Solidification unit for drilling cuttings disposal

Recently GN delivered a new designed solidification unit to our domestic client, it has been improved based on the previous design with the bigger storage capacity for solidification agent, flushing system, stronger mixing unit for heavy duty operation.

160723-Solidification-unit-2
According to the feedback from the client’s rigsite, the storage capacity of chemicals is not big enough for drilling waste with more fluids, so the solidification agent storage box is bigger in the new design, so the new solidification unit could be used for multi drilling waste status- with more fluids content or with less. 160723-Mud-Solidification-Unit
Another change on the new solidification unit is the feeding hopper skid, the feeding hopper is much bigger than the previous stabilization unit, we consider the international container shipment cost, the auger could be disassembly during shipment and the whole solidification unit could be shipped by a 40 ft container.
Solidification unit is an economic way for drilling cuttings disposal when the fluids content is not too much, if the environmental laws is permit, but in some countries, solidification unit is not acceptable for environmental laws. Too much solidification agent cement and calc will be wasted and the cost will be higher compared with the performance.
Except for solidification unit, GN solids control also provided drilling waste management system, Thermal Desorption Unit, dewatering unit, vacuum unit, Screw conveyor, decanter centrifuge, vertical cuttings dryer, high G dryer shaker, Mono pump, etc. Solidification unit and dewatering unit, decanter centrifuge and high G dryer is normally used for water based drilling cuttings, vertical cuttings dryer system is normally used for oil based drilling cuttings.
We will keep improving our solidification unit according to the feedback of our clients, user friendly and the performance is our target to make our client satisfied.  For more information of drilling cuttings disposal, pls contact with GN solids control.

CBM Mud recycling system for domestic drilling company in China

Last week GN solids control shipped a 3 mud tank recycling system for CBM project in Shanxi, China. This is a 500gpm mud recycling system with 1 unit of shale shaker, 1 unit of mud cleaner and 1 unit of middle speed decanter centrifuge. CBM mud recycling system is different with HDD mud recycling system and oil drilling solids control system, the design should be compact design and with smaller storage capacity. 160622-CBM-Shale-Shaker

This system is customized design after communication with the client. But the separation cut point should be smaller compared with HDD mud recycling system, normally desilter cone separation point is 15 ~ 20 microns, which is enough and acceptable for Horizontal directional drilling. But after long period drilling, the ultra fine solids will accumulated in the drilling fluids, which is not suitable for preparing the new drilling mud and re-used for drilling, that is why a decanter centrifuge is adopted in the mud system, the separation cut point is 5 ~ 7 microns.
The configuration of the CBM drilling mud recycling system is as below:

20160622-CBM-Solids-Control-System
(1)    3 panel shale shaker GNZS703E as the first phase cleaning equipment, to separate big solids from drilling fluids
(2)    GNZJ703E-1S8N mud cleaner with 500gpm treating capacity, 3 panel bottom shaker and 1 pc of desander cone and 8 pcs of desilter cone, the separation point of desander cone is 40 microns and separation point of desilter cone is 20 microns.
(3)    18 inch middle speed decanter centrifuge

Solids Control Equipment for Offshore Drilling

Solids control equipments are commonly used in land rig drilling project for drilling fluids recycling and cleaning. Properly recycling the drilling fluids could significantly reduce the cost on drilling fluids and the discharged volume of waste cuttings. Offshore drilling also produces drilling cuttings and other waste material need to be treated. Among the material produced, the used drilling fluid is the first one need to be disposed.

There are many places where the solids control equipment would be used, one of that is the equipment used on offshore drilling platform. A very compact flat including all the drilling machinery standing firmly in the sea, when drilling, it will need the drilling fluids recycling system for treating the used drilling fluids. Due the limited space on offshore platform, the driller always adopt the double or triple layers shale shaker as the primary separation on used drilling fluids. The mud cleaning system on offshore platform includes all the necessary equipment comparing with land rig, just working on the sea.

mud recycling system

Almost all the offshore rig platform has enough mud tanks for storage the drilling fluids. However, when there is over much ultra fine solids in the drilling fluids, the drilling fluids is not be able to be used anymore if without any further separation. At this time, this type used drilling fluids need to be transported to land for treatment. The barge ship is used to transport this type drilling fluids from offshore rig platform to the land and provide new and active drilling fluids for the rig. The barge ship need have many mud storage tanks so that it can bring sufficient mud to the offshore rig. The barge ship need also have the mud mixing equipment for mud mixing system on the ship. The mud agitator and mud gun would also be needed for mud mixing system.

More attention should be given to the explosion proof of the motor and control cabinet, as it will be more dangerous if there is a fire on offshore rig or barge ship than on land rig. Thus, the electric components used for offshore should be strictly marin explosion proof standard. The other thing need to be given more attention is sufficient wear parts storage for offshore rig, as we known, it will be much difficult for the drilling to get a small wear part once the equipment shut down. That will be a waste for both time and funds.

 

GN decanter centrifuge used for high gravity solids drilling fluids

GN solids control brand decanter centrifuge has been used for high gravity solids drilling fluids successfully in Shengli Oilfield in domestic market. The features of the drilling waste fluids for this zero-discharge projects are as below:

high gravity centrifuge
High viscosity, high corrosive, high oil content, high pollution, difficult to be treated, high treating cost, etc.
The technical datas of the drilling waste management for the zero-discharge project is as below:
Drilling waste total volume: About 2000 tons each drilling period, each period is about 7~15 days
Solids content in the drilling waste fluids: experienced data 2%
Dry solids : 40 tons / period( approx)
The traditional waste water treatment equipment is hard to work continuously 24 hours automatically, the drilling waste cuttings is increased and discharged from shale shaker, desander, desilter , decanter centrifuge, especially for the shale shaker discharged cuttings, much of mud, cuttings are included in the drilling fluids, the cuttings size is between 5~ 20mm, If treated by the traditional belt filter for drying, the filter will be damaged and blocked.
After study and test in the client’s rig site, GN engineer team adopted our GNLW363CG-VFD decanter centrifuge for drilling waste treatment of this project. Our decanter centrifuge is 3 VFD control for main motor, back drive motor and pump motor, which can be used for different applications.
