Mud tank

Working Principle

Mud tank is a kind of container equipment for storing, treating and regulating mud, which is widely used in oil and gas drilling as well as geological exploration and other fields. During the drilling process, the mud returns from the wellhead and flows into the mud tank through the mud circulation system on the ground via the inlet pipe. Inside the mud tank, the mixing system works continuously to make the various components in the mud, such as clay, weighting agent, additives and so on, mix evenly. When mud is needed for drilling, the mud in the mud tank is transported to the drilling pump through the discharge pipe, and then the drilling pump pressurizes the mud to the wellhead and injects it into the bottom of the well through the drilling rods, thus realizing the recycling of mud.

Functions

• Mud storage: Provide stable mud reserve for drilling operation, ensure sufficient mud supply during the long drilling process, avoid interruption of drilling due to insufficient mud.
• Performance adjustment: According to the requirements of the drilling process, various chemical additives, such as thickening agent, filtration loss reduction agent, weighting agent, etc., can be conveniently added to the mud tank to adjust the mud’s density, viscosity, water loss and other properties, so as to adapt to the drilling needs of different stratigraphic conditions.
• Solid-liquid separation: cooperate with solid control equipment to realize the separation of solid-phase particles and liquid phase in mud.
