The waste drilling fluid in the process of oil drilling needs to be treated with the mud zero discharge system

The mud zero discharge system, also known as the drilling waste treatment system, the cuttings mud zero discharge system, and the mud zero discharge mud processing system drilling, is to use the mud zero discharge equipment to screen out the waste in the drilling fluid.

Why should the mud be treated: the waste mud and carryover in oil and gas drilling and urban infrastructure construction, as well as the remaining mud after good completion, all need to be treated to ensure environmental safety. There are generally two types of waste pulp treatment methods: chemical (flocculation, solidification) and mechanical (sand removal, cleaning). However, the most used method in the oil drilling process is the mechanical method, that is, the mud does not fall to the ground system to deal with the waste drilling fluid.

Slurry does not fall to the ground: an important link in waste slurry treatment, which can reduce the oil content of solid particles larger than 0.5mm in the waste slurry to less than 5%, and the water content to less than 15%. The non-floating mud system can effectively control the moisture content (6%-15%) and oil content (2%-8%) of cuttings in the drilling mud, stabilize the liquid phase performance and achieve the purpose of drying the mud without falling.

The composition of the mud zero discharge system: Generally, what we call the mud zero discharge system is mostly composed of mud zero discharge equipment such as mud shale shakers, vertical cutting dryers, and centrifuges. The mud zero discharge system is divided into water-based mud zero discharge system and an oil-based mud zero discharge system according to the application.

KOSUN mud waste treatment system can recycle drilling fluid waste, reduce treatment costs, recycle useful mud or water, realize resource reuse, avoid environmental pollution by waste, and meet local government regulations and requirements. Environmental protection discharge requirements of waste to protect the environment.

With the development of high-temperature and high-pressure deep wells, highly deviated directional wells, horizontal wells and various complex formation drilling technologies, oil-based drilling fluids are used in drilling complex wells, especially in high-temperature drilling due to their excellent inhibition and temperature resistance. The advantage is more obvious in deep wells and water-sensitive formations. There are more and more waste oil-based mud from drilling. It is a complex multiphase system containing mineral oil, phenolic compounds and heavy metals, and its leachate is highly toxic. Oilfield drilling production produces a large amount of waste mud every day. The direct discharge of drilling waste mud will affect the nutritional environment and quality of crop growth.

Reuse of liquid and solid phases after treatment of waste drilling fluid

The drilling industry strictly follows the Environmental Protection Law and regulations regarding waste treatment, and it clearly states that the arbitrary discharge of waste from drilling and completion operations is strictly restricted. So in the process of drilling, we will have some questions, how to deal with the final waste? Where is it used in the end? KOSUN Environmental Protection provides solutions for drilling waste treatment!

The waste drilling fluid treatment system includes: drying shale shaker, screw pump, drill cuttings drying centrifuge, screw conveyor, and other solids control equipment that can be used for mud drying treatment. Among them, the drill cuttings drying centrifuge is the core equipment. We know that in the process of oil exploration and production, the waste will be left on the well site. These wastes are stored in the sewage pond of the well site. If the drilling waste is not treated thoroughly, it may pollute the groundwater and surface water and endanger the surrounding ecological environment.

In the process of waste drilling fluid treatment, it is processed from the source through solid control equipment-dehydration / water treatment / water recycling / filtration-mud recovery-solidification / biodegradation / thermal analysis / drilling cuttings reinjection four major steps. It reduces waste discharge, improves efficiency, and saves a lot of drilling costs. At the same time, in the reprocessing of waste, the dehydration treatment plan is fully utilized, which not only effectively recycles water resources, reduces the water content of discharged waste, reduces the volume of waste, and effectively protects the environment. Finally, the remaining solid wastes are effectively discharged through technologies such as solidification, thermal analysis, and drill cuttings reinjection. At the same time, the solidification treatment is used on land to realize the actual needs of drilling cuttings reinjection on the sea, with strong practicability and high efficiency.

Oilfield Drilling Waste Mud Treatment Equipment

The main equipment of Oilfield Drilling Waste Mud Treatment Equipment includes: drying shaker, drill cuttings dryer, drilling fluid centrifuge, screw conveyor, screw pump, etc. The KOSUN mud non-grounding system can effectively control the drilling cuttings in the drilling mud Water content (6%-10%), stable liquid phase performance, to achieve the purpose of mud drying treatment without falling to the ground.

There are many kinds of Oilfield Drilling Waste Mud Treatment Equipment in oilfield drilling. Each treatment plan needs to be determined according to the drilling site and drilling construction conditions. It must not only achieve the treatment effect, but also meet the national environmental protection requirements, and strive to achieve harmless treatment. It plays an active role in improving and protecting the environment, soil and groundwater.

Drilling waste mud is one of the main pollution sources in the oil and gas industry, and its waste treatment is currently a major problem that plagues oil fields. The Oilfield Drilling Waste Mud Treatment Equipment is to treat waste drilling mud (drill cuttings) immediately while drilling, meeting the requirement of “mud not landing”, reducing land use and environmental pollution.

Oilfield Drilling Waste Mud Treatment Equipment is to change “end treatment” to “full process control”. The waste mud is diluted-flocculated-separated into three parts: rock cuttings, mud cake and water, and the solids in the mud are separated by washing and flocculation. With chemical reaction treatment, the cuttings and mud cakes can reach the discharge standard. After the harmful substances and chloride ions in the mud are separated into the water, they are then dehydrated by vacuum adsorption or extrusion to make mud cakes. At the same time, the mud cakes are separated by centrifugation. The wastewater is concentrated by air flotation sedimentation, filtration system, and reverse osmosis system. After treatment, the up-to-standard wastewater can be reused for drilling recycling.
