Drilling mud Equipment

The GN  Ditch Magnet is a junk retrieval tool designed to remove metal particles from drilling mud. The Ditch Magnet Removing metal particles from the drilling mud that the shale shaker will not get. This unit will capture all metals having magnetic attraction and hold them until they can be removed from the mud stream. The Magnet is particularly valuable during milling operations. Removal of mill cuttings and debris reduces wear of mud pumps and other equipment, as well as eliminating problems caused by the return downhole of harmful debris. They are equally effective during washover and fishing jobs.

Construction of GN Ditch Magnet

Ditch magnet consists of a main body and a fixed support which are all made of stainless steel. The main body is composed of two layers, both top and bottom surfaces of each layer can adsorb scrap iron. The main body is made of imported magnet with the highest absorbability, which feathers high absorbability, large adsorption area and long service life. The installation method is: hang the fixed supports at the two sides of the ditch magnet to the mud with four 800 mm stainless steel chains.

Models available for the Ditch Magnet

GN has standard models ditch magnet of 495mm length,860mm lenth.GN also provide customized Ditch Magnet to fit for customer’s applications.GN Drilling mud Ditch Magnet can be used for GN own made Shale Shaker,and Other brands like Derrick ,MI-Swaco,NOV Brandt,Other USA and China made shale shakers.

Other Brand Ditch Magnet

Bowen  Ditch Magnet Construction:

The Bowen  Ditch Magnet features simplicity, ruggedness and high power-to-weight ratio. The 36-inch long Magnet weighs only 90 pounds and will hold in suspension as much as half this weight of mill cuttings. The design is clean; eliminating trays, gates and other auxiliary equipment. The magnet is encased in stainless steel and has integral handles at each end for lifting.

Bowen  Ditch Magnet Operation:

No special instructions are required to operate the Bowen Ditch Magnet. It is most effective when suspended by soft line in the mud ditch. It may also be suspended by soft line in the shaker discharge. The unit should be cleaned several times per day, depending on milling rate. Just remove the Magnet and clean with fresh or salt water hose. Wipe all cuttings from the unit and return it to duty. The unit may be cleaned less often during other operations when return cuttings come slower.

 

 

Driller mud system and GN Solids Control both are very famous drilling equipments company. Here I am going to compare these two companies.

Slurry pump is widely used in oil&gas drilling work, mining programs and so on. Variable Frequency Drives Slurry Pumps is one kind of slurry pump, and main body is the same with other slurry pumps. And it usually not used so widely as usual ones.

Any way if you need to choose a right Variable Frequency Drives Slurry Pumps, firstly choose the right pump, then the motor, then maybe control panel is needed.

GN Solids Control supply kinds of slurry pumps for all kinds of application, especially in oil and gas drilling. If you want to get the right model from us, usually you must supply these informations:

1.the productivity (flow) you required;

2. the lift you required, or the envioment in your work site, is there any difference in height of the related equipments and others (mud pits for example).

3. Do you need horizontal or vertical pumps?

4. Importantly do not forget to what kind of material you are pumping, if it contains something like H2SO4 or other corrosive materials. Continue reading “Variable Frequency Drives Slurry Pumps”

There are three kinds of drilling fluid, oil based fluids (OBF’s), synthetic based fluids (SBF’s), water based fluids (WBF’s). Every coin have two sides, three ways have there own advantages and disadvantages, but for water based fluids, one important factor is: enviomental friendly, while not delivering optimal performance in more challenging drilling conditions.

Enviomental drilling fluid is water based fluid, no need any biologichal process. Just screening, hydrocycling, decanting, and so on, only mechinical separation.

As one of the few API and ISO certified manufacturer,GN Solids Control design various drilling mud weighting equipment and system for Petroleum drilling,Micro-Tunneling,Horizontal direction Drilling,downhole drilling etc.

To know why people need to weight the drilling mud as operation goes,firstly,we need to know

Composition of drilling mud

Water-based drilling mud most commonly consists of bentonite clay (gel) with additives such as barium sulfate (barite), calcium

carbonate (chalk) or hematite. Various thickeners are used to influence the viscosity of the fluid, e.g. xanthan gum, guar gum, glycol, carboxymethylcellulose, polyanionic cellulose (PAC), or starch. In turn, deflocculants are used to reduce viscosity of clay-based muds; anionic polyelectrolytes (e.g. acrylates, polyphosphates, lignosulfonates (Lig) or tannic acid derivates such as Quebracho) are frequently used. Red mud was the name for a Quebracho-based mixture, named after the color of the red tannic acid salts; it was commonly used in 1940s to 1950s, then was made obsolete when lignosulfonates became available. Other components are added to provide various specific functional characteristics as listed above.

While operation goes,some material as composed of the drilling mud above may lose.To keep the balance of the drilling mud,drillers need to weight the drilling mud by adding chemicals into the mud.Usually,a complete drilling mud weighting system is consist of following equipment or accessories.

GN Solids Control design and manufacturer drilling mud system specifically for CSG (Coal Seam Gas) Drilling Mud Cleaning System.
The CSG (Coal Seam Gas) exploration and drilling is very popular in Australia.GN Solids Control has exported mud system to Australia for CSG drilling contractors.

About CSG (Coal Seam Gas)
As an end-use product, CSG is the same as natural gas, and can be utilised in all natural gas appliances and commercial applications.The difference between CSG and other natural gas is mostly how it occurs in nature. CSG collects in the coal seam by bonding to the surface of coal particles, whereas other natural gas is stored in the pore spaces between grains of sandstone or similar rock.

Coal seams in the ground are generally filled with water, and it is the pressure of the water that keeps the gas adsorbed as a thin film on the surface of the coal. The cleats, the fracture system of coal, may be interconnected and permeable. In a high quality CSG deposit the cleats are permeable enough to allow gas and water to flow freely through them.

The level of gas produced from a coal bed is dependent on the thickness of the coal, gas content, permeability and the depth of the coal seam.The coal seams that can produce CSG economically are usually between 200m to 1,000m below the surface.

As described by GN Solids Control Clients,in CSG drilling,the drilling mud usually has much fine solids sometimes up to 80% solids.Aslo the CSG drilling is very fast. Continue reading “CSG (Coal Seam Gas) Drilling Mud System”

As an ISO & API Certified company specilize in mud circulation system.Following GN Solids Control introduction of mud circulation systems.
Function of Mud Circulation System
A fluid called mud circulates through the drilling bit as it cuts through rock. The fluid lubricates the bit, removes rock cuttings, stabilizes the wall around the hole, and controls the pressure in the wellbore. The mud is a suspension of chemicals and minerals, such as bentonite clay in water or sometimes oil.

Processing of Mud Circulation System
Workers blend the mixture in the mud-mixing shack. The mud pumps push the fluid up the standpipe and into the drill pipe through the kelly, or through fittings in a top drive mechanism. After passing through the drill bit, the mud and cuttings circulate back to the surface through the space outside the pipe, known as the annulus, and into the return line.

The shale shaker, a vibrating screen, then separates the cuttings from the mud. The cuttings flow into lined pits or tanks, while the drilling mud flows through the de-silter and is recirculated. More fluid is added through the mixer as the drilling progresses to greater depths. When drilling is completed, the remaining fluid is trucked away for disposal or reuse at another site.
