What are the main equipment of solids control system in drilling

Different mud treatment equipment is used in the solids control system, each with its own unique role.

Mud shale shaker: As the first-level solid control equipment for drilling fluid treatment, its function is to remove other harmful solid particles such as cuttings in the drilling fluid. The drilling fluid uses different numbers of screens to control the size of the particles, which are mainly larger than 74 micron solid phase particles.

Cyclone Separator (Desander, Desilter): Desander is a secondary purification equipment for drilling fluid. Desander is mainly used to remove sand particles larger than 44~74 μm. The desilter is mainly used for tertiary purification of drilling fluid. The micro cyclone can also be selected according to the actual situation of the drilling fluid, which is mainly used to separate the muddy solid phase particles above 2~4 μm.

Drilling fluid centrifuge: The function is to control the clay particles in the well fluid, control the solid phase of the drilling fluid, remove the solid phase content of the non-weighted drilling fluid, and recover the barite in the weighted drilling fluid. The drilling fluid centrifuge mainly acts on the solid phase particles of 2~4 μm.

Vacuum degasser: The vacuum degasser is mainly to remove the gas that invades the drilling fluid, which does not belong to the scope of solids control. However, since gas invasion has great harm to the specific gravity, viscosity performance and density of drilling fluid, degassing devices are usually used.

Oil drilling solids control equipment and solids control system are equipment and systems for processing and recycling the drilling fluid (mud) returned from the wellhead to the surface. The solids control system can effectively separate the large drilling cuttings, barite and other large solid particles from the wellhead back to the surface (mud), and the treated drilling fluid (mud) can be reused. Thus, the cost of drilling is reduced, and it is beneficial to environmental protection.
