Oil Drilling Solids Control System

Solids control system is the important device when drilling rig drill well to store, allocate, circulating and purification drilling fluid. Usually it is made of drilling fluid tank, shale shaker, vacuum degasser, desander, desilter and centrifuge, the five levels purification equipment. Solids control system is also matched drilling fluid supply device, aggravating hopper, aggravating pump, desander pump, desilter pump, shear pump, provide pump, base oil pump, agitator and auxiliary equipment. Besides, all matched pavement, ladder, railing and safety device. It can efficiency eliminate the harmful solid phase which the particle size is bigger than 5-15um and retain the useful solid phase to provide the quality drilling fluid for drilling working. Solids control system is an indispensible part for every drilling rig. But many newcomers of drilling industry have no idea of the functions of solid control equipment.

The Importances of Solids Control System

All the solids control equipments are so necessary and important, because solids control equipments can provide a circulation system for drilling mud. After the new compounded mud used for the lubrication of the drill bit, it will bring out the particles and be lead to the mud tank, shale shaker, desander, desilter, centrifuge and some other components of drilling solids control system, through which even very small particles can be separated. And then the mud will be filled with some water or added with some kinds of chemicals, through which the mud can be filled back to well again and perform just as new mud. This kind of circulation can provide a sustainable usage of drilling mud, which can save much for the operators. With this system, operators don’t need to purchase large quantity of mud and also don’t need to be worried about the penalties or lawsuits from the environmental departments of the countries where oilfields located.
