Drilling Waste Disposal-Burial in Oil & Gas Industry

Burial is the most common onshore disposal technique used for disposing of drilling wastes (mud and cuttings). Generally, the solids are buried in the same pit (the reserve pit) used for collection and temporary storage of the drilling wastes mud and cuttings after the liquid is allowed to evaporate. Pit burial is a low-cost, low-tech method that does not require drilling wastes to be transported away from the well site, and, therefore, is very attractive to many operators. Burial is the placement of waste in man-made or natural excavations, such as pits or landfills. Burial may be the most misunderstood or misapplied disposal technique. Simply pushing the walls of the reserve pit over the drilling  cuttings is generally not acceptable. The depth or placement of the burial cell is important. A moisture content limit should be established on the buried drilling cuttings, and the chemical composition should be determined. Onsite pit burial may not be a good choice for dri...

Shale Shaker Functions in Solids Control System

Shale shaker is the 1 st  stage separation equipment for oilfield solids control  system . It adopts  vibrating motor to generate vibrating force . The vibrating force  drives the drilling fluid with cuttings   pass  through the   shale shaker . When the drilling fluid  goes through the   shale shaker screen , clean mud will be filter ed and goes  into mud tank. No n- allowable bigger solids will pass the screen surface and be discharged  to cuttings pot . There are mainly two types of shale shaker applied in solids control system for drilling cuttings separation. A.  Balanced elliptical motion shale shaker . It is not recommended for oil and gas drilling since the flow capacity is big. If the mud flow is not equal, the motion of shaker will be changed. And performance will not be good. Mostly, professional users prefer linear motion for wide application. B.   Linear motion shale shaker . This is the m...
