Drilling Mud System
The Drilling Mud System, often referred to as the solids control system or mud circulation system, plays a pivotal role in oil and gas drilling operations. This multi-tank system is designed to cater to a variety of drilling rig sizes, ensuring optimal capacity for each.
Description and Operation
The Drilling Mud System is a vital component of the drilling setup, incorporating equipment and subassemblies that efficiently execute operations as mandated by drilling technology, focusing on the drilling fluid.
The system's organization ensures a sequential processing of the drilling fluid, enabling its restoration to the required characteristics for drilling. This process employs:
- Cleaning: Using shale shakers.
- Degasification: Deploying a degasifier with its pump.
- Preparation: Utilizing the preparation group.
- Storage: Via shaker tanks (Tank 1 and Tank 2) or the primary storage tank (Tank 3).
- Circulation: Achieved through shaker tanks, storage tanks, and an array of manifolds and connection systems.
