How To Effectively Deal With Drilling Waste？

How to effectively deal with drilling waste？KOSUN gives you the answer!

Drilling waste/mud is one of the major sources of pollution in the oil and gas industry. Due to engineering requirements, drilling mud is often mixed with substances such as oil, water, and organic clays. In recent years, the use of oil-based mud, water-based mud, and composite-based mud has increased, leading to escalating costs and environmental pollution issues.

The emergence of mud treatment systems has successfully addressed the challenge of inefficient and environmentally friendly treatment of drilling waste. The main processing process of Xi’an KOSUN’s drilling waste treatment system refers to the harmless treatment of drilling waste from the wellhead before landing. The waste mud in the waste mud pool can also be diluted and then classified and utilized for treatment, realizing the mobilization of drilling environmental protection devices. Mud that has been effectively treated can be reused, reducing frictional resistance, lowering accident rates, and improving wellbore quality.

Drilling cuttings treatment method:

Different from traditional methods, the mud system transforms the treatment of waste mud from “end-of-pipe treatment” to “whole-process control”. The waste mud is diluted, coagulated, and separated into cuttings, mud cakes, and water. Solid substances in the mud are treated through washing, coagulation separation, and chemical reaction to meet discharge standards. Harmful substances and chloride ions in the mud are dissolved into the water, which is then dehydrated into mud cakes by vacuum adsorption or squeezing. Meanwhile, the centrifugally separated wastewater undergoes concentration treatment through flotation sedimentation, filtration systems, and reverse osmosis systems. The treated wastewater meeting standards can be reused for drilling circulation.

Steps for drilling mud waste treatment:

Waste materials separated from drilling waste, such as cuttings, can be purified, dried, and recycled as concrete materials.

The mud water produced from washing cuttings can be chemically treated, destabilized, coagulated, and separated into mud cakes, which can be mixed with clay or shale in proportion for brick making.

The separated filtrate undergoes pretreatment processes such as destabilization, coagulation, flotation, oxidation, and adsorption filtration to remove major pollutants. It can be used for oilfield reinjection, safe strata reinjection, or discharged up to standards. After treatment by the sewage treatment system, wastewater can achieve standard discharge.

Considerations for drilling mud waste treatment:

Xi’an KOSUN’s drilling waste treatment system is the only environmentally friendly device in China that truly achieves harmless and green treatment of drilling waste mud, combining the most advanced mud purification and drying treatment technology at home and abroad, and after three years of research and multiple improvements and upgrades. The use of the mud treatment system eliminates the need to transport solid waste from the wellsite for centralized treatment, saving transportation costs and processing space, and making environmental protection efforts more effective.

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.

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.

How to Optimize the Performance – Drilling Waste Decanter Centrifuge

Drilling Waste

A centrifuge is a device that works on the concept of centrifugal force. The centrifuge makes an object rotate around its own fixed axis, making a circular motion at a very high speed. A decanter centrifuge does the work of separating the mixture of solid and liquid in industries.

In a decanter centrifuge , when the mixture if fed, the centrifuge is rotated at a very high speed. As the centrifuge spins in a circular motion, perpendicular force is exerted on the mixture. This causes the denser substance in the mixture to move out in a radial direction, that is, towards the surface of imaginary circle, while the substance that is less dense moves inside radially, that is at the center.

In drilling waste management in industries, this process helps in separating solids from liquids like oil, so that the oil can be recycled and reused, thus protecting our precious natural oils.
As a decanter centrifuge is used in many industries like Food Processing industries, oil industries, waste water treatment plants and chemical industries , it is very important to optimize its performance so that there is minimum wastage and maximum efficiency.

Criteria for improved performance of drilling waste decanter centrifuge:
   Before feeding the mixture to the decanter centrifuges , the mixture should preferably fed to a shale shaker. This shale shaker will separate big solids from the mixture. Then the resulting mixture must be fed to the decanter for further filtration. This will reduce the wear and tear of the decanter.
   Right amount of centrifugal force must be applied.
   The Speed of the decanter must be optimal so that the solids in the mixture are safely transported out of the machine.
   The decanter centrifuge is prone to abrasion as the solids in the mixture may rub against the walls of the device. So proper care must be taken by using abrasion resistant material especially at the input zone and at the solid output zone.

What is Important Equipment in Drilling Waste Management?

Drilling Waste management

Drilling waste management entails all processes and precautions required or recommended to ensure a safe environment. Drilling waste contains spent fluids and drilling cuttings that result from the drilling process. The spent fluids and drilling cuttings that are referred to as drilling waste have no use in the ensuing drilling process therefore must be disposed of.

