GN Solids Control has recently completed the delivery of a new package of drilling mud centrifugal pumps and shear pumps for a long-term client in Europe. The order highlights both the client’s trust in GN equipment and the growing demand for high-efficiency, low-maintenance fluid transfer and mixing solutions in European drilling and workover operations.
The supply package includes GN’s GNSB Series drilling mud centrifugal pumps as well as GNJQB Series shear pumps, both designed to meet stringent performance and reliability standards required by modern drilling contractors. These pumps will be integrated into the client’s mud circulation and mixing system, helping optimize mud properties, improve solids control efficiency, and enhance overall drilling performance.
The GNSB centrifugal pump is one of GN’s most widely used products in the drilling sector. Built with thickened wear-resistant casings, replaceable expendables, and high-chromium alloy impellers, the pump ensures long service life even when handling abrasive drilling fluids. Thanks to its fully interchangeable design with major international pump brands, the GNSB pump offers easy maintenance, simple part replacement, and minimal downtime. The pump is capable of delivering steady flow for desanders, desilters, mud cleaners, charging systems, and mud transfer operations.
In addition to centrifugal pumps, the client also selected GN’s shear pump to enhance drilling mud mixing quality. The GNJQB shear pump is engineered to provide extremely high shearing force, quickly breaking down bentonite particles and polymer chains to reduce hydration time and improve material dispersion. This results in faster mud preparation, higher gel strength stability, and improved yield value — all essential for achieving better borehole stability and reducing drilling risks.
One key advantage of GN’s shear pump system is its ability to significantly reduce chemical consumption by improving hydration efficiency, which aligns with the increasing environmental and cost-control requirements in Europe’s drilling industry. Combined with its energy-efficient motor and stable mechanical design, the GN shear pump provides both operational and economic benefits to drilling contractors.
To ensure smooth installation and integration, GN supplied the pumps with customized base frames, flexible couplings, electric motors, and inlet/outlet connections. All units were subjected to strict factory quality testing, including vibration assessment, dynamic balancing, pressure testing, and motor performance verification. The equipment complies with CE standards, making it fully suitable for European operating environments and safety regulations.
This delivery once again demonstrates GN’s strong capability in providing reliable pumping solutions for both onshore and offshore drilling applications. As GN continues to expand its presence in Europe, the company remains committed to offering durable equipment, fast spare parts supply, and professional technical support to international clients.
With centrifugal pumps and shear pumps forming essential components of drilling mud systems, GN Solids Control is proud to support global drilling contractors with equipment that enhances efficiency, reduces maintenance cost, and delivers consistent performance in demanding field conditions.
