for removing solids from the bore hole,
lubricates downhole tooling, cools electronics
and stabilizes the hole. Keeping
it clean and usable is an important job,
and an essential one for contractors to
stay profitable.
Enter the Fluid Cleaning System.
To keep all the equipment on the jobsite
running at peak performance, the
system needs to perform several tasks.
First and foremost is to remove the
maximum amount of solids as possible,
which in turn, minimizes the waste disposal
volume and returns clean fluids to
the drill. Clean fluid running through
the system greatly reduces the wear
and tear on equipment, significantly
reduces operating costs and maximizes
downhole production.
Dress rehearsal
Don't take our word for it though, take
a look at what a new cleaning system
did for one Texas contractor. With
concerns regarding their existing mud
system's ability to recycle their drilling
mud from their million-pound rig, they
decided to upgrade.
Their rig typically circulates up to
1,200 gallons per minute (gpm) and
can drill up to 72-inch holes. It was
paired with a mud recycling system
consisting of two conventional scalping
shakers, followed by one desander
shaker and one desilter shaker running
flat, pretensioned screens. The contractor
could not pump the desired rates
downhole due to capacity limitations of
the mud system, which also produced
wetter-than-desirable cuttings at times,
which increased disposal costs, commercial
solids and water usage.
The new and upgraded system, an
American Augers MCD1200, featured
two Derrick Hyperpool shakers for
primary screening, while the third unit,
fitted with a three-cone inline desander
package, followed by a fourth unit fitted
