Mud off the ground is the key to drilling waste treatment
 

Mud off the ground is the key to drilling waste treatment.It is the result of the improvement of the drilling process, replacing the traditional mud pool, reducing the pollution of the drilling environment and improving the necessary methods for environmental protection. The current mud failure includes water-based mud failure and oil-based mud failure. The two methods of mud not landing are determined according to the mud treatment system adopted by the drilling.

 

Mud is also a drilling fluid, which is used to lubricate the drill bit, cement the well wall and cool down during the drilling process. In the whole drilling process, mud is of great significance to reduce drilling accidents and improve drilling efficiency. Generally, water-based mud systems and oil-based mud systems are mainly used in drilling sites. When matched with the mud system, there is a distinction between oil-based mud and water-based mud.

 

 

Oil-based mud does not land on the ground mainly for directional wells and ultra-deep wells. Directional wells and ultra-deep wells require an oil-based mud system to prepare the mud. The oil-based mud contains expensive diesel or white oil, and the oil-based drilling solids control system treats the oil-based mud. If the drilling cuttings still contains oily mud, if the mud is not treated on the ground, it will cause mud waste and increase drilling costs.

 

Water-based mud does not fall to the ground mainly for shallow wells. Water-based mud is mainly prepared by adding chemicals or industrial salt to the soil. The solids control system uses water-based mud drilling system. The drilling waste generated by the water-based mud drilling system also contains effective mud. Disposal will also cause waste of mud, which needs to be recycled without mud disposal.

 

However, if the mud does not fall to the ground, a lot of drilling mud, especially oil-based mud, is directly saved through the secondary filtration and recovery of drilling waste. Therefore, mud does not land in drilling solids control and drilling waste treatment is the key equipment and system.