However drilling waste treatment requires that the set environmental management standards and regulations are adhered to for the maintenance of a safe environment and also in order to avoid legal disputes and penalties.

Drilling waste management system therefore is concerned with using materials, substances and facilities in the drilling process that minimize drilling waste while at the same time employ proper disposal of waste in a manner that reduces toxicity.

Cuttings dryer is a core equipment in drilling waste management because it enhances environmental protection. Designated to meet the strict environmental conditions and guidelines imposed on disposal of cuttings and work site, it utilizes high-speed decanter centrifuge which optimizes liquid and solid separation in high volume processing.

The cutting dryer has the following characteristics
•   Rational structure built into the bedplate that adjusts and balances the distribution of vibrating motion.
•   Enhanced protection of spare parts with wear proof measures which include use of stainless steel for mesh screen and spiral scraper to guarantee long service life.
•   The torque sensor which helps regulate the motor in case of overload in operation thus ensuring reliable operation.
•   Viewports on cone header and bedplate making it easy and convenient to inspect and maintain the screen mesh and spiral scraper.
•   The equipment uses centralized lubrication station which facilitates ease of flow of lubricant to machine parts and reduces damage due to poor lubrication.

The cutting dryer is a welcome and indispensable aspect of waste management, designed with respect to maintaining a safe environment.

drilling waste treatment

Drilling waste water is one of the main pollution sources of oil exploration enterprises. In the process of drilling, the treatment measures and effects of drilling wastewater are directly related to whether the drilling technology is reasonable in technology and economy, and it is also a major problem to avoid the impact on the surrounding agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery.

Waste water treatment process of new ideas, the development of new wastewater treatment process is a new process of environmental protection workers in the oil industry’s top priority.

Most of the major domestic oilfield treatment of drilling waste water using chemical coagulation treatment after discharge. Because coagulation can only remove the colloidal or suspended particulate contaminants in the water, and little effect on some of the mud treatment agents that have already formed the solution. This is also the main problem with the use of chemical coagulation methods to deal with the existence of drilling wastewater.

Drilling waste management , the current can not be separated from the chemical coagulation of this part of the successful development of drilling wastewater treatment of pharmaceuticals, is the key to solve the treatment of drilling wastewater. Chemical coagulation is the traditional process of drilling wastewater treatment.

Drilling wastewater treatment process has not been a new breakthrough, to explore the new drilling wastewater treatment process is another study of drilling wastewater treatment.

Drilling Waste Treatment Importance Equipment from Kosun

Drilling Waste treatment

Drilling Waste Treatment Equipment With the development of the oil industry, the pollution problems caused by drilling are also getting more and more attention.

China’s oil field per year only drilling production of waste drilling fluid produced about more than 900,000 cubic meters, of which one-third of the discharge to the environment, the environment and stratigraphy have caused varying degrees of pollution. Drilling pollution is mainly based on waste drilling fluid and waste water pollution.

Drilling produces waste, including waste drilling fluids, diamond cuttings with drilling fluids, simply a mixture, such as excess cement, isolation fluids and other fluids. The amount of drilling waste is determined by a number of factors including the size of the wellbore, the efficiency of the solid-controlled equipment, the solid-phase capacity of the drilling fluid, the ability of the drilling fluid to inhibit the dispersion of the cuttings, and the amount of drilling fluid remaining on the cuttings.

The percentage of solid phase in the waste drilling fluid varies from 50% to 25% of the maximum. There is always a certain amount of drilling fluid with the cuttings together with the waste, no matter how good the solid control equipment, drilling fluid can not be separated from the cuttings. If these effluents are discharged, they will cause significant pollution to the environment.
Abandoned drilling mud pollution of the environment, in essence, waste drilling mud in the liquid phase of the environment pollution, vertical cutting，liquid reuse as a resource recycling as an important means of waste disposal.

In response to this issue, Tsunami Oil conducted a three-year repeated research and experiment, through a different treatment process, successively in Xinjiang Tarim Oilfield, Daqing Oilfield and other drilling waste management equipment on-site construction, Solid phase to meet the national requirements of the emission standards, most of the liquid phase as a slurry base for the re-use of resources, only a small amount of liquid after the depth of treatment after the standard discharge or re-injection.

A large extent to reduce the production costs of drilling fluid, but also to achieve the energy-saving emission reduction, the purpose of safety and environmental protection.

Drilling Waste Management

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 equipment including: Vertical Cuttings Dryer(

Vertical Centrifuge), D Series Decanter Centrifuge , Screw Pump……

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.

Kosun Drilling Waste management — Drilling Waste Management

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.
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.
