KOSUN will have more opportunities to make great contributions to the drilling waste management in China, with the establishment of “Xi’an Oil and Gas Drilling Waste Management Engineering Research Center”, The most attractive content in a DWM Solids Control http://www.kosun.us/drilling-waste-management/ research report officially released by this research center is “zero discharge of drilling waste”. Drilling waste management (DWM) services provided by KOSUN Oil tools reduces wastes generated during drilling activities to acceptable environmental levels.
In the near future,a bath of screens for vertical cuttings dryers has completed the production and packaging and was ready to ship them to Africa. These screens will serve as replacements of VERTI-G cuttings dryer screens and will be on active service in the well site in Africa. The set of KOSUN drilling waste management system has been used by turns at several African drilling sites after being sold to Africa in March 2014. Customers highly praised treatment result of the equipment.
These wastes remaining in the well field cesspool, due to incomplete processing of waste solids encountered during the rainy season, a lot of rain erosion, with leakage cesspool overflow, flooding, etc., may have an adverse groundwater and surface water influence and endanger the surrounding environment, and may even cause pollution accidents. In response to these harmful substances, how to take the appropriate drilling waste treatment technology to minimize the environmental impact of drilling waste fluid damage, oil and gas companies are currently a very important job.
To develop zero contaminants discharge policy through implementing drilling waste management. The first move is to minimize as much as practical the amount of waste generated in solids control system processing. Then reduce the holes diameter (less cuttings generated & less mud to be disposed off) by optimizing the well casings program for every single well. The next, eliminate the use of "emulsion" mud (oil added to WBM to reduce weight) in loss circulation zones by using "Aerated mud" (compressed air added to reduce weight). At last, improve the efficiency of the solid control equipment installed on the rigs ("state of the art" shale shakers and rented "Hi-G dryers & centrifuges) to reduce the need for dilutions & limit the amount of oil on cuttings. Strive to reduce OBM usage by assessing & trying new inhibitive water mud systems.
