dry cuttings.
There are Thermal Desorption Unit and solidification unit could be used to dispose the cuttings from the high G force drying shaker and Verti G dryer. These 2 systems could make the cuttings none hazardous for environment. Finally, the pitless drilling cuttings disposal system is established.

High Efficiency Shear Pump in Mud Recycling System

All large capacity drilling projects such as oil gas drilling, no dig drilling for pipeline laying and water well drilling need drilling fluids when doing the drilling job. There is one type equipment naming shear pump that is an ideal choice for drilling fluids mixing. We could see the drilling fluids as the blood of the drilling equipment.

GN Shearing Pump in Mud System

Here, how to make the drilling blood clean and let the blood perform well is so important to all the drillers. It is known that the drilling project need a drilling fluids recycling system, or we call it mud recycling system. Before start drilling, we need get the mud recycling system ready. On the other hand, we need the drilling fluids to be ready. The drilling fluid is a mixture of water/oil and some mud materials like barite, bentonite, and some other chemical agents. Among the various mud materials, the bentonite is the most important one and the consumption is quite big. Meanwhile, the bentonite is also a polymer which is difficult to solve into the drilling mud base.

Then how should we resolve this problem? Bingo! We need a shear pump. Thanks to the special design of the impeller, the shear pump could cut the polymer into very small pieces so that these materials could solve into the water easily. A high efficiency shear pump could make the consumption of bentonite reduce 30%. Oh my god! Really a large cost saving.

This is not the only advantage to use a shear pump to cut the polymers. Once the drilling started, the solids control equipment will also start running. When the used drilling fluid comes out from the well whole and flow into the shale shaker, the mud recycling process is beginning. If there is much long strips material in the drilling fluids, the screen will be blocked which leads to loss of polymers.
One thing the drilling fluids engineers need pay attention is the shear pump cannot run without fluids inside the pump. As you know, the shear pump is use centrifugal type pump, it need run with liquid to reduce centrifugal force so that the fluids can be transferred continuously. One more, the shear pump cannot be used to transfer used/active mud, as the cuttings in the used mud will definitely damage the pump parts.

Drilling Mud System for 1500HP Oil Drilling Rig

Recently GN Solids Control exported a oil drilling rig mud system for a 1500hp oil rig in Russia, with our partner supplying the mud tanks. GN supplying all the main equipment like shale shaker, mud cleaner, decanter centrifuges, centrifugal pumps.
