Seven sisters of oil

As solids control equipment manufacturer,GN aim to be best supplier for every oil company,learn about phylogeny of it is one of our works

“Seven Sisters” was a common term for the seven multinational oil companies of the “Consortium for Iran” oligopoly or cartel, which control most market of global petroleum industry from the mid-1940s to the mid-1970s. nearly as the seven mythological Pleiades sisters fathered in the titan Atlas, this name was most called in the 1950s through businessman Enrico Mattei, as the-head of the Italian state oil company Eni.

GN solids control given attention on this history to reference and running solids control market better

The industry group consisted of:

  1. Anglo-Iranian Oil Company(now British Petroleum)
  2. Gulf Oil(become part of Chevron later)
  3. Royal Dutch Shell
  4. Standard Oil Company of California(Short name Socal,now Chevron)
  5. Standard Oil Company of New Jersey(Esso, become Exxon later)
  6. Standard Oil Company of New York(Short name Socony, become Mobil later, now becomed part of ExxonMobil)
  7. Texaco(merged into Chevron later)

Whit the time going,the market always waving,here is the new Seven Sister:

Before 1973 oil crisis, the Seven Sisters controlled around 85% of the world’s petroleum reserves.After that, the market has shifted to the OPEC cartel and state-owned oil and gas companies in emerging-market economies, such asGazprom (Russia), Saudi Aramco, China National Petroleum Corporation, NationalPDVSA (Venezuela),ranian Oil Company,Petrobras (Brazil),Petronas (Malaysia). In 2007,it was called”the new Seven Sister

According to consulting firm PFC Energy,until 2012, only 7% of the world’s already known oil reserves were in countries that allowed private international companies free rein. Fully 65% were in the hands of state-owned companies.

Oil company may change follow market,but GN solid as the equipment supplier,will always developing to catch market.

Solids control equipment will not just shale shaker and centrifuge,GN will keep fresh product line to give better support to every client

GN Solids Control can develop so fast, one
is depending on the high quality equipment and good price. The other is
depending on the fast response after sales service. Our product have been
exported to over 60 countries. The sale amount each year can reach to about
20million dollars. The mainly equipment including:

1) Large quantity of decanter
centrifuges
.

Every year we export over 250 sets
centrifuge with feeding pumps. About 150 sets centrifuge for overseas market
and about 100 sets centrifuge for domestic market. Most popular model
centrifuge is GNLW363CG or GNLW363CG-VFD. GNLW363CG is GN fixed speed
centrifuge, with 3200rpm /2700rpm / 2200rpm speed. GNLW363CG-VFD is GN variable
speed centrifuge, with stepless adjustable speed from o to 3200rpm

2) Vertical cuttings dryer, not large
quantity

The needs of vertical cuttings dryer is not
that higher as decanter centrifuge. We may export about 20 sets vertical
cuttings dryer for drilling waste management.
The drilling waste management conception is also just aroused in past one to
two years. GN Solids Control vertical cuttings dryer can work similar as CSI
dryer after we test the dryer in drilling site

3) large quantity of pumps

We export large quantity of centrifugal
pumps, shear pumps,
submersible slurry pumps to overseas solids control drilling site and HDD
drilling companies.

If you need any solids control equipment,

Centrifuge Feeding Pumps for Solids Control and Waste Management

Centrifuges are greatly used in solids
control and drilling waste management systems in oil and
gas drilling industry, because it could separate out directly or together with
chemicals the fine and extra fine solid particles from the liquid at a high
rotating speed of the bowl. In a solids control system, it is always used after
the desilter and in waste management systems for drilling cuttings, it is used
after the high G dryer shaker or vertical cuttings dryer. When using together
with chemicals like dewatering, it is used after the dewatering unit.

Normally, what equipment is used to feed
the decanter
centrifuges
? Although in theory, the centrifugal pump could be used to feed
the decanter centrifuges just as the centrifugal pumps are served for the desander and desilter,
the centrifugal pump is not an ideal solution. Mostly practical options are submersible
slurry pump and screw pump.

1. submersible slurry pump: just as its
name, the submersible slurry pump has some part of the body underneath the
liquid, and it is vertically installed on the tank for feeding the decanter
centrifuge. In most cases, it is used for fixed speed decanter centrifuge. comparing
with a screw pump, it occupies less space for install and the price of
submersible slurry pump is lower than a screw pump, because the material and
producing technology is less complicated than screw pumps.

2. screw pump, also called mono pump in
practical uses, the most important parts of the screw pump are stator and
rotator, by rotating of the rotator, the transported media is conveyed evenly
and at a stable speed to the decanter centrifuge. Frankly speaking, this is
more suitable as the feeding pump of decanter centrifuges. GN always match its
decanter centrifuge with Netsch pump, which is a German brand, and the liquid
touching parts are all made of SS316L.

GN keeps research and develop the best
technology to manufacture top quality equipment ,such as Mud Gas Separator,
mud agitator, Vacuum
Degasser
and other solids control equipment for our clients,

How Solids Control Works in Dredging Project

The company who provides environmental
protection service may have the business for dredging in rivers or lakes. Many
years’ soil sedimentation down to the water bottom, leaves falling into the
water and then rot, and the trash threw into the water will make the river bed
higher and higher which leading the pollution of the water and even the cutoff
of the river flow. Therefore, we need find a solution to take out the sand,
silt and trash at the bottom of water to make the water clean.

To take the solid stuff out from the water,
we need a solid and liquid separation system to do this job. As a leading
manufacturer of solids control equipment, GN solids control luckily
jointed a project to make the lake water clean inside a residence district.
There is a dredging boat that can take the solid mixed with water from bottom
of the lake, the dirty slurry was sucked out and delivered on to the land with
smelly smell.

