GN Vacuum Degasser, Efficient and Economic Solution

In the complete solids control system for the drilling rigs used in oil and gas field, there is an important equipment designed between the shale shaker and the hydrocyclones, which is not the treating equipment, but it is used to help the treating and protection the operators and the efficiency of the complete separation process. It is Degasser, used for discharge the gas bubbles in the drilling mud.
It is located behind the shaker, because the drilling mud fed to the shaker is directly from the well, and such drilling mud contains lot of bubbles, during being treated by the shaker, some bubbles may deleted themselves, and meanwhile, new bubbles may emerge on the shale shaker step. After the shale shaker, the following equipments all need feeding pumps, especially centrifugal pumps. The drilling mud containing the gas bubbles may harm the centrifugal pump, or at least, deduct the efficiency of the pump.
What kinds of Degassers is popular?
Mainly there are two types of Degassers, one kind is designed and provided by US or European companies, they are efficient and welcomed by many end-users in the oil and gas field solids control systems. But they have a clear shortcoming, that it consumes a large amount of electricity, because it needs a large power centrifugal pump for feeding.
In order to avoid the above mentioned shortcoming, Chinese manufacturers designed another kind of degasser, which is vacuum degasser, by using the vacuum sucking force, it could be a  self contain unit and sucks the drilling mud in and do the degassing work. It is as efficient as the US and European ones.

What’s GN’s Advantages?
As the TOP solids control company in China, GN is professional in all solids control equipments not only the vacuum degassers but also all related equipments, including the shaker, degasser and desilter. GN is far ahead of other Chinese suppliers and are competing with USA and European solids control suppliers in many field, including the US market and in Houston.

Mud System Checklist

One of our customers does micro tunneling, and bought a TBM mud system from us. Which consists of double deck shale shaker, desander with under shaker, flocculant unit, and decanter centrifuge.

Here's some checklist, which they concern about.

-        Primary hose and pipes to Flocculant Unit, slurry pump and centrifuge done?

-        Flowmeter (Slurry + Flocculant) reference to electric cabinet and modifying while running with water checked / designed?

(Configurations need to be just like seen on Flowmeters as well as on the PLC)

-        Just how much is being released from the dosing screw each minute?

-        will the flocculant Unit fixed be on the ground?

-        Has got the centrifuge ever run with water at 110 m3/h and pair of.500 revolutions per minute and greatest possible differential speed?

-        will the Ac be installed?

-        will the drain hole be designed for the overflow from the Flocculant Unit?

-       will the PLC screens be enhanced in language? The dimensions (m3/h and l/h) are ok now on the sides?

(I have no screen shots to see if ok)

-    The container ft, the hand railing and steps are marked (where you can place what)

-    The title from the devices is already colored around the containers?

-    The motor for that flocculant pump showed up and it has been built in?

-    The release from the flocculant unit has already been associated with the flocculant pump?

-    The sunshine switch is switched 90o right (connection cable vertical rather than horizontal)

-    Switch for Ac? It ought to be placed close to the light switch.

Whenever you consider the equipment, you've got to be thinking, if this sounds like furniture in my home, am I going to pay? Then more engineering thinking comes, to create all of the mud system much more comfortable

Drilling waste management system created by GN solids control

GN new developed a 2 function system for solids control and drilling waste management. The configuration is really as below:

1 two mud tanks, one for solids control, another frame for drill cuttings treatment, are both 40ft container and 20ft container size

2 solids control mud tank including shale shaker and desilter to split up the large solids collected in the offshore drilling rig.

3 cuttings moving system: we offer screw conveyor, cuttings collection hopper and Peristaltic pump to transfer the drill cuttings (from onshore drilling solids control system and also the first solids control tank) to vertical cuttings dryer.

4 drilling cuttings treatment system including vertical cuttings dryer, shale shaker and decanter centrifuge, feeding pump for shale shaker and decanter centrifuge, an entire skid to place these on the top for simple transportation.

5 frame of 20ft container size with thick felt cloth round the frame to help keep warm in cold temperature.

6 necessary pipelines, pathway, hands rails, man hole, cleaning gate and electric control system.

7 collection box for storage of cuttings, liquids

This technique does apply for drilling waste cuttings from both onshore and offshore, regardless of its treated by solids control system before or otherwise. And you can use it for cold temperature and temperature atmosphere.

The machine can as well be accustomed to clean the drill cuttings gathered for lengthy year’s operation within the mud pit/pool, but we have to analyze your oil based waste first of all by our engineer team. Thanks for visiting connection with GN solids control sales to obtain more particulars of the 2 function system and drawing.

When the drilling cuttings is collected only from onshore solids control system, we'll only suggest the drilling cuttings treatment system with vertical cuttings dryer and decanter centrifuge on a single skid, this will be our traditional design. The benefit of this technique is simple transportation, easy operation, and high end.

Drilling Cuttings Management System

What’s the Drilling Cuttings Waste Management system used for?

After being treated by solids control system, the drilling liquid is recycled to the drilling rig and used for drilling again, or to be saved in liquid mud plants for future use. And the drilling cuttings discharged by the solids control system, which means the shale shaker, desander, desilter or their replacement combination mud cleaner, and decanter centrifuge could not be discharged directly, not only because of environmental laws, but also because of cost cutting. So, it is necessary to further treat the drilling cuttings by means of a Drilling Cuttings Management System.

What equipments make the Drilling Cuttings Management System?

A complete standard GN drilling cuttings system is combined by 3 kinds of components as below:

1.      Treating equipments: for further treating the drilling cuttings, there are mainly 2 stages of separation. 1^st is high-G drying shaker or vertical cuttings dryer. 2^nd stage is a high speed centrifuge for extra fine cuttings.

2.      Equipments for transferring the drilling cuttings. In standard design, there are 2 augers, one for collecting drilling cuttings from solids control system and feeding for the 1^st stage treating equipment, the other is to receiving the solids discharges from vertical cuttings dryer. Also, there is a feeding pump for centrifuge, sometimes it is a submersible slurry pump, or a screw pump.

3.      Storage component, of course, it means tank for conserving the liquid phase from the vertical cuttings dryer and feeding for centrifuge by means of a centrifuge feeding pump.

GN has all such above equipments available, designed and manufactured by GN. Each year, GN sells 10s of such systems to both domestic and overseas customers, among which there are famous companies.

How to Choose Suitable Equipments for a Drilling Cuttings System?

GN is familiar with its own designed equipments, knows its function and efficiency. But which equipments to be chosen mostly depends on the customers’ jobsite condition, the mud condition and etc. Although GNCD930C vertical cuttings dryer is proved to be useful for OBM, SBM and WBM, some customer still prefer high-G drying shaker instead for more competitive price.
