KOSUN Creates A New International Market in North Africa

After KOSUN won two sets of fully-configured 70D Solids Control System from GWDC, KOSUN signed another contract of 750 Workover Rig Solids Control Equipment with the national drilling contractor in Egypt. In doing so, KOSUN has further opened markets in North Africa, and also created a new international market pattern. The international drilling contractor from Egypt required full set of solids control equipment be delivered within one month on 12th June. After receiving notification, KOSUN made every effort to meet the delivery requirements with Customer First spirit. The marketing department coordinated and transferred cargo actively, production department worked overtime. It turned out that all the equipment was completed within 25 days. As for our export to Egypt, the customer required

Desander and Desilter in Solids Control System

As two indispensable equipments in the solid control system of oil and gas drilling, desander and desilter are responsible for separating the small solids in the drilling fluids which has been treated by the shale shaker and vacuum degasser. The desander takes care of the solid with diameter 45~74m, and 15~44m for desilter. Normally desander are mounted on the top of the first mud tank together with shale shaker s and vacuum degassers, while desilters are mounted together with centrifuges. Sometimes to save the top area of the mud tank, desander and desilter are combined together to work as high efficient mud cleaner. Desander and desilter are consist of hydrocyclones, high pressure flow pipes and a small shale shaer at the bottom. For desanders and desilters, only one vibration motor is u

KOSUN Mud Agitator Customized by Qatari Customers Was Already Arranged for Shipment

The type mud agitator is according to custmers requirement designed and produced, motor is 7.5KW, double impeller. The above impeller is inclined blade, for the below is straight blade type. Above impeller will gain mud pressure on work, the straight blade provide thrust, which making the vane of mud more uniform, and not easy to grit. Mud agitator is the commonly used equipment in drilling solid control system , usually in the above of mud tank (circulating mud tank, feeding tank, medicine tank).Mud agitator is used to prevent drilling fluid solid phase particle from deposition in the tank circulation system, making the circulating drilling fluid performance stable, mixed evenly. My companys technical engineers, according to the particularity of the customer site, make the special design

Advantages and Disadvantages of Water- and Oil-based Mud

READ: Shale gas has a complex composition of minerals. Water easily smells clay minerals. This can hinder normal drilling, result in complicated down hole problems like collapsing wall as well as pollute drilling fluids and impact capacity in later production. Mostly due to this, oil-based mud is required. Shale gas has a complex composition of minerals, extending to such common ones as kaolinites, montmorillonites, illites, as well as quartzs, feldspars, mica calcites, dolomites, iron pyrites, apatites, etc. Water easily smells clay minerals. This can hinder normal drilling, result in complicated down hole problems like collapsing wall as well as pollute drilling fluids and impact capacity in later production. Mostly due to this, oil-based mud is required. Vertical well can try water-base

Oil-based Mud Plays Significant Role in Shale Gas Exploration

READ: Many unsolved problems in shale gas exploration are mostly attributed to drilling fluids. However, shales proneness to hydration swelling, which leads to a string of complex downhole problems like a collapsing wall, has determined oil-based mud to be applied in shale gas exploration. Many unsolved problems in shale gas exploration are mostly attributed to drilling fluids, so proper match between mud properties and engineering parameters gives birth to safe well drilling. Shale gas is produced by fracking since it mainly exists among cracks. However, shales proneness to hydration swelling, which leads to a string of complex downhole problems like a collapsing wall, has determined oil-based mud to be applied in shale gas exploration. Foreign companies apply a special drilling fluids ca

Using Solids Control System in Horizontal Directional Crossing Project

READ: Horizontal directional crossing are still very young at home and even abroad. However, in recent years, thanks to the substantial development of pipeline directional crossing and large-scale construction of domestic oil gas pipelines, KOSUNs solids control equipment have found significant application in directional crossing projects for the stage treatment of directional crossing drilling fluids. Horizontal directional crossing are still very young at home and even abroad. However, in recent years, thanks to the substantial development of pipeline directional crossing and large-scale construction of domestic oil gas pipelines, crossing length and diameter have kept updating the records. Drilling fluids plays an importan role in directional crossing projects for its decisive impact on
