Commonly used Drilling Fluid Treatment Process

Nowadays, the commonly used drilling fluid treatment process is as follows: firstly pump out into the liquid-gas separator in the drilling, degas in the liquid-gas separator, then enter the drilling fluid shale shaker to treat the larger particles of drill cuttings, and then enter the secondary solids control equipment mud cleaner, and the drilling fluid that meets the standard mesh is passed into the mud tank through the vacuum deaerator for use. According to different requirements, there may be mixing equipment in the middle. The processed drilling fluid can be stored in the mud tank for drilling use.

Drilling fluid plays an important role in oil drilling and horizontal directional crossing. The quality of drilling fluid directly affects the progress of oil and gas field development and the quality of oil and gas fields. The processing of drilling fluid affects the quality of the mud.（ drilling fluid treatment process ）

Drilling from the surface to the completion of the drilling can be roughly divided into three layers, namely the surface soil layer, sand layer and rock layer. Therefore, there are water, mud, sand, rock salt, and barite powder and oil for blowout prevention in the drilling circulating mud. That is to say, the circulating mud fluid contains mud in the early stage, sand in the middle stage, and rock salt and barite powder and oil in the later stage. If drilling in an oilfield or water injection area, the mud fluid will contain various injection agents due to the mixing of interlayer water injection fluid. Therefore, it is very necessary to use drilling mud fluid without landing environmental protection treatment equipment. Drilling circulating mud fluid will pollute soil and water quality, affect the growth of animals and plants, and endanger human health.

The land-based skid-mounted oil-based mud treatment system for oil and gas fields manufactured by KOSUN adopts a multi-functional design, so that the entire solids control system can meet the requirements of different well depths and various drilling muds. Each treatment device can operate independently, It can also be operated jointly to make the oil-based drilling mud meet the safety discharge standard after treatment, realize the mud treated at different stages of drilling and realize the purpose of saving land, saving energy and reducing consumption, and improving efficiency.

The treatment of drilling waste is to control the water content of drilling cuttings in drilling mud.

The treatment of drilling waste is to control the water content of drilling cuttings in drilling mud, stabilize the performance of liquid phase, and achieve the purpose of dry treatment. The liquid phase can be used for secondary injection without destroying, so that the enterprises can expand the drilling scale without environmental protection worries.

The use of drilling mud not landing system eliminates the direct digging and circulating pool, reduces the land use, reduces the related costs, and reduces the workload of well crew. More importantly, once the system is put into use, it can not only realize harmless treatment of drilling mud and solid waste, but also recycle both of them, which is environmentally friendly and energy-saving. Mud pollution to the environment will be largely eradicated, so as to create a “green” logo, oil drilling exploration field to create greater social and economic benefits.

Solid liquid separation and waste residue recovery stage: drilling mud through the elevated manifold into the mud vibrating screen to remove large solid particles, and then sand pump pumping treated mud into the desander, desilter to remove sand and mud, mud treatment in the mud, the treated mud into the mud tank for further treatment.

Analysis of Resource Utilization of Sludge

KOSUN is a professional company that provides solid-liquid separation products and integrated solutions to solid waste disposal in the fields of energy conservation and environment protection, and focuses on development and services of complete technologies and equipment in sludge reduction, harmlessness and resource utilization. The sludge treated by KOSUN vertical centrifuge can be used as various resources in the following fields:

1. Agricultural resource utilization of sludge
If the sludge is used for agricultural purposes, it has the advantages of low operating cost, low energy consumption and low investment, and the organic part in sludge can be converted into the modifier component in the soil, so this utilization way is taken as the most promising disposal method.

2. Building materials utilization of sludge

2.1. Cementitious materials utilization of sludge
For sludge, it often contains more ash, especially in the treatment of sludge in wastewater by coagulation method, which contains a lot of Fe and Al components, and can be used as additives of building materials.

2.2. Sludge ceramsite
For lightweight ceramsite, it is usually used as a flower covering material or as a concrete aggregate and roadbed.

2.3. Sludge brick
Relevant researches show that sewer sludge can be used to make ecological bricks used in construction. This kind of brick is actually made by the following process: 10% sludge is mixed into the clay and then fired at 900°C, which can optimize the effect.

3. Animal feed utilization of sludge

Sludge contains lots of corresponding substances with many useful values, such as ash content ratio of 26.1% to 46.3%, fatty acids of 0 to 3.5%, and crude protein of 28.4% to 40.8%. Therefore, it can be treated as feed protein.

4. Sludge as fuel

The sludge itself is rich in organic matter. After low-temperature carbonization of sludge, the calorific value is equivalent to lignite, so the sludge can be used as fuel with a low calorific value.

If the sludge is not treated and is directly discharged into the environment, it will be seriously harmful to the surrounding environment. After the sludge is treated harmlessly, stabilized and reduced in volume, it can be used as a valuable resource in many fields.

IEA: An acute shortage of global fuel oil supply will continue in next two years

The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that fuel oil supply is expected to face an acute shortage before 2020 when sulfur limit for marine fuel is set due to upgrade in refinery and a decline in medium and heavy crude oil production. According to the new regulations of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), by January 2020, the highest proportion of marine fuel sulfur will be reduced from the current 3.5% to 0.5%.

The IEA says, since November last year, due to the OPEC and non-OPEC (such as Russia) production reductions, the global production of medium and heavy crude oil has dropped by 1.4 million barrels per day, reducing the residual fuel oil market by 500,000 barrels per day. In the fourth quarter of last year, global demand for residual fuel oil was 6.74 million barrels per day, declining by 2.2% year-on-year.

The IEA states that the reduction in global crude oil supply is narrowing the profit margin of complex refineries comparing with simpler ones, which in turn leads to the disappearance of advantages of complex refineries. The increasing strengthening of fuel oil cracking in the past five months has made upgrades less feasible.

Mixing and Grouting Plants, Mixing and Grounting Units and Stations

Mixing and Grouting Plants

Mixing and Grouting Plants or Mixing and Grouting unit（Mixing and Grouting Plants stations）are used in separation step during different projections, such as soil nails, tie-backs, soil mixing, jet grouting, grout compaction, vertical tie downs and injection grouting. Slurry obtained from field is not in its pure form.

It is usually mixed with particles and different liquids. Thus separation of these component in mixing and grounting plants is necessary. Kosun made system also give App end and PC control end to easily control the whole running.

Mixing and Grouting Plants
Mixing and Grouting Plants

For detailed phares in mixing and grouting plants(mixing and grouting units),the Separation of projection mud is done by the system which is an physical speparation flow.

Mixing and grounting stations

This Separation process is carried out by passing the slurry through an Separation. Mixing is brought in contact with the slurry at this time. High proportions of solids is scattered by shakers.

This process can be modified for extraction of specific slurry to increase its effectiveness. Extraction of other heavier slurry is up to 100% with use of this process. However for lighter solids, it is not an ideal process.

Mixing and grounting units

By the end of this process in mixing and grouting plants, 90 – 95 % of mud is obtained from the slurry stream. Move over, some energy is used to convert slurry from complex components into resuable slurry from by centrifuging it.

This decreases the cost associated with extraction of ethane from effluent. Thus separation of slurry from solids in mixing and grounting plants not only makes them pure and clean for use but also helps in obtaining valuable solids itself.

Fully understanding of the above detailed information will be hard, its a little bit different with TBM Separation plants or mine tailings treatment plants, but the real application case of the mixing and grounting plants is increasing the numbers day by day, some companies like Kosun from China have paid their attention on the related mechanics research. The performance is good, but still many progress can be achieved in the recent time. in the recent time.
