Drilling Fluid Management & Disposal
Drilling fluid waste management and solids control of drilling mud related technical and developed situation.
Shale shaker is the main solids removal equipment. Today, offshore and onshore drilling projects where more effective fluids/solids separation is required in addition to the reduction of costs related to shale shakers performance.

Discrete Element Method (DEM) is attracting increasing interest for the simulation of Drilling fluid flow, much of the previous DEM modelling has considered two-dimensional (2D) flows and used circular solids particles in drilling fluid. The flow of particulate materials plays a critical role in dilling mud processes.

Other than the drill floor itself, the solids control system requires more attention than any other single rig system whether onshore or offshore. For that reason, it is most important that the solids control system is designed to be as efficient and as maintenance free as possible. This section will discuss that pan of the mud system extending from the bell nipple (or diverter housing outlet) to the mud pump suction piping.

From drilling fluid properties point of view, it is beneficial to minimize drilled solids content. This can be achieved by mechanical treatment, chemical treatment, dilution, and/or mixing new mud. All the above methods, will lead to additional cost impact. Thus, utilization of proper solids removal was required to balance between mechanical treatment and dilution method to reduce solids at acceptable cost.
