What is drilling mud treatment?

Drilling mud treatment, also known as mud or drilling fluid treatment, refers to the process of separating and treating the drilling fluid used in oil and gas drilling operations. Drilling mud is a crucial component in the drilling process, as it serves multiple purposes such as lubricating the drill bit, carrying drilled cuttings to the surface, providing support to the wellbore, and controlling pressure in the formation being drilled.

During the drilling process, the drilling mud becomes contaminated with various solid particles, such as rock cuttings, sand, clay, and other debris. Additionally, the mud can be affected by chemical reactions and changes in temperature and pressure downhole. To maintain its effectiveness and prevent damage to the wellbore, the drilling mud needs to be treated regularly.
HL Petroleum has successfully accumulated rich experience in mud treatment through continuous design, production and application. In the field of mud treatment, the mud treatment system and trenchless mud purification system developed by HL have been widely used in various important scenarios.
