Offshore Drilling Fluids Management

When referring to offshore drilling fluids management, usually remind us STEP OFFSHORE, which belongs to AKER SOLUTION, a very famous company. But they are not manufacturer.

In 2010, STEP Offshore appointed exclusive distributor for Derrick. STEP Offshore given exclusive right to sell premium solids control equipment and screens in Europe. Logistics infrastructure in place to satisfy the most demanding customer requirements. Pyramid Plus screen technology gives up to 200 percent more screen area.

For the offshore drilling fluids management, Derrick supply these main products: Dual Pool 600 shale shaker, Dual Pool 600 mud

 

cleaner, FLC 513, FLC 514, FLC 503, FLC 504, DE-CP Premium 250 Centrifugal Pumps, DE-7200 VFD Centrifuge, DE-1000 Series Centrifuges, similar as onshore drilling while suit for offshore environment.

BEM shale shaker

GN Solids Control can supply similar products for offshore application. Choose the proper motors, marine explosion proof, concern more on the painting, also the control panels, and so on.

BEM703 shale shaker, which is balanced elliptical motion, is designed by Mr. Zhang in Southwest Petroleum University  in 2009, and trialed in 2011 in one Chinese oilfield. Then we take it to the CIPPE 2011, this means it has been lead into the international market.

And it is very exciting that it is the highlight of all solids control equipment in the exhibition, we signed 2 contracts for similar system just in the booth.

For treating the oil drilling fluids, the balanced elliptical motion shaker is 20%-30% bigger than linear motion shaker, discharging speed is 10%-20% faster;For resisting the “screen stuck”, “screen paste” “horseshoe effect” ,the balanced elliptical motion shale shaker is much more effective.

Submersible Mud Agitator

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

submersible mud agitator

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

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

Vortex-Mud-Hopper
Vortex-Mud-Hopper

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.

Piling Slurry Treatment

Professional at solids liquids separation, now GN road to the piling field. In Desander for Piling construction, we introduce the piling piling desanderslurry 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”
