We take a 200gpm HDD mud system to Australia for Drill 2012 exhibition, Drill 2012 is organized by Australian Drilling Industry Association (ADIA) for drilling machines including drilling rig, mud pump, drilling tools, mud recycling system, etc.

This 200gpmHDD mud system also can be used for water well drilling, 150~600meters, the required treating capacity is 150~200gallons per minute.

Since you may do not want to pay more money to recycle the water well drilling mud, it is different with oilfield drilling mud which is consist of expensive mud material, you only want to recycle it and to meet environment protection regulation, GN 200gpm mud system will be your best choice for low cost and high performance-cost-ratio.

Submersible slurry pump can be used for drilling application, mainly to pump the slurry from the mud pit to shale shaker, second to pump the mud to decanter centrifuge( there is another type screw pump to feed for centrifuge, but submersible slurry pump can save place in the tank for compact footprint).

Especially for small drilling applications, such as HDD, they are not closed loop mud tank system, their drilling mud flow to a mud pit first, then use a submersible slurry pump to pump it to the mud system for cleaning.

NOV Mission mud gun is one of the popular mud gun, with 2 inch and 3 inch for choice. GN mud gun is function equivalent just dimension is different, we also have 2” and 3” for choice, with model NJQ50-3 & NJQ80-3. Their common features including a collapsible handle, a 360˚ rotating swivel body, and the ability to be customized to any length, flanged or threaded.

Mud gun is widely used in mud tank system with mud agitator, their function is to agitate the mud to less precipitation, so there is less sand left on the bottom of the tank, it is easy for cleaning and better for drilling performance.

GN designed balanced elliptical motion shale shaker is the most advanced type in the world, before we use Italy Oli vibration motor( short type), like the picture below.

Now we had new design for the BEM shaker-use long vibration motor. See the picture left.

The Long Motor BEM shale shaker works well for high Viscosity oil based drilling mud.

Specification of GN Long Motor Shale Shaker

Shaker Screen Area:2.2㎡ with 3 Panel Screen.
Wedged type screen for fast removing
G force up to 7.5 which is adjustable
Handling capacity is up to 528 GPM,this 3 Shale Shaker is on a same skid for fast removement.

Nomo pump is widely used in oilfiled, both in oil production/drilling mud system and drilling waste management system.  

Application In Oil Industry
• drilling mud system
• waste sludges
• cutting oils
• oil & wax mixture

Application in drilling waste management system

• pump stations
• primary, secondary and tertiary sludge transfer
• centrifuge, coil vacuum filter, belt filterpress and plated frame filter feed

Nemo pump is used to feed for GN decanter centrifuge in centrifuge mud tank.

Centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses a rotating impeller to increase the pressure and flow rate of a fluid. Centrifugal pumps are the most common type of pump used to move liquids through a piping system.

It is widely used in oilfield drilling mud system, as trip pump, measurement pump, charging pump, mixing pump, feeding pump. It can be used together with mixing hopper as a mixing unit, with trip tank as a trip pump/measurement pump, with mud pump as charging pump for mud pump, or as a transfer pump. It is ideal choice for drilling fluids transfer.

Mud cleaner is a combination of desanders and/or desilters mounted over a shaker with a fine mesh screen.

The drilling mud is fed to the inlet of the desander cone, the coarse particle and fine particles are separated by different centrifugal force, the particles larger than 70 microns are separated and fine particles remained in the drilling fluids and dropped into the mud tank.

The feeding pump of desilter cone fed the mud to desilter cone, then particles larger than 20 microns are separated.

The coarse solids are dropped on the shaker screens for dry and some clean drilling fluids are recycled and solids are separated, maybe collected by screw conveyor to the drilling waste management system.

In oil & gas drilling, positive displacement pump is used to feed for decanter centrifuge, Nemo pump is one of the best feeding pump for GN decanter centrifuge.

We can provide centrifuge with various Nemo pump according to client’s requirement, for example, stainless steel 304 or SS316L material, manual speed control, variable frequency drive or fix speed pump, flow rate various from 20m3/h to 90m3/h for various model decanter centrifuge. All the pump motor is explosion proof and with a speed reducer for steadily running.

As an expensive and significant material for drilling fluids, it is necessary to recover it from the used drilling fluids. Usually we use barite recovery centrifuge to recycle barite, together with a high speed centrifuge as a barite recovery unit.

Contaminants in barite, such as cement, siderite, pyrrhotite, gypsum and anhydrite, can cause problems in certain mud systems and should be evaluated in any quality assurance program for drilling-mud additives.

For GNLW363VFD decanter centrifuge, when control the speed 1500~1800rpm, it can be used for recycling barite.

is a brand belongs to NOV(National Oilwell Varco). Magnum is an important series of Mission pump. The Magnum has an open impeller design that contains wide-tipped vanes and a more tangential circumference of the suction allowing the pump to create a smoother flow pattern when handling abrasive fluids.GN centrifugal pump is same with Mission 2500 series centrifugal pump, the spare parts can be replaceable, and installation dimension is same.
