Remote Drilling Difficulties In the remote mountain region of Sichuan province, Sinopec has been drilling on China's largest shale gas field for years. Oil-based drilling mud (OBM) is used extensively to assist in drilling to depths of up to 8,000 m (26,250 feet). ...
When it comes to solids-control equipment, there are many options available to operators, but the most important equipment used in the industry today are shale shakers and decanter centrifuges. The shale shaker is the primary piece of solids-control equipment used on a rig. By industry standards, the quality of the ...
This has been predominantly driven by the fact that the first line of defense, the shale shakers, tend to allow far too many fine solids into the active mud system and the second line of defense, solids control centrifuges, tend to process just 25% of the total mud system circulation rate. ...
“Integrating a high-speed decanter centrifuge with a conventional drilling fluid cleaning system removes ultra-fine solids that traditional shakers and hydrocyclones can’t remove,” said Michael Rai Anderson, P.E., president and chief executive officer of Kemtron Technologies. ...
KEMTRON also offers a rugged and dependable line of shale shakers including the Hyper-G™ Dual Motion Variable Speed Shaker. ...
Shakers are considered the “first line of defense” in a solids control system. ...
Specific to oil and gas production, these are some potential hazard areas: On HVAC air vents of accommodation buildings and personnel areas Driller stand, the shale shaker, and the bell nipple Mud return line receiver tank Crude oil storage tanks, pipes, flanges, and valves Remote well sites at the well heads, the storage tanks, and flare stacks In ...
Consider gas detection near the driller stand, the shale shaker, and the bell nipple. Analyzer buildings take in gases to be analyzed. ...
