The Tiny but Indispensable Solids Control Equipment in Drilling

Sep 06, 2013

Solids control equipment is one of the most important phases of the drilling procedure. Effective solids control allows viscosity and density to be kept within desired levels, which increases the life of pump parts and drill bits and boosts faster penetration rates-all of which decrease the time and expense of drilling. If mud solids are not rightly controlled, the density of the mud can increase above the desired weight, which can negatively affect many areas of the drilling process.

Mud Gun

Mud gun is meant to provide supplemental or primary mixing in mud tanks depending on the number being used and the pit size. It is best used in tank corners with a mud agitator placed in the tank center to keep solids from settling. The mud gun in mud system is also used for transferring mud from compartment to compartment, like for trip tank compartment.

Mud Agitator

KOSUN MA Series Mud Agitator is part of the drilling fluids solids control equipment, which is mainly used to agitate and mix the drilling mud to prevent solids particles from depositing in the circulating tank and to stabilize the performance of drilling fluids. It is composed of explosion-proof motor, speed reducer, motor base and blade. The connection between motor and speed reducer, speeder reducer and impeller shaft is realized by steel coupling. The impeller is welded by four blades.

Being the first professional manufacturer of solids control system in China, KOSUN is a vital part of the world hydrocarbon exploration and production industry, as well as one of top three solids control equipment suppliers in China, which offers its products for CNPC, CNOOC, HH, Gazprom, RG, etc. KOSUN Solids Control Equipment & Systems, KOSUN Waste Management Equipment, and its turn-key ecommerce solutions play important roles in rigs for drilling and serving oil-gas, geothermy, shale gas, coalbed methane, construction, and for municipal sewerage system.
