Decanter Centrifuge: New Component for a Complete Mud Plant

The continuously low crude oil price for the past two years almost affected every company related to the oil and gas industry, especially the drilling companies and oil serve companies. Every economic unit is looking for a practical way to save the money while get the work done. And such trend brought some change when drilling companies or oil serve companies choose the equipment.

In oil and gas drilling practice, more and more drilling companies are using only 3 phase solids control equipment, including shale shaker, desander and desilter, for one thing, it could reduce the drilling companies’ cost if they don’t used the high cost decanter centrifuge, for another thing, the decanter centrifuge is more gentle for operating, only one set of decanter centrifuge may need 2 operators if it need to run around the hour. The drilling company tend to find a specialized mud company or mud station to do this job, for the forth phase separation.

centrifuges

Before, a mud station or mud plant is mostly used to storage the drilling mud, to get the new mud to be ready for new project, or just, to the most, add some necessary chemicals into the well treated mud. That’s why in traditional mind, the mud plant need mostly: 1. Mud tank, 2. Mud agitator, 3. Mud guns, 4. Jet mud mixing hoppers and shear pumps.

But since the change of equipment adoption in drilling companies, more functions are needed for the mud plant to have. Some mud plants now are using decanter centrifuge, it means, the forth phase of mud cleaning system is proceeded in a mud plant. In this way, the drilling companies are cutting the cost while the mud plant may gain more benefit from investing the high standard separation equipment.

Recently, GN has provided several high standard mud plant in this type, for more information, welcome to contact GN directly.

How to reduce the operation cost of a liquid mud plant for oil and gas drilling field

Liquid mud plant is a supporting base for oil and gas drilling rigs. Normally, a liquid mud plant will service some oil rigs nearby. It is essential to keep the liquid mud plant fluently and smoothly. Once there is a urgent request from drilling rigs, liquid mud plant should mix and offer qualified drilling fluids immediately.

Liquid mud plant

Liquid mud plant

Liquid mud plant is mostly used to make oil base mud. Diesel oil is widely stocked and used here as base oil. It has pollution to the environment. Government has strict rules and prohibits any oil leakage to environment.
So there will be a dam around the liquid mud plant to prevent any leakage come out of the liquid mud plant base. In normal conditions, it is ok. But when there is a raining, things will be difficult. As the government has rules, the raining water in the initial 15 minutes within the dam should be treated.
But there is so many difficult to realise it: it is difficult to control the time. which equipment should be used? And should it be processed? The liquid mud plant need to use huge quality of pure water to make qualified drilling mud. Even for the oil based mud, they need to use pure water. It should be a good idea to reuse the rain water for mud mixing. If the rain water can be used to make oil based mud, it will be a big save. The liquid mud plant can save cost on rain water treatment, as well as water for mud mixing.
Another big cost is the storage of old drilling fluids. After some circulation, the drilling fluids will be not qualified for drilling, as there are too much ultra fine solids inside, the mud is weighted. Decanter centrifuge is very important at this stage, It can remove the fine solids inside the old drilling fluids and make it qualified to drilling rigs. The quality of liquid mud plant depends on the mud storage capacity of each liquid mud plant. It the old mud can be treated on time after arrive the plant site, they can save cost on old mud storage.
