Summary of Mud’s Composition and Resultant Functions

2014-04-25

READ: Drilling fluids, the circulating fluid for drilling operations, is a mixture of the fluid, the solid and chemical agents. It is usually known as the mud or the blood of drilling deriving from its distinctive significance. Drilling fluids, the circulating fluid for drilling operations, is a mixture of the fluid, the solid and chemical agents. It is usually known as the mud or the blood of drilling deriving from its distinctive significance. The solid in mud primarily includes concocting clay, weighting materials, drill cuttings and other solid substances. In terms of sources, it then comprises concocting clay, debris, weighting materials, solids from agents, etc. Besides, different types of action of solids and ions in water can further categorize low-density solids into active and in

Four Major Functions of Filtrate Reducer

2014-04-23

READ: Pressure gradients naturally genders fluid loss through the walls from the drilling mud as drilling processes, subsequently developing into borehole collapse and drilling-related accidents. Thus, filtrate reducer plays a significant role in maintaining relatively low fluid loss, one of the essential properties of the mud. Pressure gradients naturally genders fluids loss through the walls from the drilling mud as drilling processes. Excessive fluid loss can impact many aspects of drilling operations: 1. Shale formation can expand and collapse and the wall be less stabilized. 2. Fluid penetration can expand the clay, blocking the oil and gas channel and damaging the formation. 3. Larger fluid loss thickens the filter cake, narrows the borehole diameter, increases the torque of drilling

33 MBA Students from University of Texas Visit KOSUN for Study

2014-04-22

On the afternoon of April 18th, 2014, 33 MBA students from University of Texas paid a visit to KOSUNs Jingwei Solids Control Equipment Factory, where they made a field trip to the workshops with their topics and asked questions with great interest. The American students were given a full demonstration of KOSUNs overall strength and a fresh angle to look at Chinas private enterprises in the exchange activity. Meanwhile, KOSUN also acquired a better understanding of the American market and laid the foundation for massively developing the North American market in future. Group Photo of Visiting Students and KOSUN Leadership A staff member is making a brief introduction to KOSUN for the visiting students. Students are discussing issues of common concern.

How to Get Separation Point of Purification Equipment

2014-04-21

READ: The separation point for drilling fluids is defined as separation characteristics shown by purification equipment in the given time. And that for purification equipment comes out from comparing mass velocities of solid phases in different sizes and identical size discharged. Separation point of drilling fluids: The separation point for drilling fluids is defined as separation characteristics shown by purification equipment in the given time. It should take the properties of both purification equipment and drilling fluids into account to evaluate separation point data. The curve of separation can be drawn on collected data, illustrating the equipments removing rates of certain size at certain time in data collection. Accordingly, it is the function for solids physical property, diamet

Solutions for Four Common Underflow Problems of Cyclone

2014-04-16

READ: When cyclone works, high-speed swirling movement generates the air column and low-pressure area, creating suction towards underflow outlet. This cyclone is often found in mud cleaners where solid-content fluids enters and solids leave through underflow outlet. When cyclone works, high-speed swirling movement generates the air column and low-pressure area, creating suction towards underflow outlet. Inject some water into cyclone by certain pressure and adjust the outlet till it allows no fluid flow, meaning it reaches the balance point.

Application in Handling Unweighted and Weighted Drilling Fluids

2014-04-14

READ: Decanter centrifuge separates by the work principle of centrifugal sedimentation. The drilling fields usually apply spiral settling centrifuge which works on the basis of different component densities. It mainly removes 2~10m solid phase from the mud as the last stage in solids control system. It has shared applications in both weighted and unweighted drilling fluids.

Ten Unmissed Points on Desander’s Daily Maintenance

2014-04-10

READ: Here are several unmissed points on desanders daily maintenance: No butter should be applied insider its hydrocyclones and seal groove cavity on the top since they are sealed by metal which will be damaged by the potential particle content or fixture from butter. Spare filter element and adequate O-shape sealing ring should be fully prepared. Here are several unmissed points on desanders daily maintenance: 1. No butter should be applied insider its hydrocyclones and seal groove cavity on the top since they are sealed by metal which will be damaged by the potential particle content or fixture from butter. 2. Spare filter element and adequate O-shape sealing ring should be fully prepared. 3. Visual inspection should be conducted into its hydrocyclones. 4. Indicated value displayed on p

Jet Mud Mixer Is A Unit Used Together with Solids Control System

2014-04-08

KOSUN DJM series jet mud mixer is special equipment to prepare and increase the drilling fluids weight by adding and mixing bentonite, change the fluid density, change the mud density, viscosity, and dehydration. The effect is more prominent matching with shear pump.. That is used to mix water and bentonite powder and cement powder with water. The mixing principle is done either by impeller or by venturi throttle, in both cases the aim is to generate enough shear to end up in a colloidal. The effect is more prominent matching with shear pump. KOSUN DJM jet mud mixer is a unit used together with the solids control system for petroleum drilling and horizontal directional drilling(HDD).
