Shearing mixing hopper and jet Mud Mixing System for drilling mud system

Jet mud mixing system is a normal and necessary part of most kind of drilling mud systems and liquid mud plant (LMP). It is used to prepare new mud and qualified mud, and service for drilling activities. The mud mixing system can be used to mix oil based mud (OBM), water based mud (WBM), as well as synthetic based mud (SBM).

Jet mud mixing system is actually a combination of mixing pump, mixing hopper and control panel. All of them connected by pipelines, they can be mounted on the tank separately per tank layout. They can also be mounted on the same skid as a complete unit.

The jet mixing hopper is also called shearing hopper. It can be mounted on different position of the mud cleaning system for different purpose.

Centrifugal pump is the most popular pump model for jet mud mixing system. Another pump model is shearing hopper. Clients can choose motor drive mixing pump, or diesel engine drive mixing pump, to meet for different demands.

Different position of jet mixing hopper for mixing system

1) The jet mixing hopper can be mounted on the top of the mud tank. Advantage of the tank top hopper is easy for mixing chemical as the gravity. But you should to consider lifting of the chemicals. Sometimes, it is even 1 ton big bag. you should consider the necessary device to help for the chemical lifting. Operation table and crane cradle is the popular way to service for it.

2) The normal way is to put the shearing mixing hopper on the tank skid, next to centrifugal mixing pump. The mixing performance may not as good as on the tank top, but also acceptable. And it is easier for the chemical lifting.

3) Another way for the shearing hopper is on a separate skid with centrifugal mixing pump and control system. The complete is in a separate skid. It is more flexible for application. Users is easy to more the mixing unit from one jobsite to another jobsite, or move it from one tank for another.

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

1 Reply

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 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 relies it: it is difficult to control the time. which solids control equipment should be used? And should it be processed? The liquid mud plant need to use huge quality of pure water to make qualified 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 system . 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.

As more and more countries start to control the drilling waste and improve the standard of waste discharge in oil and gas drilling field, drilling waste management becomes more and more popular and important. Many companies have to or want to start their business for drilling waste management. But many clients do not have experience on it. They do not know how to choose the suitable equipment or systems for their activities.

As a worldwide famous brand on mud solids control and drilling waste management, GN Solids Control start its research and development department for drilling waste management and industry waste management for many years. Below is a brief introduction of normal drilling waste management equipment to help the users make decision.

1) High G drying shaker.

It is also named High G dryer, cuttings dryer. It utilizes high G force up to 8.0G to dry the cuttings. If there are big particles in the solids waste, high G shaker is requested. It can remove big size solids and even metal particles. The high G shaker can remove solids above 100 microns.

It is mainly used to treat the water base mud and water based mud cuttings. It can also be used for oil based mud treatment in some cases.

When the high G drying shale shaker is used to treat oil based mud and cuttings, it can only reduce the oil on cuttings (OOC) to 10 ~ 15%.

2) Vertical cuttings dryer

It is also called vertical centrifuge or vortex dryer. It utilizes centrifugal force up to 420G to separate the fine solids and recovery the usable drilling fluids. The screen opening of VG dryer is 0.5mm, 0.35mm and 0.25mm. It cannot allow big size sizes solids or metal particles; otherwise, it will be broken.

Vertical cuttings dryer is mainly used for oil base mud and cuttings. It can reduce the oil on cuttings to 3 ~ 5%. In this case, the solids discharge is on a very dry condition and it is easy for shipment. And the solids with 3~5% OOC can be discharged directly in many countries. If not, it is also easy for next treatment.

3) High speed centrifuge and big bowl decanter centrifuge

It utilizes the high centrifugal force to separate the very fine solids to 2～5 microns. It is used after high G shaker and vertical cuttings dryer, for further separation.

There are many other equipment used for drilling waste management, we will introduce in next file.

Substantial Configuration HDD Mud System with Centrifuge Unit to get Heavy Mud

Leave a reply

Most of the apaisado directional mud cleaning system is not really equipped with decanter centrifuge unit as using the 3-phase separation system which include shale shaker, de-sander and de-silter unit, it can work sufficient for removing the solids from drilling fluids. Centrifuge is relative high cost, also is a reason the drilling company doesn’t equip it inside mud system.
However , for many high request drilling situation, the driller may use often the heavy mud for a great deal better drilling performance. Sometimes the particular drillers add the selected chemicals to make the drilling mud heavier so that the mud can certainly better protect the walls of the drilling hole. In case the driller went to drill an additional well, the heavy compounds need to be separated, and then typically the centrifuge could be used to do this kind of job. In some other circumstances, after many times recycling in the drilling mud, there is considerably ultra fine solid allergens that cannot be removed from the shale shaker and cyclone model, and then the centrifuge model is needed.

GN Solids Control possesses nearly 10 years in making the drilling mud system for HDD projects. This manner mud cleaning system must be compact structure and easy intended for transportation. See the picture on this page, both the de-sander and de-silter unit are equipped with under stream shaker for drying typically the discharged solids. The shale shakers used are 2-layer screen design. The bottom layer screen is used as primary shaker and upper layer screen to dry the discharges out of your cyclone units. This style greatly reduces the impact of the mud system. And all sorts of mud tank top surface equipment tend to be pre-installed on a frame using same base dimension while storage tank.
