An Overview of the Drilling Dig Mud Tank System: Composition and Function

The components and applications of a drilling rig mud tank system may include:

  1. Mud Tank: It is are large container used to store and circulate drilling fluids (mud) during the drilling process. It has various compartments for different purposes such as mixing, settling, and storing mud.
  2. Shale Shaker: It is a vibrating screen that separates large solids and cuttings from the drilling mud. It helps in maintaining the consistency and quality of the mud.
  3. Mud Agitators: These are mechanical devices that stir the drilling mud in the tanks to prevent settling and maintain a uniform mixture. They ensure the mud remains well-mixed and homogeneous.
  4. Desander and Desilter: These are hydrocyclone units used for removing finer solids, sand, silt, etc. from the drilling mud. Desander removes larger particles, while desilter removes smaller particles.
  5. Centrifuge: It is a machine that uses centrifugal force to separate the components of liquid and solid particles or a mixture of liquid and liquid.
  6. Mud Pumps: The mud pumps are used to circulate the drilling mud from the mud tanks down the drill string and back up to the surface. They provide the necessary pressure to enable drilling operations.
  7. Vacuum degasser: The vacuum degasser is usually used to remove gases, such as methane and other harmful vapors, from the drilling mud. It helps in maintaining the safety and stability of the drilling process.

The main applications of a drilling rig mud tank system include:

  1. Controlling and maintaining the properties of drilling mud, such as viscosity, density, and pH.
  2. Removing solid particles and cuttings from the drilling mud to ensure proper drilling performance.
  3. Recycling and reusing the drilling mud to minimize waste and reduce costs.
  4. Managing and disposing of drilling waste in an environmentally responsible manner.
  5. Providing a safe and efficient drilling operation by controlling the drilling fluid properties.

Drilling rig mud tank system plays an important role in oil drilling and other industrial fields. It stores, blends, agitates and mixes mud, performs filtration and solid-liquid separation, and controls mud circulation and circulation parameters. The application of a drilling rig mud tank system not only improves the efficiency and safety of drilling operations, but also plays a positive role in environmental protection.

Drilling Dig Mud Tank System

Water-based Drilling Mud Treatment Process

The solid control system is an indispensable system function module in oil drilling operations, the traditional solid control system is usually composed of a circulation tank, shale shaker, cleaner, centrifuge, etc., with a high cost of purchase and subsequent use, high energy consumption, low reliability, in order to meet the zero discharge environmental regulations need to support the corresponding drilling mud treatment system and other drawbacks. To this end, we have proposed an integrated solution to replace the traditional water-based waste mud treatment system and drilling waste system based on years of practical experience. It has been successfully applied to an oilfield drilling site in Changqing and has achieved good economic and energy-saving environmental benefits.

Water-based drilling waste disposal process

  1. Wellhead return mud discharge to circulation settling tank;
  2. The mud in the circulating settling tank is settled step by step by way of high overflow and then pumped back to the solid control system with the submersible sludge pump for reuse, and the solid phase is transported to the broken rubber tank with the excavator;
  3. Three agitators are installed on the rubber-breaking tank, and the materials entering the rubber-breaking tank are added to flocculate;
  4. The filter press slurry pump suction broken glue tank flocculated material to the filter press for filtering;
  5. The clear liquid after pressing and filtering can be continuously transported to the storage tank;
  6. The solid phase after filtration is transported to the buried tank through the belt conveyor;
  7. Use the excavator to transfer the solid phase of the buried tank.

Drilling Waste Management System – Containment and Handling

Drilling Waste Management

Drilling waste management  is more and more important. The necessity of energy is increasing relentlessly. People are becoming more and more power hungry. With the increase in the demand, drilling companies are trying to cope up with the ever increasing demand by setting up new drilling sites.

A major issue that any drilling company has to handle is how to manage the drilling wastes generated from shale shaker cuttings. Drilling waste management companies are trying to sort out the most environment friendly method for the waste management.

Drilling Waste Management Plan
Drilling Waste Management Plan

A major step of drilling waste management plan is managing the containment of the wastes generated by shale shaker. A discussion about the issue is given below.

How the drilling waste is contained and handled: The first issue that should be consider in containing and handling drilling waste is the geographical features of the certain drilling sites.

Containment and handling of drilling wastes are no longer to simply on shore based as more and more companies are engaging in off shore drilling for new source of oil and gas. The most common way of managing shale shaker generated drilling wastes is building and using sumps.

Different types of drilling wastes including cement returns drilling wasted and drilling cuttings are contained in a sump. The sumps that are used to contain drilling wastes should not be built in non – polluted area of surface.

A sump inspection must be performed by experts right before the waste disposed in it. A waste tracking system for the drilling wastes must be developed to control the flow of wastes in the sumps.

A regular and efficient inspection schedule must be maintained by the employees in order to ensure that waste contamination sumps are in subtle condition. Another important issue for handling and contamination of drilling waste is decommissioning the sumps. When any sump is decommissioned, drilling authority must ensure that there is zero possibility of further contamination.

Drilling Waste Cuttings Treatment – Pit Less Mud System

Drilling Waste

Oil and gas drilling is one of the most prolific business now a days. A very complex mechanism is used to drill oil and gas from the mine. A very common equipment that is seen in oil and gas drilling area is a shale shaker.

There are two basic approaches of drilling using a shale shaker .
The first one is the solid control system which is very popular for drilling now a days.
The second approach is the pit less mud system for drilling. Today the focus will be given on the pit less mud system for drilling.

What is pit less mud system for drilling: The pit less mud system for drilling is basically a process in which no pit is dug on the surface while for collecting cuttings from drilling.

In pit less mud system for  drilling waste cuttings treatment , a very important thing that is required to maintain is a proper integration between the waste management system and solid maintaining process. When the waste cuttings are taken out from shale shakers , two particular equipments named G force drying shaker and vertical cutting dryer are used to extract the liquid and to make the cuttings drier.

After that, the dry cuttings are transported from the shale shaker unit to the disposal unit. In that stage, the waste cuttings can be disposed on the surface without digging any pit. In many oil and gas drilling sites, a more environment friendly approach is taken to dispose drilling waste cuttings.

In that case, the drilling waste cuttings are taken to another unit for the final processing. In this unit, the waste cuttings are processed via solidification process. Waste cuttings can also be processed by thermal desorption machine. Thus, the drilling waste cuttings become contamination free and environment friendly. Then, the waste cuttings can be disposed without any fear.
