Introduction to Oil Drilling Solids Control Systems The solids control system uses a manifold to systematically connect four levels of separation equipment (shale shaker, degasser, desanding, desilting, and centrifuge), security equipment, and auxiliary equipment based on their separation effects. 1. Primary Separation (Shale Shaker) Drilling fluid carrying drill cuttings, held by a mud tank, first […]

Mud tanks are indispensable equipment in oil drilling. The purpose of the drilling equipment’s surface fluid handling system is to provide sufficient treated drilling fluid for drilling operations. The drilling fluid circulation system must have enough space to handle and balance the drilling fluid above the suction line, thus ensuring the wellbore fills with fluid

What is a shale shaker in oil and gas? Shale shakers are fundamental equipment in the solids control system of drilling fluids in the oil and gas industry. They primarily separate solid particles (such as cuttings or mud) from drilling fluid to maintain its integrity and efficiency and protect downstream equipment. Core Functions Solid-Liquid Separation:

Solids control equipment is a key piece of equipment used in drilling engineering to separate solid particles from drilling fluids. Its main purpose is to remove harmful solid phases and preserve useful solid phases to meet the performance requirements of drilling processes for drilling fluids. Core Functions: Reducing drilling torque and friction, minimizing annular pressure

In the raw material procurement process, you must select steel strictly according to GB/T 700-2006 standard to ensure mechanical properties, such as yield strength and tensile strength, meet the standards. You must select timber according to LY/T 1574-2016 standard to ensure the material is dry and free of obvious defects. In the steel cutting process,

How thick are rig mats? The thickness of drilling rig mats varies depending on the specific model and application: Common Thickness Ranges Drilling Rig Mats (Steel-Wood Foundation): Thickness is typically between 160mm and 200mm. For example, HL Petroleum’s HGM5218 is 160mm, and HGM3220 is 200mm. Wood Preservative Treatment: The wood must be impregnated with oil
