What is the difference between solid drilling control and mud retention?

Drilling solid control system is a slurry pulping system for drilling rig, which is mainly used to control and manage the mud performance in the drilling process, and provide the necessary lubrication and cooling conditions for drilling operations.
Mud not landing is the back-end equipment of drilling solid control system, which is mainly used to deal with the abandoned drilling cuttings after the drilling solid control system.

  1. Drilling solid control system

Drilling solid control system is a slurry mixing and pulping system for drilling rig, which is mainly used to control and manage the mud performance in the drilling process, and provide necessary lubrication and cooling for drilling operations.

  1. Definition and function

The drilling solid control system mainly controls the key parameters such as the specific gravity, viscosity and sand content of mud by means of pulping and mixing. This system includes pulping equipment, pulping equipment, and corresponding control systems to monitor and adjust mud performance in real time to ensure that it meets the needs of drilling operations.

Step 2: Importance

The importance of drilling solid control system is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

(1) Improve drilling efficiency: By controlling mud performance, drilling tools can be lubricated and cooled effectively

(2) Ensure drilling safety: Reasonable mud performance can effectively control the bottom hole pressure, prevent blowout, leakage and other accidents, and ensure the safety of drilling operations.

(3) Environmental protection: by controlling the sand content and other parameters of the mud, the generation of waste can be reduced and the pollution to the environment can be reduced.

Second, the mud does not fall system

Mud not landing is the back-end equipment of drilling solid control system, which is mainly used to deal with the abandoned drilling cuttings after the drilling solid control system. Through scientific and technical means, the system realizes the reduction, resource and harmless treatment of waste, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the environment and saving resources.

  1. Definition and function

The slurry non-landing system mainly adopts the technical means of solid-liquid separation, dehydration, drying, etc., to carry out harmless treatment of abandoned drilling cuttings. The system can recycle the useful components in the waste, reduce the discharge of waste, and achieve the purpose of protecting the environment. At the same time, the system can also be used for the treatment of waste resources, such as backfill, brick and so on.

Step 2: Importance

The importance of mud non-landing system is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

(1) Environmental protection: reduce pollution to the environment and protect the ecological environment by treating waste drilling cuttings.
(2) Resource utilization: the useful components of waste are recycled
(3) Economic benefits: Through scientific and technical means, reduce the cost of waste treatment and improve the economic benefits of enterprises.

Three, the difference between the two

To sum up, although drilling solid control and mud not landing are important links in drilling engineering, their roles and objectives are different. Drilling solid control is mainly through the control and management of mud properties to ensure the smooth progress of drilling operations; The mud is mainly through the disposal of waste drilling cuttings to achieve environmental protection, resource utilization and economic benefits. Therefore, there are differences between the two in terms of equipment, technology and management. However, they depend on each other and cooperate with each other in drilling engineering, and make contributions to ensure the smooth progress of drilling operations.