The slurry is fed via a steel wire box
where large size solid stuff will be blocked and collected. Then the liquid
will be pumped to GN’s solids control system. In this system, GN designed 3
stages for solids control including shale shaker,
de-sander and de-silter. Both the de-sander and
de-silter are equipped with underflow shaker that could make the discharges
from cyclone much dryer. After treated by the de-silter cyclones, the solid
stuff with size larger than 15-20 microns will be removed. And the rest solid
in the slurry is difficult to remove by using mechanical machinery.

Flocculation is a good method to gather the
ultra fine solids in the slurry. Add the flocculation agent into the slurry as
per certain ratio and then fully mix with mud agitators. The
flocculated slurry will need several times for sedimentation and then will be
pumped to belt filter press for final dewatering process. The solids will be
discharged with a thin cake shape, and the water could be discharged directly
back to later or river.  

The advantage of the filter press is to
make the solids much dryer, and disadvantage is high cost and small treating
capacity. Some other contractor will use decanter centrifuge to do the final
dewatering job on consideration of its larger treating capacity.

Environmental Waste Management System

We are negotiating our first AD grit removal contract (potential 3000 ton). We will use the unit that is on the way for this.
We are putting a package together for sewage sludge, consisting mainly of rags and grit separation. First process will be the removal of the rags and for this we will have to make adjustment to a single deck shaker by adding spray bars underneath the shaker deck to be able to clean the mesh if it gets blocked. We can do this as a retrofit here but would prefer if it can be designed and constructed in your factory. We will need a buffer tank with pump to feed the spay bars incorporated in the unit ( fresh water fed). Video attached. We are looking at shaker:
GNZS703E-DZ  one or two units to match 240m3 desander
After removal of the rags we have to deal with the grit and believe this should be done with a standard desander unit. GNZJ703E-D1S8N/ GNZJ703E-2S12N
We might want to add on to this a desilter unit or small centrifuge. The water for the spray bars can come from fresh water supply and does not have to be recycled as disposal of water is not a problem at sewage treatment plants.
All to be mounted on a tank with appropriate compartments.

We might need a suction pump (chopper pump type) to chop rags up to smaller bits and to deposit on the first shaker.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhTEjFd-vxo

Ideally none of the units to be longer than 2500mm so we can fit it broadways onto the lorry deck, together with walk ways and access ladder.

How to Operate Decanter Centrifuge to Get the Expected Result

Before starting today’s article, we would like
to tell that the decanter centrifuge mentioned here is 2 phase type centrifuge
used in to separate the solids and liquid where the slurry is coming from the
drilling site. The slurry includes drilling fluids, oil sludge and so on.

Decanter Centrifuge Applications

On drilling site, the decanter
centrifuge
is used in solids control system as the final stage solids
control equipment to remove the fine solids in the drilling mud or to recover
the barite in drilling fluids. While the decanter centrifuge can also be used
as a machine to polish the effluence discharged from the vertical cuttings
dryer in waste
cuttings management system
. In the dewatering system, we can also find the
decanter centrifuge that is used to treat the flocculated slurry in which the
ultra fine solids can be separated out.

How to Operate Decanter Centrifuge as per
Request

GN’s 2 phase decanter centrifuge is always
used to separate solids and liquids. According to different request, we can get
the different discharges. If you want to get much dryer solids, you can
increase the feeding capacity, increase the rotating speed, adjust the liquid
level plate to a low position or reduce the differential speed. By doing any
one mentioned before, you can make the solids discharged much dryer. And if you
reduce the feeding rate, reduce the bowl speed, fix the liquid level plate on
the bowl big end to a high position or increase the differential speed, you can
get a much clear liquid. Sometimes, you need make adjustment for several of the
factors at the same time to get the expected result according the project
request. In dewatering system, the amount of flocculation agent added in the
fluids would change the dryness of the discharged solids and liquid.

GN’s latest C version decanter centrifuge
with VFD control
panel
is an ideal machine to do all the above jobs, as it can be adjusted
easily via HMI system to run at RPM from 0 to more than 3000.

Waste materials Thermal desorption unit

What kind of waste materials can be treated
with thermal desorption unit (TDU)

Thermal desorption unit
(TDU)
is mainly used to treat the waste solids discharged from drilling
waste management equipment
, like vertical cuttings dryer, high G drying
shaker
, decanter centrifuge, etc… In theory, all oil type solids whose vaporization
point is below 420 degree centigrade could be treated with thermal desorption
unit (TDU). The oil type solids above mentioned is oily waste with a certain
amount solids, like mixture of mud and sand, the oily sludge after tank
cleaning.

Functions of Thermal desorption (TDU) unit
for waste materials

The pyrolysis furnace roller in thermal
desorption unit (TDU) heat the waste material in spilling way, and the material
is pushed forward by shoveling plates weld with a certain angle on the roller’s
inner wall. If the material is only oily mud, the spilling character would be
lower. The Pyrolysis Oil can be used as fuel oil. Diesel and heavy oil can also
be used as alternative fuel type for the startup and running of the thermal
desorption unit.  

Many people are wondering if the thermal
desorption unit can be used to treat waste tires or not. Below explanation can
be taken for your information.

Generally speaking, the Thermal desorption
unit (TDU) is mostly designed and used for oily sludge or oil waste from oil
and gas drilling field. And it is suggested to be used only for oily sludge or
oil waste. In principle, it can be used to treat the waste tire. But you need
to take out the steel wire from the tires and chock it into small pieces and
add some extra material to prevent it to bond on the drum unit,. And the size
after bond is better no larger than 30mm*30mm*30mm. normally, the thermal
desorption unit (TDU) have the dust removal system for the gas, But depends on
the local regulations, you may need extra treatment system for the discharges.
