Oil based Mud Treatment System

Xi'an Tianrui's oil-based mud non-grounding system primarily consists of a waste drying and collection unit, a liquid phase separation unit, and a gel breaking unit for waste mud treatment. Traditional oil and gas drilling sites typically have a simple pool of approximately 1,000 cubic meters, covering an area of 1.2 to 1.5 mu (approximately 1.2 to 1.5 acres), to hold drilling cuttings and waste mud.

During the exploration and development process, in order to keep the mud in excellent performance, a variety of chemical agents need to be added to it. In this way, the mud pool left at the drilling site becomes the "culprit" that is extremely easy to pollute the environment. After most wells are completed, the mud pool is landfilled on site. Oilfield companies across the country have more than 3,000 drilling rigs and drill about 10,000 wells each year. If each well occupies an area of 1.2 acres, 12,000 acres of land will be required, which means that at least 10,000 pollution points will be generated.

To implement the country's 12th Five-Year Plan, Xi'an Tianrui independently developed a mud-free system. This system completely eliminates mud pools and achieves completely harmless treatment during drilling, making its own contribution to environmental protection.

Oil-based mud preparation without dropping to the ground

Oil-based mud does not fall to the ground process

1. Waste drying and recycling unit:

The main process is to transport the waste residue from the solids control equipment to the high-frequency dryer through a screw conveyor. The dryer then separates and removes the large-particle drill cuttings from the solids control equipment (the moisture content of the solid phase can be controlled within 10%). The drilling waste is collected and transported to a low-level tank for buffering and pre-treatment.

2. Liquid phase separation unit:

The mud filtered out of the spin dryer (dryer) is mainly transported to a high-speed variable frequency centrifuge through a centrifuge industrial pump (screw pump) for deep separation. The separated solid phase is collected and the liquid phase is transported to the drilling fluid circulation system for reuse through a liquid sand pump.

Advantages of oil-based mud not falling to the ground

1. The mud pool disappears. With the mud-free system, the residue from mud filtration has very little water content and can be directly transported by truck, eliminating the need for a mud pool. This significantly reduces land occupation, maintains the ecological safety of the soil, and ensures the environmental benefits of land resources.

2. Minimize environmental risks. Drilling waste is processed while drilling, ensuring mud remains on the ground, completely eliminating the potential pollution risks of waste mud solidification. This not only keeps the well site clean but also achieves the environmental goal of "zero emissions." This significantly improves environmental management for oilfield drilling companies.

3. Waste resource utilization. The mud cake produced by solid-liquid separation can be kept dry and hard with a moisture content of less than 20%. This provides inexpensive raw materials for brick and ceramsite plants, and can also be used to regenerate soil through microorganisms, achieving the recycling of solid waste resources and turning waste into treasure.

4. The equipment is modularized and skid-mounted, making it easy to relocate while drilling, adapting to the high mobility characteristics of oilfield exploration and development.
