GN Solids Control has recently supplied a 14,000BBL Rapid Liquid Mud Plant to a professional drilling fluids company, providing a flexible and efficient solution for large-scale drilling operations. This delivery demonstrates GN’s capability to deliver high-capacity mud storage and handling systems that meet the rigorous demands of modern drilling projects.

Designed to API-650 Standard

The mud tank is engineered in full accordance with API-650 — the American Petroleum Institute standard for welded steel tanks for oil storage. This design specification ensures the structural integrity, durability, and safety of the storage tanks, making them suitable for long-term field service under demanding drilling conditions.

CSC Container Certification for Global Transport

Each mud tank is designed in a 40-ft high cube container configuration, with a capacity of 440 BBL per tank. A key feature of this mud plant is its CSC container certification, which supports safe and efficient transportation while reducing the complexity of logistics. The containerized design allows the equipment to be quickly mobilized and deployed across different drilling sites, making it particularly suitable for projects where site conditions and equipment locations may change frequently.

Two-Level Stacking for Space Optimization

To maximize the utilization of limited site space, the mud tanks are also designed for two-level stacking. This configuration significantly reduces the overall footprint while maintaining the required storage capacity, offering drilling fluid companies greater flexibility in site layout.

With its large storage capacity, containerized structure, certified transportation design, and space-saving configuration, the GN Solids Control 14,000BBL Rapid Liquid Mud Plant provides a reliable solution for modern drilling fluid management and rapid deployment requirements

GN Solids Control is pleased to announce the successful delivery of double deck shale shakers for deep well drilling projects. This shipment highlights our continued commitment to providing high-performance solids control equipment for demanding drilling operations where reliability and efficiency are paramount.

The Critical Role of Shale Shakers in Solids Control

The shale shaker is the first phase solids control equipment in any drilling fluids processing system and is widely recognized as the key equipment in the drilling mud system. Its performance directly affects the efficiency of the entire solids control system. For deep well drilling projects, where drilling conditions are more challenging and solids control requirements are more demanding, the choice of shale shaker becomes even more critical.

Why Double Deck Shale Shaker for Deep Well Drilling

Deep well drilling operations typically involve higher circulation rates, more complex formations, and longer operational periods. The double deck shale shaker offers distinct advantages for these challenging conditions:

Larger Screening Area in a Compact Footprint: The double deck design provides significantly more screening area without requiring additional deck space. This is particularly valuable on rigs where space is limited but performance requirements are high.

Higher Processing Capacity: With a processing capacity of up to 140 cubic meters per hour (616 gallons per minute), the double deck shale shaker is well-suited for deep well drilling operations that demand high throughput.

Superior Screening Performance: The upper deck utilizes coarse mesh screens for pre-separation to remove large particles, which greatly improves the bottom deck’s screening performance and capacity. This two-stage approach extends the service life of the finer screens on the bottom deck.

Enhanced Solids Removal: The double deck configuration ensures maximum solids removal and improved fluid recovery, maintaining drilling fluid quality for deep well operations
