Oilfield Drilling Waste Mud Treatment Process and Equipment

Waste drilling mud is one of the main pollution sources in the petroleum and natural gas industry. The Oilfield Drilling Waste Mud Treatment Process is to treat the waste drilling mud (drill cuttings) immediately while drilling to meet the requirements of “mud zero discharge” and reduce environmental pollution. This technology is to dilute, flocculate and separate the waste mud into rock debris, mud cake and water, and process the solids in the mud through water washing, flocculation separation and chemical reaction to make the rock debris and mud cake meet the discharge standard.

The Oilfield Drilling Waste Mud Treatment main equipment includes: shale shaker, drill cuttings dryer, drilling fluid centrifuge, screw conveyor, screw pump, etc. KOSUN’s zero discharge mud system can effectively control the water content of drilling cuttings (6%-10%) in the drilling mud, stabilize the liquid phase performance, and achieve the purpose of mud zero discharge.

There are many kinds of waste mud treatment processes in oilfield drilling. Each treatment plan needs to be determined according to the drilling site and drilling construction conditions. It must not only achieve the treatment effect, but also meet the national environmental protection requirements, and strive to achieve harmless treatment. It plays an active role in improving and protecting the environment, soil and groundwater.

KOSUN Mud Zero Discharge System Processing Flow

The Mud Zero Discharge System developed by KOSUN mainly includes shale shaker, centrifuges, cuttings dryers, and screw conveyors. After processing, it can reach an oil content about 2-5%, which is in line with national and industry standards.

After dewatering centrifuge separation and multifunctional purification unit, the harmful part of the mud is discharged with the solid phase. The liquid phase can be used to prepare the mud, discharge as wastewater or irrigate, and the solid part is solidified and then landfilled.

On-site centralized processing while drilling, using physical centrifugal separation technology to recover most of the base oil on-site, reducing the oil content and total amount of waste (the solid phase oil content of the spin dryer is 2%-12%, and the solid phase oil content of the centrifuge is about 13%, the treated solid phase is transported to the centralized treatment station for further treatment, and the liquid phase is returned to the circulation system for use. The advantage of on-site centrifugal deoiling while drilling is that it reduces the total amount of waste at the source, recovers reusable oil-based mud, and the treated waste is easy to store and transport, which greatly reduces the time and energy consumption of subsequent processing.
