Drilling Waste Management Solutions

With the increasing attention to environmental protection, drilling waste randomly disposal has been seriously forbid by many countries. Considering the global need of such kind of equipment need, KOSUN focused on drilling waste management solutions for many years.

Contamination of drilling fluids with drilled cuttings is an unavoidable consequence of successful drilling operations. If the drilling fluid does not carry cuttings and caving to the surface, the rig is not either “making hole” or soon will be stuck in the hole it is making. The drill cuttings that are separated from the drilling fluid on the surface by the solids control equipment and some quantity of unrecoverable or economically unwanted drilling fluid are a major source of drilling waste. Drilled and formation solids that are sized smaller than can be removed by the solids control equipment are often reported as drill solids. Some quantity of drill solids will accumulate in the drilling fluid and must be removed by the solids control equipment or reduced in concentration by dilution.

Before the introduction of mechanical solids-removal equipment, dilution was used to control solids content in the drilling fluid. The typical dilution procedure calls for dumping a portion of the active drilling-fluid volume to a waste pit and then diluting the solids concentration in the remaining fluid by adding the appropriate base fluid, such as water or synthetic oil.

Using solids-control equipment to minimize dilution has been a standard practice for the drilling industry for more than 60 years. Drilling waste management equipment and methods have changed over that time, but the fundamentals behind the process have not.

During the drilling waste management, KOSUN combines decanter centrifuge, hi-G dryer shale shaker, vertical centrifuge/cuttings dyers and screw conveyor as a system to ensure environmental harmful cuttings not back to nature. And the system has shown superior running efficiency in Russian market with high evaluation from our customer.

Mono Screw Pump Working Principle and Apllication

M ono screw pump , also called sewage pump or progressive cavity pump , belongs to the rotor type positive displacement pump . M ono screw pump is depend ing on the screw meshing with liner on the discharge and suction cavity to conveying liquid volume change. It is a kind of method of pressurized screw pump, a main working parts by bushing has a double helix cavity (stator) and the stator cavity and its meshing singlehead screw screw (rotor). When the input shaft through the universal joint drive making planets revolving around the center of the stator, rotor stator, rotor, vice is continuous mesh form sealed cavity, the seal chamber volume invariably uniform axial movement, the medium from the suction end of deputy to the stator, rotor pressure side, the suction medium sealed cavity through the stator without stirring and destruction. M ono screw pump is an ideal pump used to feed drilling fluids to decanter centrifuge. Since mud is evenly pushed to pro

Water Based Mud Drilling Cuttings Management

In geotechnical engineering , drilling fluid is used to aid the drilling of boreholes into the earth , o ften used while drilling oil and natural gas wells and on exploration drilling rigs , and also for much simpler boreholes like water wells . Liquid drilling fluid is often called drilling mud. The three main categories of drilling fluids are water-based mud (which can be dispersed and non-dispersed), non-aqueous mud, usually called oil-based mud, and gaseous drilling fluid, in which a wide range of gases can be used. The main functions of drilling fluids include : providing hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering into the well bore, keeping the drill bit cool and clean during drilling, carrying out drill cuttings, and suspending the drill cuttings while drilling is paused and when the drilling assembly is brought in and out of the hole. The drilling fluid used for a particular job is selected to avoid formation damage and to limi

Oil Based Mud Drilling Cuttings Treating Solutions

Drilling cuttings treating solutions will depend on the drilling mud characteristics. Oil-based mud is a mud where the base fluid is a petroleum product such as diesel fuel , kerosene, fuel oil, selected crude oil or mineral oil. For OBM ’ s complexity, the drilling cuttings treating solutions will have more strict demands on the processing equipment. Oil-based mud are used for many reasons, including increased lubricity, enhanced shale inhibition, and greater cleaning abilities with less viscosity. Oil-based mud also withstand greater heat without breaking down. The use of oil-based mud has special considerations, including cost, environmental considerations such as disposal of cuttings in an appropriate place, and the exploratory disadvantages of using oil-based mud, especially in wildcat wells. Using an oil-based mud interferes with the geochemical analysis of cuttings and cores and with the determination of API gravity because the base fluid cannot be distin
