Drilling Waste Management System for Malaysian Oilfield

TR Solids Control's Drilling Waste Management System has been successfully delivered for Malaysian oilfield project. The system integrates core solids control equipment—including shale shakers, mud cleaners, screw pumps, centrifuges, and screw conveyors.Through efficient mud drying process, it significantly reduces waste emissions while substantially improving drilling efficiency and effectively lowering drilling costs, becoming key contributor to environmental protection projects in Malaysian oilfield.

Wastes from oil and gas drilling are diverse, complex in composition, with some being polluting. Drilling waste mainly includes drilling fluid waste (mud), drill cuttings, drilling wastewater, and other residual waste. TR Solids Control is a leader in drilling waste management, centered on "source reduction + resource recovery." By optimizing drilling processes, reduce amount of waste generated.  Waste with recycling value is reprocessed and reused, such as recycling drilling fluids and reducing production of drill cuttings, achieving closed-loop resource system and improving efficiency.

The TR Drilling Waste Management System deployed at the Malaysian oilfield focuses on efficiently extracting drilling fluid from drill cuttings, cleaning it for reuse. It maximizes drilling fluid recovery and minimizes drilling waste, cutting operators' dual costs of drilling fluid procurement and waste disposal.

For drill cuttings recycling, TR Solids Control's Drilling Waste Management System is categorized into two types—water-based mud non-landing system and oil-based mud non-landing system. Both are designed to boost resource utilization and reduce waste discharge.

1. Oil-based mud non-landing system: Core equipment includes drying shaker, vertical dryer, decanter centrifuge, screw pump, screw conveyor and mud tank. This set of equipment combination is designed based on the characteristics of oil-based mud to achieve deep drying of drill cuttings and oil phase recovery, reducing the oil content of solid waste and meeting environmental discharge standards.

2. Water-based mud non-landing system: It is mainly composed of drying shaker, decanter centrifuge, screw pump/mud agitator, screw conveyor, filter press, mud tank and cuttings box. Through preliminary separation by high-frequency vibrating shakers and precise treatment with decanter centrifuges, the system delivers efficient solid-liquid separation and recycling of water-based mud, while mud tanks provide stable storage for recovered mud.

TR Solids Control's Drilling Waste Management System, with stable performance and strong adaptability, is widely applied in oil & shale gas drilling mud solids control systems, oilfield waste treatment, oil-containing hazardous & solid waste disposal, trenchless HDD mud recovery, municipal mud treatment, coalbed methane drilling mud processing, shield tunneling slurry separation, river dredging projects, and petrochemical solid waste treatment.

As professional manufacturer of mud non-landing equipment systems, TR Solids Control has deepened its commitment to oilfield environmental protection over the years. With rich experience and advanced technology, we deliver integrated solutions for oilfield waste drill cuttings and mud, empowering oilfields worldwide to achieve green, efficient, and sustainable development.
