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

Drilling Waste Management Approach and Method

Drilling waste management is a hot topic these years with global attention to environmental protection, especially in O il & gas industry. Drilling waste management into environment without any treatment is strictly forbidden. So before disposal, a series methods must be introduced to treat the cuttings and make it reach to disposal standard. Drill ing waste is produced as the rock is broken by the drill bit advancing through the rock or soil; the cuttings are usually carried to the surface by drilling fluid circulating up from the drill bit by rotary , percussion , or auger methods. The drill ing waste is commonly examined to make a record (a well log ) of the subsurface materials penetrated at various depths. In the oil and gas industry, this is often called a mud log . One drilling method that does not produce drill ing waste is core drilling , which instead produces solid cylinders of rock or soil. In cable-tool drilling, the drilling waste i
