Prospects for Oil Sludge Management Equipment

With the promulgation of the new environmental law, the environmental requirements is getting higher and higher to the oil field, and free discharge of oil sludge will no longer be allowed.Oil Sludge Management is becoming a focal issue.

Oil sludge is oil mixed into the soil.It will be mixed together and become very difficult to deal with.Oil sludge mainly from two aspects: First, crude oil from the stratum to the ground and accumulated in all kinds of containers, large tanks and recycling pools and other ground facilities; Second, Oil sludge produced by oil wells operations.

Oily sludge is mainly derived from oil field mining and sewage treatment plant, in general, the sludge oil content is from 10% to 50%, moisture content is from 40% to 90%. The ultimate purpose of Oil Sludge Management is to reduce the harmful resources. The common oil sludge treatment methods are solvent extraction, incineration, biological, coking, oily sludge profile control, comprehensive utilization of oil sludge. The results show that the current methods for Oil Sludge Management have their own characteristics and scope of application. As the oil sludge composition is complex, there is no treatment that can treatment all types of oily sludge.

According to statistics, the size of the pollutant treatment market is between 100 to 150 billion yuan in each year,and according to roughly calculation,the investment of Oil Sludge Management equipment needs more than 150 billion.

Since 2007,Daqing Oilfield have built nine Oil Sludge Management station, the annual treatment capacity can reach 3.2 million tons,all the oil sludge had been treatment harmless. Changqing Oilfield build a Longdong oil field sludge treatment station in 2013 and used the physical and chemical combined methods, the oil content of the treatmented oil sludge is less than 2%, moisture content is less than 60%, while the crude oil can be recovered. Xinjiang Fengcheng Oilfield operating area using microbial agents to deal with heavy oil sludge and the test results is very good, sludge oil content from 15% down to 2% below after treatment. The current test has been reviewed by the company.

Hazardous Wastes Management Technologies

Hazardous Wastes Management:Hazardous wastes that need management or disposal may be freshly generated from an industrial operation, they may be old stored chemicals, or they may have been sitting in a dumpsite for many years. At a dumpsite, component chemicals difficult to identify, they are likely to have reacted with one another, and they may have already affected the surrounding soil and water. Land disposal and incineration are two main dumpsite remediation methods. Types of waste treatment include physical, biological, and chemical neutralization or stabilization.

Industries in the United States dispose of about 60% of their hazardous waste using a land disposal method called deep well injection. Liquid wastes are injected into wells located in impervious rock formations that supposedly keep the waste isolated from groundwater and surface water. Unfortunately, hydrogeologists now predict that groundwater flow actually does occur in most previously-designated impervious rock formations, and injected waste often migrates into groundwater reservoirs called aquifers. Other underground burial locations for hazardous wastes include deep mines, natural caverns, and man-made deep pits.

Landfilling is the other primary land disposal method for Hazardous Wastes Management in the United States. Hazardous waste landfills are similar to regular solid waste landfills, but they must meet much higher standards for safety and environmental protection. The EPA requires that most hazardous wastes be treated before being discarded in properly-designed, approved landfills and burial sites.

Incineration, or burning, is a controversial, but still common, method of Hazardous Wastes Management. The EPA estimates that five million tons of hazardous wastes are burned each year in the United States. Various incineration technologies exist for a variety of types of waste. For example, volatile chemicals like paint thinners, oils, and solvents are destroyed by combustion at cement plants whose furnaces, called kilns, reach temperatures of 2,700°F (1,500°C). Needless to say, residents living near cement plants and other hazardous waste incinerators often have concerns about air pollution. In 1993, the EPA tightened its regulations on emissions from most hazardous waste incinerators, including cement kilns, after discovering that the emissions contained like dioxins, furans and other substances that cause cancer and other health problems in humans. Another recent EPA study noted that medical waste incinerators that many hospitals use to burn hazardous wastes also emit dioxins.

Difference between Drilling Waste Management and Solids Control System

Do you know what the important things are for oil drilling fields? Maybe there are two things we should consider, one is how to improve oil drilling work efficiency, and the other one is how to protect the environment around the oil drilling fields. Today KOSUN want to share our ideas about solving the two questions. When we prepare to answer the two questions, we will mention two system: solids control system and drilling waste management.

First, how to protect the environment around our oil drilling fields?

-KOSUN drilling waste management.

Just as we know, with the development of society, people have a strong mind about environment protection; we all know the importance of environment-friendly or eco-environment, we all know the importance to balance the economy development and environment protection, which is the same to our oil drilling works.

KOSUN have researched and manufactured our latest equipment – vertical cutting dryer, which is the core equipment for our drilling waste management equipment (it is also called drilling cuttings management system). Different models could meet your multiple demands in oil drilling works, especially for environment protection during the oil drilling works.Besides the cutting dryers, there are also some other important equipment for the whole drilling waste management equipment, such as decanter centrifuge, screw pumps, sand pump, screw conveyor, mud tank, etc. the whole solids control equipment could be combated together via new technology, and then provide an amazing working results, such as good environment protection.

