Function of Degasser And Centrifuge In Solid Control

Good solids control procedures are often ignored in many oil & gas drilling projects. Many people do not understand very well the basic principles of drilling fluids solids control. They persist that drilled solids are evil & insidious. In a short term, drilled solids increasing generally does not reveal their economic impact immediately, and the detrimental effects are also not immediately obvious on the drilling rig. But in a long term, increasing of drilled solids would generate many problems on drilling rigs. So drilled solids need to be removed at the surface by solids control equipment, such as shale shaker, mud cleaner, centrifuge, etc. to reduce the risk.

Degasser is the equipment used in oil & drilling processing to remove the gases in the drilling fluids. If the gases that generates in the down hole drilling do not remove from the drilling mud, it may cause bubbles, and reduce the performance of other solids control equipment, and also may cause well kick. So to avoid potential problem in drilling, a degasser is a must for the solids control system. While for some shallow well, such as coal bed methane ( CBM ) exploration, or horizontal directional drilling, degasser is not a must.

As one of the most important solids purification units in drilling fluids solids control system, centrifuge is normally mounted at the last stage in the system, to remove non aggravated drilling mud, and can remove the evil solids that is larger than 2 μm, and remove the superfluous colloid in the drilling fluids. and control the fluids viscosity by collecting the barites in the drilling mud. Centrifuge can also collect the liquid phase by recovering the drilling mud that flow through the hydro-cyclone, and Centrifuge is also an ideal equipment to treat oil drilling fluids waste, preventing environmental pollution.
