Drilling mud Equipment

Offshore drilling is becoming mutual, and focus more on environment and health, to keep the world better and more beautiful. So drilling fluid circulation are more and more important than before.

For offshore drilling, there are some big players in the world. Aker Solutions’ wholly-owned subsidiary STEP Offshore has delivered a drilling fluid and well control system to Rolls-Royce Marine, which will be used on the Yme field in the North Sea. The Aker Solutions unit made a fast and efficient delivery of an ultra compact skid mounted system for drilling fluid circulation and well control to the customer.

Although, GN Solids Control also can supply similar drilling fluid circulation equipments for offshore drilling site.  As an API & ISO certificated company, GN Solids Control focus on solid liquid circulation system (equipment) manufacturing, and GN can supply one stop solution for drilling rigs, or a certain offshore drilling site.

For the offshore drilling fluid circulation, the equipment usually contains:

1. Shale Shaker, now GN Solids Control invent their own patent balanced elliptical motion (BEM) shale shaker

2. Mud Cleaner, with BEM shaker, or linear motion shaker, and high quality hydrocyclones, (stainless clamp and valve).

3. Mud Agitator, GN can supply high efficient agitator for drilling site.

4. Decanter Centrifuge, top advanced technology.

5. All other related equipment.

Also,  products of GN Solids Control got highly appreciate by the customer.

 

This message is from one of them:

We run our gn 500gpm mud recycler one month ago on a job,and everybody was really happy.It is a real good system.

As a leader of solid liquid separation plants in China, GN Solids Control now march to piling field, GN50 is the first desanding plants for piling, and it will be exported to Pakistan. GN also can supply GN 100 (treating capacity 100 cbm), or other customized desanding plants.

Desanding plants are also a very important part of liquid solid separation, and GN 50 can also applicant in other fields, like mining industry, well drilling, deep drilling and so on.

The main components of all desanding plants are: Coarse screen for intercepting stones larger than 5 mm;  Storage tank of the coarse screen;  Cyclone with cyclone feeder pump for removing fine particles from the suspension; Dewatering screens for abstracting further water from the solids dis-charged by the cyclone. GN 50 use high efficiency linear motion shale shaker, with OLI brand motor, high quality centrifugal pump.

Submersible mud agitator is also used widely in oil & gas drilling, for the drilling work is usually complicated. To prevent

sedimentation, that is why we use mud agitator, but the suspend type is not usually suitable for all kinds of condition.

Drilling mud is composed of extremely small particles and has a thick consistency. Its settling velocity is therefore low, and sediment should not be a problem if the contents in a tank can be kept in motion. But, due to the combination of the irregular shape of tanks and the inefficiency of conventional mixing systems, sediment build-up is a timeconsuming and expensive problem.

Features and Advantages:

•   No sedimentation – the agitator suspends the solids, counteracting the mud’s tendency to stratify.

•   Full tank volumes – by preventing sedimenta-tion, the full volume of a tank will always be available, allowing for prolonged drilling opera-tions.

•   No manual clean-out – ends time-consuming and expensive manual or mechanical removal of sediment.

•   Problem-free pumping – with well-mixed drill-ing mud, problems are avoided when pumping the mud.

•   Monitoring and control – we supply monitoring devices, for full operator control.

•   Faster batch productivity – the combination of high turbulence and high flow results in fast batch turnover.

Applications:

Submersible, then it must be used in tanks, or something alike. Mud tanks in supply ships, drilling rigs, mud plants.

Vortex Mud Hopper is the replacement hopper for Venturi hopper.Both mud hopper are used in mud mixing system for adding chemicals.Connect the hopper with centrifugal pump and mixing tank,it will consist to be a mud mixing system.

Traditional Venturi mud hopper

A mud-flow device, also called a jet hopper, in which materials are put into the circulating mud system. The mud hopper is powered

by a centrifugal pump that flows the mud at high velocity through a venturi nozzle (jet) below the conical-shaped hopper. Dry materials are added through the mud hopper to provide dispersion, rapid hydration and uniform mixing. Liquids are sometimes fed into the mud by a hose placed in the hopper.

Advantages of Vortex Mud Hopper

Compare with Venturi hopper  the Vortex hopper has following advantages

a) Effective mixing time in vortex hopper  is longer and the result is better.

b) Material feed caliber is bigger to prevent feeding jam and increase feeding rate.

c) Vortex hopper  is suitable for various materials and is widely used

d) Vortex mud hopper  has no limitation for the size of material particles and will not be jammed by solid deposit when left unused for long period

Vortex mud hopper  mixes solids  additives with drilling fluids evenly. It is suitable to the basic equipment in configuration of equipments for drilling fluids. Vortex mud hopper adopts rotational flow mixing technology, and can fill bentonite and barite, etc into drilling fluids quickly in order to be adapted to complicated drilling process. This product is of good mixing effect, quick filling of material, and with no-blockage.

Professional at solids liquids separation, now GN road to the piling field. In Desander for Piling construction, we introduce the piling slurry recycle and the process of the piling slurry treatment. Now we are going to talk about the application and the desander for piling in the piling construction system.

Piling Introduction

Foundations relying on driven piles often have groups of piles connected by a pile cap (a large concrete block into which the heads of the piles are embedded) to distribute loads which are larger than one pile can bear. Pile caps and isolated piles are typically connected with grade beams to tie the foundation elements together; Continue reading “Piling Slurry Treatment”
