GN Solids Control recently completed the delivery of 16 complete packages of drilling mud centrifuge and vertical cuttings dryer systems for an overseas oilfield service company. This project highlights GN’s role as a full-scope solution provider for both solids control and drilling waste management.
Instead of simply supplying individual equipment, GN designed and delivered integrated systems that ensure seamless operation at the drilling site. Each centrifuge package includes a GNLW series drilling mud decanter centrifuge, a heavy-duty lifting stand, and a reliable feeding pump. Together, these components enable precise separation of fine solids from drilling fluids, ensuring that the mud properties are always within the optimal range for safe and efficient drilling.
Meanwhile, each vertical cuttings dryer package provides an end-to-end drill cuttings treatment solution. It features a high-speed GNCD series dryer, a stable support frame, a washing screw pump for screen cleaning, and a discharge conveying system to transport treated cuttings. This modular approach not only simplifies field installation but also ensures quick integration into the customer’s existing operations.
The real impact of this delivery lies in the value it brings to the customer:
Environmental compliance – Cuttings dryers reduce the oil on cuttings (OOC) to industry-accepted levels, which is essential for meeting environmental regulations, particularly in offshore drilling.
Cost efficiency – By recovering drilling fluids from both cuttings and mud, the client reduces mud consumption and waste disposal costs.
Operational reliability – GN’s equipment is manufactured under strict API and ISO quality standards, offering durability and stable performance even in harsh drilling environments.
Simplified logistics – Providing centrifuges and dryers as full systems, rather than standalone units, minimizes setup time and ensures smooth project execution.
This project is also a strong example of GN’s ability to support international partners with turnkey packages. By supplying not just machines but complete engineered solutions, GN helps customers focus on drilling performance while maintaining sustainable practices.
The delivery of these 16 packages demonstrates GN’s ongoing commitment to innovation and global service. With proven success in North America, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, GN Solids Control has established itself as a trusted global supplier of solids control, separation, and waste management equipment.
As oilfield operators continue to face stricter environmental regulations and rising drilling costs, GN’s integrated approach—combining fluid recovery, cuttings treatment, and reliable engineering—ensures customers achieve both operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.
