Drilling Waste Management Processing Craft Description


During oil & gas exploration and production, there are lots of drilling cuttings and fluid generated. These drilling waste will leak into earth with time going which is great harm to surface and ground water and the surrounding environment even causes pollution, especially in sensitive area harmful to human health and life. Therefore, it is crucial important to drilling waste management before discharged.

Here is a simple processing procedure for drilling waste management.
  • The screw conveyor mounted under the shale shaker is used for collecting drilling cuttings from shale shakers and mud cleaners (desander or desilter), then convey the drilling cuttings to the H-G dryer for solid-liquid drilling waste management.
  • There is one conical buried tank under the shale shakers for discharging mud and alleviate the grit in mud tank. Otherwise, if serious grouting off happened, the overflow mud will enter into the conical buries tank to prevent mud grounding. There is one unit of submersible sludge pump at the end of the conical buried tank which can return the fluid to the H-G dryer for waste separation. The conical buried tank is equipped with two units of MA55 mud agitators.
  • Solids from the centrifuge is back to solid collection tank for solidification and then passed to the on-site waste temporary dumps.
  • The solids after H-G dryer and high speed VFD centrifuge get to the solidified tank by screw conveyor, and the fluid enters into the collection cabin and is pumped into high speed VFD centrifuge by screw pump for further drilling waste management.
  • The solids after high speed VFD centrifuge is transported to the on-site waste temporary dumps by screw conveyor, or discharged into the solidified tank. The solids after high speed VFD centrifuge must not enter into cuttings dryer for further processing.
  • The sediments in the conical buried tank under the H-G dryer can be dig out by special machine.
  • The system shall be facilitated with washing device for equipment cleaning.

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
