Mud System

Drilling mud service contractors around the world are all use the rectangular drilling fluid circulating tank because the installation and migration performance of the system works very well. Meanwhile, no matter how good the mud agitator perform in ideal situation, the drilling fluid tank all have corners that mud agitator’s propellers cannot reach and stir. In order to resolve this issue, install the mud gun in the top of the tank to agitate the far corner of the mud tank.

Mud Gun

GN Solids America LLC’s GNNJQ series Mud gun serve as supportive machinery to the mud agitator.  It comes with nozzle that either made fixed angle or 360 degree ration angles the positive spray-effect distance of mug gun is approx. 3 meters long.   The gun size is related with drilling fluid density, viscosity and nozzle spray speed.  Mud gun is installed the top of mud tank can be need adjusted as need at any time. A mud gun is connected to a motor-pump to stir the drilling mud and prevent the solids from sinking on the bottom of the mud tank. The mud is mixed by being suck- withdraw into a pipe by a powerful pump and inject  back into the mud tank by being pressured push through the nozzle of the mud gun. The process is similar to how jets spray in the dish washer.

 

Drilling mud is a wet mud like substance resembles like thick clay and is used to keep the drill head in controlled-temperature and carry the remnants of drilling cutting to the surface in water and oil or gas drilling operations. The mud is recycled and reused by passing it through several steps of filter and cleaning by screens of the shale shaker or mud cleaner and decanter centrifuge as it is circulated into the mud tanks then back to the drill well on the drilling rig. In order to keep the mud as liquid-liked as possible, a mud gun and mud agitator is used to keep the tank agitated and mixed.  Drilling mud is made by mixing water or oil with a clay-like substance and also other chemicals.

 

Mud tanks are used very often on drilling site to store the drilling fluids and to be used as the base to locate the drilling fluids recycling equipment like shale shaker and decanter centrifuge. GN solids control is a manufacturer specially for drilling fluids recycling equipment, thus the mud tank is one of GN’s main products.

So long you want to reserve the drilling fluids on site, and then you will need mud tanks. The size and structure of the mud tanks would be various according to the drilling depth and drilling type. Some drillers have their own mud mixing system with the rig, thus they can do the mud recycling job onsite, which is very convenient and cost saving. Some other drillers will collect the used drilling fluids and send to a mud plant for separation, after large size cuttings removed, the drilling fluids will be brought back to the rig for reuse. Trailer mounted tank is an ideal choice for these drillers as the drilling fluids could be collected in the tank and very fast to deliver to the mud plant. GN is not good at making such type mud tanks.

While most of GN’s mud tank are skid mounted that could be lifted and dragged on site by crane or truck. This type mud tank is better to be put on site permanently with the rig, whenever the rig would be moved; the mud tanks would be moved.

drilling mud system

For some drilling site with limited space and the driller have the requirements for move the mud tank from one site to another frequently, GN proposed the mud tanks with hydraulic jack-up leg system. At both ends of the mud tank, the jack-up legs are installed to rise the whole tanks and even the equipment on the tank. The legs can open that the flat bed trailer can back in, and then the legs will fall down until the tank be put on the trailer smoothly. At this time, the mud tanks could be transported to other sites.

GN has made mud tank with jack-up legs for many customers coming from oil gas drilling and no dig drilling industry. This is also a very good option for fast moving mud tank design.

GN Solids Control is The far east leading brand of solids control equipment supplier with basic in Beijing, Houston and also Russia. And each month all of us export lots of mud devices for solids control as well as drilling waste management or even mud system to in a different country client and domestic consumers. Recently our company is fully entertained because of lots of project tools are ready for dispatch.

1) Several centrifugal pump for Nigeria client
Nigeria have a lot of oil drilling rigs in addition to oil blocks. Oil sources is rich there and have lots of clients coming from Nigeria who bought decanter centrifuge, drilling waste management straight cuttings dryer, solids control shale shaker, replacement shaker screen etc . from each of our company—GN Solids Control. Just lately, we got some small get from Nigeria who wants to change their old centrifugal sends. And we sell some models of good pump and mud agitator to them.

2) several sets of mud agitator for Egypt clients
The consumer bought this agitator is actually GN old client who have already bought 2 models 500gpm mud cleaning system for their HDD drilling. These are really happy about the mud system high quality and the dependable working performance. The 500gpm mud system is equipped with some panel shale shaker in addition to 4 panel mud cleaner. The shaker screen is actually composite material shaker screen, replacement for Swaco Mongoose shaker screen, with much better performing performance, longer lifetime and fewer maintenance. We also have additional treating capacity mud system for option. Like 200gpm mud system, 800gpm mud system and 1000gpm mud system

3) 2 models shale shaker for UAE client
Good maintenance can help you lots of cost, than shopping for new products. We give train to be able to client and let them to utilize GN equipment to greatest. And recently, we have 1 client wanting to replace the previous shakers for about 3 years. Which is really good. The shale shaker is to update the mud system the client already have over 2 years. The client buy two sets new shale shaker to update their older mud cleaning system and this is usually relative lower cost to continuing the new project. Because of the lower market, many clients want to take budget, save cost is to do more project. We highly recommend client to renew the mud system with new tools, new shaker, new centrifugal pump, new mud cleaner and new agitator. Commonly, the mud tanks last longer time if the regular maintenance is doing each time soon after use.

GN is a top
manufacture of solids control equipment in the world. It could manufacture
various solids control equipment and packaged mud system.

In this article,
we will give a brief introduction about the packaged mud system.

Usually, 1
complete set of mud system should include the following equipment, such as the
Shale Shaker
, Desilter, Desander, Centrifuge, Centrifuge Pumps, Agitators, Mud
Guns, Mud tanks and some other necessary components.

For the mud
systems that manufactured by GN, they are widely not only used in the oil &
gas drilling industry, but HDD industry, coal bed methane drilling, water well
drilling, geothermal well drilling, mining, piling works, tunnel construction,
dredging construction. Sometimes they are also used for treating the industrial
wastewater and executing the solid-liquid separation.

As the mud
system are widely used in different industries and different industries have
different requirements, so there are always little or big differences between
different requirement that used in different industries, such as,

1.Usually the
packaged mud system used in the oil & gas drilling industry is very big,
there are many different solids control equipment installed like shale shakers,
mud cleaners, vacuum degasser, centrifugal pumps, jet mud mixer, agitators, mud
guns. There are many mud tanks for different functions, some tanks will be used
as storage tanks, some tanks will be used as mixing tanks, some tanks will
service for the solids control equipment.

2. The packaged
mud system is small, such as used in the HDD industry and CBM drilling
industry. The system structure will be compact and easily moved and the tank
quantity could be limited and tank volume could be small.

3. GN could
manufacture the customized mud system according to the customer requirements,
such as the specific onsite situation, the condition of drilling fluids, the
desired treatment effect of drilling fluids.
