Pit-less system to treat manage drilling mud and cuttings at rig site

GN Solids Control is a leading brand from China for drilling mud solids control equipment, drilling waste management equipment, industry waste management and high quality replacement shaker screens. GN Solids Control major products are pit-less and zero-discharge system with drilling mud solids control and drilling cuttings management equipment, oily sludge separation unit for sludge from different sources, including but not limited to tanks bottom, oil pits, API separators, drilling rig mud system, refinery, tank cleaning, etc.

Many customers who would like to seek some proposals to help them to better manage their drilling cuttings and drilling mud generated from their drilling activity.

Recently, a drilling company contacted GN Solids Control. Their activity is mainly at onshore in a highly populated community area in a Middle East region. Currently their method is to disposed both the drilling cuttings and drilling mud inside waste pits nearby the drilling rig sites. However, the high water table of the groundwater level and current raining season is not helping and is not sustainable to maintain.

Therefore they are seeking for other ideas on how they can better manage the cuttings and mud. If possible, they want something that can help them to expedite the evaporation rate of drilling mud and drilling cuttings.

GN Solids Control recommends their pit-less system. GN shared some layouts for their reference, and helps the client to find out the best solution.
Below some equipment GN Solids Control recommend to the client for the drilling mud and drilling cuttings management to drying the waste and reduce the disposal:

1) Screen vacuum unit. The unit is fixed under your existing shakers to further recover usable mud. Below is the working video:

Heavy duty helical bevel reducer mud agitator for drilling mud system

The helical bevel gear reducer mud agitator is a popular design for drilling mud recycling and mixing systems. It is a kind of heavy duty mud agitator. The mud agitator can be used for the shale shaker tanks, mud mixing tanks, mud storage tanks, intermediate tanks, suctions tanks, pill tanks, etc…

The helical bevel mud agitator adapts Gleason quasi-hyperbolic gear reducer. The helical bevel gear reducer is equipped with hard tooth surface. It is large loading capacity, low noise, long service life and high efficiency.

There is another kind of gearbox for agitators: it is worn and gear agitator. Compared with worn and gear reducer mud agitator, the helical bevel reducer agitator is more heavy duty and reliable, its torque is nearly double than the worn and gear agitator, so the helical bevel agitator can adapts a stronger performance with a smaller motor to reduce power. But the cost of helical bevel agitator is much higher than the worm and gear reducer agitator.

So when you compare mud agitator quotation from different suppliers, please specially payment attention of the technical description on the reducer types.

GN Solids Control can offer both helical bevel mud agitator and worn and gearbox mud agitator with different motor powers. Clients can choose the suitable type per his mud condition and the budget of the project. Or clients can contact GN sales manager to recommend you the suitable type for his project.

Besides mud agitators, GN Solids Control does also offers other processing equipment for drilling mud processing and recycling, like shale shaker, mud cleaner, decanter centrifuge, dewatering centrifuge, mud gas separator, vacuum degasser, mud tanks, … GN Solids Control does also make high quality replacement shaker screens for his own design shakers and also for other famous brand and popular models shale shakers, like for Derrick shale shakers, Swaco shale shaker, FSI shale shakers, Brandt Cobra shale shaker, etc… For other brand replacement shaker screen information, welcome you contact GN team to double check.

WBM dewatering unit for water base mud treatment

GN Solids Control is a leading manufacturing to design and make drilling waste management system especially for drilling field. It includes oil and gas drilling waste mud and disposed cuttings treatment, horizontal directional drilling waste mud treatment, CBM drilling mud and waste treatment, construction, piling and micro tunneling waste water and waste mud treatment.

Recently, a client contact from oil and gas drilling was searching for a water base mud treatment plant to add to their 1500hp drilling rigs. They contacted GN Solids Control sales manager, and asked: Can we still get lab analysis of the disposed water. That will help us in sourcing the water treatment plant coupled to the WBM treatment plant.

But waste water treatment and analysis is a complex process. The client would need to be more specific on what it is exactly they want to analysis for the disposed waste water recovered from the WBM plant and dewatering system. There are something 36 separate tests in lab analysis for water prior to disposal, depending on the scenario.

But mostly clients are not drilling company or mud services company they did not do WBM treatment before. They want to add they system to their rigs, and want something for reference or to show to their management or clients. They know what they exactly want.

GN Solids Control attached 2 projects information for reference to the client. One project is the upfront Lab Tests a client did for a project in Asia, this was to ascertain the best polymers to use for the project. Another reference attached is a lab result for the recovered (after dewatering unit) water, this was performed by the client from the same dewatering project they did offshore in an Asia country. All recovered water was disposed overboard in a busy fishing area for boats. There are photos to show the mud before treatment and recovered water from dewatering unit.
