Drilling fluids equipment

Rheological parameters and the physical meaning of the plastic flow patterns

① static shear strength (τs)

Start drilling fluid flow required minimum shear stress , which is a continuous measure of the strength of the space frame structure of the drilling fluid formed in the stationary unit area . Continuous space grid structure called gel structure, also known as static shear gel strength . Closely related to the static shear size and drill cuttings and drilling fluid suspension heavier material 's ability to stop the cycle . However, static shear force can not be too large, otherwise the pump difficult and sometimes choke drain formation . Adjust the drilling fluid and the dispersion of clay content , plus inorganic electrolyte membrane adjust the electrostatic repulsion and hydration repulsion between the particles of clay , plus measures to adjust the viscosity fluids like static shear stress .
 
② ultimate static shear force

Various drilling fluid system clay particles due to the irregular surface charge and hydrophilic uneven shape at rest is easy to form a network structure. The minimum static shear stress damage drilling unit volume mesh structure on the need, the drilling fluid called "extreme static shear force ."

③ dynamic shear force (τ0)

Line segment extended flow curve intersects the axis of a shear stress τ0, which is a hypothetical value , a measure of the strength of the mesh structure of the drilling fluid when drilling fluid is reflected in a laminar flow state . Factors that affect the value and size of the adjustment method is basically the same as the static shear .

④ plastic viscosity (μPV)

Bingham formula derived from that plastic viscosity plastic fluid rheology curve segment is the reciprocal of the slope , it does not change with shear force . Description is the viscosity of the system architecture to break speed equal to the speed of recovery time . It is a fluid phase between the particles in a laminar flow system the solid state , between the solid particles and the surrounding liquid phase intermolecular friction formed . Plastic viscosity of the drilling fluid solid content , shape and degree of dispersion of solid particles , the surface lubricity and viscosity of the liquid itself, and other factors . It is directly related to the drilling fluid suspension capabilities, its value should be moderate. If the viscosity is too high the plastic system , reducing the time needed , the solids  control equipment is generally used to reduce the solid phase solid phase content , increase inhibitory system, reduce the activity of the solid phase dispersion ; if urgent need to reduce the dilution water can be added . If you want to increase the viscosity of the system can be added to the plastic polymer organic polymer thickener or clay.

Improved the recycling of drilling fluid system

Drilling centrifugal pump in solid control system, sand pump is used for the drilling fluids Desander , in addition to mud , mud cleaners and other equipment for the material, the transmission medium is circulating with the solid phase drilling fluids . Existing drilling sand pump shaft seal using a simple mechanical seals , often resulting in the string into the drilling fluids sand pump bearings ( sealed ), of which the drilling fluid contains large amounts of solid particles . Thus making drilling centrifugal pump bearings quickly damaged , causing many to abandon drilling drilling crew and desilter desander etc. , only shale shaker , a serious deterioration in the drilling conditions . 

For drilling fluid seal problems Xi'an Brightway Energy Machinery Co., Ltd. developed a new type of sand pump seal, mechanical seal structure using the new theory, the structure of the active life than more than doubled .

 Drilling pump in the drilling solids control system is the most important hydraulic devices. However, the existing drilling pump significantly larger , emphasis , and the pump piston and cylinder wear is very serious, is the main wearing parts of the pump. The reason is mainly for two reasons : First, the structural design of drilling pump is mainly imitation , not using modern design methods , resulting in a significantly larger drilling pump structure ; Second, the solids content of the drilling fluid ones, mainly due to serious friction liner wear - especially barite drilling fluid pump piston causes.

To do this , you should use good sealing effect , long life drilling sand pump new seal structure to extend the life of sand pump , better play drilling solids control equipment performance , improve drilling efficiency. 

HDD drilling mud system

Aiming at Trenchless Directional Drilling mud purification and recycling system exists using conventional shaker run the risk of mud , grit removal and desilter not complete, mud and other small particles can not clear the problem , brightway can provide the best quality solids control equipment and system .

Using horizontal directional drilling technology for pipeline crossing construction , urban construction and municipal pipe network transformation electrification , communications and cable laying across large and small rivers, lakes, and the demolition of the building can not be the best choice is not to disfigure the state and protection of the environment the best method of construction . In recent years, the level of directional drilling technology in various countries and various sectors of the world has been widely used in China in recent years, with the rapid development of pipeline construction , especially natural gas project construction , directional drilling large diameter pipes began to , long-distance, large wall thickness across the areas of expansion , the level crossing has been greatly improved . Because of the large caliber, long-distance directional drilling developed in recent years , through the introduction of foreign rig the general majority, its ancillary equipment has not attracted much attention , especially in the mud purification and recovery system. However , as people 's awareness of environmental protection , how to conduct safety and environmental protection become directional drilling directional drilling development.


An important issue.
In trenchless directional drilling , due to the hole diameter, such as natural gas and Jining pipeline project , the use of «1 016 mm pipe, in reaming stage , a very large amount of mud . Typically , trenchless directional drilling is the open system , in general through the mud in the amount of 3 000 m3 or more, some even up to 10 000 m3 [1]. Large amount of mud , the mud will not only increase costs and land acquisition costs , more serious problem is through the completion of the waste mud Without effective treatment,

Pollution of farmland and water , will cause ecological problems. As people 's awareness of environmental protection , development and use of mud tank purification and recovery is imperative. Purification and recovery of mud slurry can be returned to solid phase processing and recycling, while reducing the amount of slurry , to reduce environmental pollution and reduce the amount of processing of waste ; the other hand, the recovered slurry are " cooked mud " , the performance is relatively stable, unstable performance can reduce the emergence of underground accidents.
