The drilling mud circulation system plays the role of purifying and recovering the circulating mud in the drilling rig. The mud circulation system can prepare mud suitable for drilling. It mainly filters the particles in the mud through the first-level classification of solid control equipment such as vibrating screens, so that the mud Performance meets drilling requirements.

The drilling mud circulation system is an important part of the drilling rig. The drilling mud circulation system includes: mud vibrating screen, sand removal and mud removal integrated machine, true remover, drilling fluid centrifuge, agitator, mud tank, jet mixing device, sand pump , Electric control, liquid-gas separator, etc.
 

The drilling mud circulation system is designed for different drilling conditions. Some drilling areas, such as Russia, require a mud circulation system that can withstand the cold; such as the Middle East, where the temperature is very high, and the mud circulation system needs to be designed to withstand high temperatures. For example, for desert areas, the mud circulation system can be designed to prevent wind and sand erosion;
 

 

The layout of the drilling mud circulation system can also be designed according to the working conditions of the drilling site. For example, the drilling site is narrow and the mud circulation system can be lined up; the drilling site is open, and the mud circulation system layout can be lined up in line; the drilling site needs to be moved, and the mud circulation system can all be implemented side by side;
 

Drilling mud circulation system for different types of drilling rigs is also divided into 1000HP drilling rig mud circulation system, suitable for drilling rigs with a drilling depth of 4 kilometers; 1500HP drilling rig mud circulation system, suitable for drilling rigs with a drilling depth of 5 kilometers; 2000HP drilling rig mud circulation system, suitable for Drilling rig with drilling depth of 7 kilometers; mud circulation system of 3000HP drilling rig, suitable for drilling rig with drilling depth of 9 kilometers, etc.

 

 

According to the drilling mud system, the drilling mud circulation system can be divided into: oil-based mud circulation system and water-based mud circulation system. The oil-based mud circulation system is mainly used in ultra-deep wells and directional well drilling. The water-based mud circulation system is mainly for shallow drilling that does not require high drilling mud.
 

In short, the equipment composition and layout of the mud circulation system determine the role and classification of the mud circulation system. The drilling mud circulation system will continue to improve with the progress of drilling technology. More intelligent elements will be added to the drilling mud circulation system in the future.
