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 ...

Drilling Waste Disposal-Pit Burial

The use of earthen or lined pits is integral to drilling waste management. During most China  drilling operations, the drilling cuttings separated by the shale shaker are sent to a pit called the reserve pit located near the drill rig. The pit is generally open to the atmosphere, so it also accumulates stormwater and washwater from the rig. The strategic location of small pits near drilling sites can also help minimize spillage of drilling waste. Unless site characteristics are such that no significant threat to water resources can occur, liners are generally required. Where pits must be constructed adjacent to water bodies or on sloping terrain, engineering precautions incorporated into the design will help to ensure pit integrity. Precautions should be taken to prevent disposal of chemicals, refuse, debris, or other materials not intended for pit disposal. At the end of the drilling job, any hydrocarbon products floating on top of the pits are recovered and any free...

Drilling Waste Separation by Solidification and Stabilization

Drilling waste separation  from the mud at the shale shakers may be coated with so much mud that they are unsuitable for the drilling mud recycle or disposal step or are difficult to handle or transport. Constituents of the drilling cuttings or the mud coating them, like oil or metals, may leach from the drilling waste, making them unsuitable for land application or burial requirements. Kinds of materials can be added to drilling cuttings to solidify and stabilize them. Solidification is a technology that encapsulate the drilling waste in a monolithic solid of high structural integrity. The encapsulation may be of fine drilling waste particles or of a large block or container of drilling cuttings. Solidification does not necessarily involve a chemical interaction between the drilling waste separation and the solidifying reagents but may mechanically bind the drilling waste into the monolith. Contaminant migration is restrict...