Second, how to improve work efficiency in oil drilling works?

Generally speaking, there are many ways to reach this goal, at the same time, with the development of oil drilling fields, more and more new products come into our life and work, high quality and high tech to provide a high efficiency oil drilling works. About this question, KOSUN gives our own answer – Solids Control System.

solids control system
solids control system

KOSUN solids control system, which is also called mud system, you can use them in any kind of oil drilling fields. Why I said our solids control system or mud system could solve the problem of work efficiency? The reason is that our solids control system is constituted of high quality solids control equipment, such as mud tank, shale shaker, decanter centrifuge, mud cleaner, shale shaker screen, vacuum degasser, sand pump, etc. Usually, if we just use single solids control equipment, maybe the work efficiency will be lower than our expectation; while if we use newly technology to combine the different solids control equipment together, and test them until working smoothly, we must to say we have reached the goal of improving oil drilling work’s efficiency. That’s why KOSUN Solids Control Systemcould provide you a high work efficiency guarantee.

The above two points are about KOSUN solids control system and drilling waste management equipment, they are two different types system or unit, but they are the same in some extent. You could find the difference between the two systems, while you can also find the similar points between them.

The solids control system/mud system and drilling waste management equipment are the big success for KOSUN, more and more customers and partners choose these two systems used into their overseas oil drilling platforms. Anyway, solids control system and drilling waste management unit are born to improve your oil drilling work efficiency and protect the oil drilling fields environment.

How is Dryer Shaker Working in Drilling Waste Management?

KOSUN develops dryer shaker,vertical cuttings dryer, drying shaker, decanter centrifuge, screw conveyor, screw pump and other first-class high-performance drilling waste management system, taking “zero discharge of drilling waste” as the drilling waste treatment standard.

Dryer Shaker
Dryer Shaker

Hi-g dryer shaker reduces the liquid/oil content drilling cuttings to as low as about 10%(w/w) and recover part of the drilling mud,so that the drilling cost can be reduced and the drilling waste volume can be cut down,for the purpose of reducing environmental pollution.

Hi-G dryer shaker and vertical cuttings dryer can be introduced as drill cuttings usually take away much drilling mud and thus raise drilling cost. Hi-G dryer manages oil content and water content down to 10% from 30% while vertical cuttings dryer lowers oil on cuttings below 5%, to the greatest degree, with small rotary speed and centrifugal filtration. Either of them is effective to recover drilling mud and shrink drilling cost.

In the process of oil and gas drilling, general shallow wells would use water-based mud, and deep wells would use oil-based mud, that makes conventional solids control equipment work effectively on recovery of heavy metal and stone and useful drilling fluid. However, these cutting fluids containing heavy metals and solids (presumably oil content at 12%~18%) would caused great damage on nearby vegetation, soil, groundwater and other natural environment building and human living environment if they are not managed to emissions.

Features of Drilling Waste Management System:

  1. Good Result of Water-based Mud: 6%-10% Water Content.
  2. Overwhelmingly overcomes the difficulty in disposing the waste all or disposing them effectively, which combines the technology brought from Italy with advantages of the same products abroad.

The advantages of Drilling waste management are:

-It is good for the environment and saves energy.

-It reduces the cost of operation as we get to reuse the materials.

In the process of drilling a water or oil hole, the solids that are obtained and the drilling fluid get mixed. This is called drilling waste. This waste must first be separated for proper management.

drilling waste management system
drilling waste management system

After separation of the mixture, the drilling fluid that is obtained can be reused. But for the solids that are obtained, proper measures need to be taken so that there is minimum wastage and no harm is caused to the environment.

The first step is to take care that the waste which is generated is as minimum as possible. This can be done by slightly changing the way, the hole is drilled. That is instead of conventional drilling other drillings options must be considered like;

1] Directional Drilling: Here instead of going directly vertical, drilling is done by taking angles while going down. Its variations are extended reach drilling, horizontal drilling and multiple laterals.

2] Drilling holes with small diameter: Technologies used to obtain holes with smaller diameter are slim hole drilling and coiled tubing drilling.

3] Techniques in which less drilling fluid is required like pneumatic drilling.

The second step is to use those fluids that does not harm our environment. Examples of such fluids are Synthetic Based muds (SBM) that biodegradable, does not accumulate and digs clean holes and has almost no toxicity.

Third is that, the wastes that are obtained must be reused as much as possible. The fluid that is obtained can be reused again as a drilling fluid. The solid cuttings that are obtained can be reused by spreading it on road and preventing road erosion or using it as a construction material.

Lastly, proper care must be taken for those solids that cannot be used and needs to be disposed. For pits may be build or may be dumped as landfills, where another layer of soil or other material.
