    The Importance of Solids Control Systems

    Time: 2024-04-26 Source: Author:
    The generation of waste is unavoidable in any construction process. The waste generated by oil drilling mainly includes drilling cuttings, mud and waste gas. How to deal with these products has a great impact on the normal construction of the project, construction cost control and environmental protection. It has a vital impact!

    The use of drilling fluids is an important part of oil drilling technology. Drilling operations involve drilling through various types of formations, such as shale, sandstone and limestone, which produce cuttings that are mixed with the drilling fluids. If not managed properly, these solids can damage drilling equipment, reduce drilling efficiency, and increase drilling costs. Additionally, drilling fluids must be maintained at a specific viscosity to ensure proper drilling operations. Solids control equipment ensures that drilling fluids are properly managed and their performance is maintained, allowing for efficient and effective drilling operations.

    Regarding the oil drilling process, different social work units have different management technologies for waste drilling fluids. The main methods include solid control, on-site disposal, incineration, bioremediation, waste recovery and thermal desorption to implement and manage drilling waste.  Now let’s understand, what is solid control?

    What is solids control
    Waste management using solids control is the process of separating solid particles generated from cuttings during drilling from the drilling mud. Effective removal of solids from drilling mud can significantly reduce the amount of waste generated by drilling operations. A 10% increase in borehole solids removal in deep well drilling could reduce waste by 8,000 to 10,000 barrels. Removing solids from the drilling mud also makes it more suitable for recycling into the system. This increases the importance of solids control for the above reasons.

    solid control system
    Solids control systems (drilling fluid handling systems) include a variety of solids control equipment used to remove waste solids from drilling fluids. These devices include:

    1. Drilling fluid storage and mixing equipment-mud tank.
    2. Drilling fluid power circulation equipment-centrifugal pump
    3. Equipment for removing large solid particles-Shale shaker
    4. Equipment for removing medium-sized solid particles - desander
    5. Equipment for removing small-sized solid particles - desilter
    6. Remove air from mud-vacuum degasser
    7. Barite recovery equipment - decanter centrifuge
    8. Drilling fluid temperature cooling equipment-Mud cooler

    Advantages of Solids Control Equipment
    Solids control systems can double or triple fluid life for efficient drilling operations. By removing unwanted solids from drilling fluids, solids control devices can prevent equipment damage and improve drilling efficiency. In addition, solids control equipment ensures that drilling fluids are maintained at the correct viscosity, preventing blowouts and other safety hazards.

    With the improvement of link regulations, the traditional mud treatment methods of mud dilution and mud dumping have become unacceptable; and the cost is high. Solids control is the best way to make drilling operations and waste mud disposal economical.

    A complete and reliable solids control solution can improve oil drilling efficiency, improve safety and reduce costs.
