Advantages and Disadvantages of Water- and Oil-based Mud

发表评论 / Industry Update /

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

发表评论 / Industry Update /

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

READ: KOSUN MG Mud Gun mainly jets drilling fluids with high pressure inside mud tanks, in a bid to avert depositing solid phase at each corner of mud tank and pump inlets, and to deliver drilling fluids amongst compartments. KOSUN MG Mud Gun mainly jets drilling fluids with high pressure inside mud tanks, in a bid to avert depositing solid phase at each corner of mud tank and pump inlets, and to deliver drilling fluids amongst compartments. So far, both domestic and foreign companies have applied rectangular circulating tanks for better installation and more flexible movement, but even the most capable mud agitator wont be able to reach the difficult corners. For this reason, the tanks outside China are equipped with nozzled low-pressure hydraulic mixing pipelines while, at home, the prob

Choose Proper Solids Control System on Full Understanding of Oil-based Drilling Fluids

发表评论 / Industry Update /

READ: Oil-based drilling fluids is mainly composed of oil as the continuous phase. KOSUN produces complete set of solids control equipment and drilling fluids solids control system as well as such major products as drilling mud shale shaker, high-efficiency mud cleaner, degasser, decanter centrifuge. Oil-based drilling fluids is mainly composed of oil as the continuous phase. It has found wide application in various drilling platforms with its resistance against elevated temperature and calcium salt corrosion, strong sidewall stabilization, good lubricating effects and little damage of oil gas formation. Water, as an unuseful composition, does not account for more than 10% in oil-based drilling fluids. However, it normally takes up 10%~60% in water-in-oil drilling fluids, as an essential p

The Purpose of Drilling Fluids Purification Solids Control System

发表评论 / Industry Update /

READ: If the solids control equipment are put into prompt application, they will remove such harmful solids as drill cuttings, silts, coarse clay, etc., keep the content of useful solids like barites and bentonites under the sway of regulations, and, at the same time, recover barites and bentonites from drilling fluids. What is the purpose of applying drilling fluids purification solids control equipment? The main application that drilling fluids purification solids control equipment, as a must for drilling fluids circulating system, find is to control the solids content in drilling fluids. Increased solid content in drilling mud will result in a remarkable fall of mechanical drilling speed and even drilling accidents, thus surging the overal drilling cost up to a large degree. Experiments

Details on Vaccum Degasser Application in Under-balanced Drilling

发表评论 / Industry Update /

READ: In drilling operations, gases brought from the well by drilling fluids usually exert negative influence on mud properties and create safety hazards. In under-balanced drilling, sticking has become a frequent occurrence deep in the well. Vaccum degasser is very helpful in tackling the adhesive sticking resulted from over-dense drilling fluids.
