Vacuum Degasser and Mud Gas Separator

Vacuum Degasser

Application

Gases are entrained in drilling fluid from the wellbore during normal drilling operation as well as during "kick" or well control situations, these gases present safety hazards and create operational problems, in case of the presence of hazardous gases, it is desirable to localize the point where gas is released from the mud by installing a vacuum degasser.

Features & Advantages

1. Absorbing the waste gas with its own power unit independently, without the extra centrifugal pump

2. Can be worked as high power drilling mud agitator

3. Eliminating the corrosion for the solid control equipment, reducing the cost for the maintenance

4. Compact design, saving space

Mud Gas Separator

Application

The field-proven KOSUN mud gas separator is an extremely reliable and vital piece of safety equipment for today drilling operations. It is ideal for use where drilling is likely to encounter large volumes of gas, sour gas or when an operator is drilling with an under balanced mud column. The KOSUN mud gas separator is primarily used to separate and safety vent large pockets of free gas, which may include toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide, from the drilling fluid system.

Working Principle

Gas cut drilling fluid flows into mud gas separator through inlet mouth, hitting the impact panel and dispersing on a series of inner baffles, so the exposed surface is increased, then it flows downward to form turbulent flow, and gas will be separated from drilling fluid. Free gas can be discharged from the vent at tank top. The length of gas extraction pipe should be measured and connected on site, and leads to safety area. The degasificate drilling fluid will flow into cycling tank through shale shaker.

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
