Solids control and waste management

June 21, 2012 - PRLog -- Drilling mud, also known as drilling fluid, is a product which is used in the process of drilling deep boreholes. These holes may be drilled for oil and gas extraction, core sampling, and a wide variety of other reasons. The mud can be an integral part of the drilling process, serving a number of functions.http://www.gnsolidscontrol.com/equipments/

1)The solids control technique is often called mud drilling because it uses a flow of water and mud to bring solids out of bore holes and cool the drilling rig equipment.GN solids control provide you with best solutions.

Drilling mud is recirculated throughout the drilling process.This early system of solids control was used as the primary method until the invention of shale shaker in the 1930s. The shale shaker uses a series of progressively smaller screens to filter out cut materials from drilling fluid. Operating on the same principle as the sorting machines used the gravel mining industry, the shale shaker removes debris from drilling fluid using gravity and vibration. As the drilling mud passes over the shaker table, the vibrations cause the larger cuttings to shake out of the solution.

The shale shaker is often paired with another piece of mining equipment called the hydrocyclone. The hyrdrocyclone is used in the solids control process to filter drilling fluids by centrifugal force.

2)Some drilling waste cuttings are being beneficially reused. Before the cuttings can be reused or recycled, it is necessary to follow steps to ensure the hydrocarbon content is lowered within the governing bodies standards for reuse.

Some environmental problems have been associated with drilling waste.These chemicals can pollute the environment , generating a variety of environmental problems,GN drilling waste management system equipment provide you with best solution .http://www.gnsolidscontrol.com/drilling-waste-management/
