Oil drilling mud and solids

June 10, 2011 - PRLog -- The drilling mud main content

1.   Water, including fresh water and, salt water, buck water, saturated brine
2.   Bentonite
3.   Chemicals
4.   Light oil or crude oil
5.   Weighting material including barite
6.   The air or natural gas


The abstract of solid in drilling mud

Drilling mud is circulating fluid during complete well drilling. It is mixed with fluid, solid and chemical. In past long period, we used to call drilling fluid as “slurry”. Actually it’s not exactly right. The solid particle in the drilling mud can be divided into harmful solid and useful solid two parts

The drill cuttings from terrane is the main harmful solid in drilling mud. During whole well drilling the cuttings affect the physical property of drilling fluid, such as increase the density, viscosity, cutting power, dewatering, mud plate, rubbing ability, and flow resistance.

In well drilling process, drill cuttings will shatter oil seam, low down the drill speed, increase the torque of wheel, there will be resistance for down drilling and result viscous drilling, and make well leakage, blowout, etc. complicated situation.

At the same time, drilling cutting solid will give drilling mud recycling system serious abrasion

In order to get rid of the harmful solid we must get deep understanding on drilling mud solid content specifications, features and its effect on well drilling


The relationship between solids and drilling mud

There should be certain content solids in drilling mud no matter the configuration or during the well drilling. In order to get good well drilling we need to treat solids and drilling fluids appropriately.

To keep good performance on drilling fluids while drilling. This requests ideal solution on drilling mud processing system. Of course we need to get ideal proposal on different drilling mud equipments, including first stage, the shale shaker, and subsequent step by mud cleaner, etc.


The configuration and terms on drilling mud

Drilling fluids hold following function: clean the well bottom, bring the drill cuttings out, cool the bit and drill pipe, and make them more smooth, make the mud be plate or pieces, protect the well wall, control and keep ground pressure, suspending cuttings and weighting component, get rid of drill solid, supply the material of ground condition, protect the layer of oil seam, be the power fluid and transfer the water power

After knowing above we can take advantage of drilling mud and solids control well. During oil well drilling, gas drilling, or other drillings we can get better performance also ideal result by control solids among driling mud
