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 distinguished from oil returned from the formation. Successful drilling performance always come along with drilling cuttings from under ground. Those drilling cuttings mix with the drilling mud which are containing regularly 30%-40% crude oil. In this case, to recycle the oil is necessary for cost-effective drilling cuttings treating solutions. According to International Environmental Law,the oil based mud belongs to hazardous waste which can not be disposal without proper treatment.While the handling fee of the solids control is expensive and what we tried to do with the OBM UNIT is to dry and minimize the solids waste volume.

Considering the high cost and environmental pollution of oil mud in well drilling, recycle it through proper drilling cuttings treating solution for continuous drilling operation is significantly important. Just like water based mud recycle, we also need to use a series equipment to realize mud recovery.

KOSUN OBM unit is specially designed for oil based mud recycle and waste minimization. During the process, we will solid control equipment like gas-liquid separator, shakers, vacuum degasser, mud cleaner, desander, desilter, decanter centrifuge, centrifugal pump, screw pump, centrifugal pump, mud agitator and mud pump, and drilling cuttings management equipment like screw conveyor and vertical centrifuge (cuttings dryer). In this case, the solids waste can be easily stored and transferred. The late treatment charge on the solids be effectively decreased. (From yuan.yan@adkosun.com, MP (WhatsApp) +86 18602928622)

Drilling Cuttings & Drilling Waste Separation Development

Drilling waste separation from the mud at the sedimentary rock shakers is also coated with such a lot mud that   square measure|they're unsuitable for the  drilling fluid recycle or disposal step or are tough to handle or transport. Constituents of the drilling cuttings or the mud coating them, like oil or metals, could leach from the drilling waste, creating them unsuitable for land application or burial needs. forms of materials will be other to drilling cuttings to solidify and stabilize them.  Solidification could be a technology that encapsulate the drilling waste  in an exceedingly monolithic solid of high structural integrity. The encapsulation is also of fine drilling waste particles or of an outsized block orinstrumentality  of drilling cuttings .  Solidification doesn't essentially invol...

Drill Cuttings Disposal Management

Drill cuttings disposal is a hot topic these years with global attention to environmental protection, especially in O il & gas industry. D rill cuttings  disposal 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 cuttings are 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 cuttings are commonly examined to make a record (a  well log ) of the subsurface materials penetrated at various depths. In the oil industry, this is often called a  mud log .   One drilling method that does not produce drill cuttings is  core drilling , which instead produces solid cylinders of rock or soil.   In cable-tool ...

Screens Types Selection and Usage in Shale Shakers

S olids control equipment s hale shakers typically co mposed  of wire mesh  shaker screens  in  kinds of  mesh sizes that vibrate the drill waste  across and off the shaker screens as the drilling fluid or drilling mud flows through shaker screen s   in the solids control system and back into mud system.  Usually there are  three types of shaker screens for different shale shakers, including  PWP screen, PMD screen, and hook strip screen. PMD scree is Derrick ’ s patented products for Derrick 2000 series and Derrick 500 series shale shakers. While hook strip screens  and PWP screens are w idespread a pplication to  world famous shale shakers like brand Derrick, Brandt , M-I SWACO, and KOSUN. The steel frame shaker screen  is the most commonly shaker screens composed of steel frame and two or three  layers SS304  cloth.   Frame shaker screen  is commonly used ...
