Effective solids control can be attributed to the overall performance of all components of the mud system. By significantly reducing maintenance costs, avoiding excessive chemical treatment, and conditioning drilling fluids with the goal of maintaining mud system volumes, equipment failures, unnecessarily high mud costs, hole and drilling Reduces the chance of problems. In the early days of the petroleum industry, open pits were used as settling areas to separate solids and mud, thereby acting as a solids management device. Stringent environmental regulations and high mud costs are now weighing the economics of an effective mud system. Various solids management companies have implemented zero-emission systems, closed-loop systems, "quick-move" technology, screening technology, disposal options, and more.
Delete section. Undesirable drilling solids and even gases are separated in this section. additional section. Commercial chemicals are added and agitated to control and condition the mud. Aspiration and test section. This is the final part of the mud system where evaluation and testing procedures are performed before recirculating the fluid downhole.
