Some mud pump for drilling rig options use caterpillar tread to move. Others use rubber tires, while others require a separate means of transport. Caterpillar tread propulsion can climb up to 25 degrees inclination. Some products in the range are capable of drilling over 200 meters, while others are only used for open-pit mining with depths of around 3 meters. Drilling can be done vertically downwards, horizontally, or in a slanting direction. Drilling speed depends on the power of the machine and the general hardness of the surface. The hole diameter can vary from 90mm to 200mm.

A comprehensive range of mud pumping, mixing, and processing equipment is designed to streamline many essential but time-consuming operational and maintenance procedures, improve operator safety and productivity, and reduce costly system downtime.

I’ve run into several instances of insufficient suction stabilization on rigs where a “standpipe” is installed off the suction manifold. The thought behind this design was to create a gas-over-fluid column for the reciprocating pump and eliminate cavitation.

When the standpipe is installed on the suction manifold’s deadhead side, there’s little opportunity to get fluid into all the cylinders to prevent cavitation. Also, the reciprocating pump and charge pump are not isolated.

The suction stabilizer’s compressible feature is designed to absorb the negative energies and promote smooth fluid flow. As a result, pump isolation is achieved between the charge pump and the reciprocating pump.

The isolation eliminates pump chatter, and because the reciprocating pump’s negative energies never reach the charge pump, the pump’s expendable life is extended.

Investing in suction stabilizers will ensure your pumps operate consistently and efficiently. They can also prevent most challenges related to pressure surges or pulsations in the most difficult piping environments.

Sigma Drilling Technologies’ Charge Free Suction Stabilizer is recommended for installation. If rigs have gas-charged cartridges installed in the suction stabilizers on the rig, another suggested upgrade is the Charge Free Conversion Kits.

5.-- Compact, safe suction valve and discharge valve are interchangeable, main components of hydraulic cylinder and fluid end on each pump are interchangeable

6.-- Durable fluid end greatly improves the performance of triplex mud pump; furthermore, its independent structure makes examination and maintenance convenient

There are many different ways to drill a domestic water well. One is what we call the “mud rotary” method. Whether or not this is the desired and/or best method for drilling your well is something more fully explained in this brief summary.

One advantage of drilling with compressed air is that it can tell you when you have encountered groundwater and gives you an indication how much water the borehole is producing. When drilling with water using the mud rotary method, the driller must rely on his interpretation of the borehole cuttings and any changes he can observe in the recirculating fluid. Mud rotary drillers can also use borehole geophysical tools to interpret which zones might be productive enough for your water well.

The mud rotary well drilling method is considered a closed-loop system. That is, the mud is cleaned of its cuttings and then is recirculated back down the borehole. Referring to this drilling method as “mud” is a misnomer, but it is one that has stuck with the industry for many years and most people understand what the term actually means.

The water is carefully mixed with a product that should not be called mud because it is a highly refined and formulated clay product—bentonite. It is added, mixed, and carefully monitored throughout the well drilling process.

The purpose of using a bentonite additive to the water is to form a thin film on the walls of the borehole to seal it and prevent water losses while drilling. This film also helps support the borehole wall from sluffing or caving in because of the hydraulic pressure of the bentonite mixture pressing against it. The objective of the fluid mixture is to carry cuttings from the bottom of the borehole up to the surface, where they drop out or are filtered out of the fluid, so it can be pumped back down the borehole again.

When using the mud rotary method, the driller must have a sump, a tank, or a small pond to hold a few thousand gallons of recirculating fluid. If they can’t dig sumps or small ponds, they must have a mud processing piece of equipment that mechanically screens and removes the sands and gravels from the mixture. This device is called a “shale shaker.”

The driller does not want to pump fine sand through the pump and back down the borehole. To avoid that, the shale shaker uses vibrating screens of various sizes and desanding cones to drop the sand out of the fluid as it flows through the shaker—so that the fluid can be used again.

Some drillers use compressed air to blow off the well, starting at the first screened interval and slowly working their way to the bottom—blowing off all the water standing above the drill pipe and allowing it to recover, and repeating this until the water blown from the well is free of sand and relatively clean. If after repeated cycles of airlift pumping and recovery the driller cannot find any sand in the water, it is time to install a well development pump.

Additional development of the well can be done with a development pump that may be of a higher capacity than what the final installation pump will be. Just as with cycles of airlift pumping of the well, the development pump will be cycled at different flow rates until the maximum capacity of the well can be determined. If the development pump can be operated briefly at a flow rate 50% greater than the permanent pump, the well should not pump sand.

Mud rotary well drillers for decades have found ways to make this particular system work to drill and construct domestic water wells. In some areas, it’s the ideal method to use because of the geologic formations there, while other areas of the country favor air rotary methods.

Some drilling rigs are equipped to drill using either method, so the contractor must make the decision as to which method works best in your area, for your well, and at your point in time.

To learn more about the difference between mud rotary drilling and air rotary drilling, click the video below. The video is part of our “NGWA: Industry Connected” YouTube series:

REASON: This is the mud engineers Bible on the rig. It is based on prior knowledge of all drilling parameters and gives you a step by step plan for present well being drilled. It would guide you all though the drilling process.

Study your silos, pits, mud tanks, storage tank names, its contents, volume, dead volume capacity, properties of their contents (mud: especially Mud weight).

REASON: You don’t want to be taken unawares, you need to know the type of mud you have in each pit (where your backup mud is, kill mud if any, premix, etc.), you need to be sure you have enough mud to reach TD (Total depth) most especially if the logistics of transporting mud to the rig n’est pas facile, or takes days to arrive. Finally without knowing the properties of the mud you are introducing to the active system you would not be sure if what is affecting your active mud system is coming from the formation or from the mud you are introducing to the active mud.

REASON: If there’s going to be a rig operation such as displacement, or cement job that requires you to bypass fluids to different pits or dump fluids (to avoid contamination) you need to know your lines and valves and where it leads to before such operations.

Obtain the shaker screen inventory upon arrival of any rig from the store man or tool pusher or whoever is in charge or create one if none is available.

REASON: You need to be sure the shaker screens can handle the flow if the mud is cold if not temporarily screen down to a lower size mesh or ask the driller to reduce the flow rate if permissible.

REASON: Drilling fluids would normally splash the rig crew on the rig floor while pulling and racking back pipes when a stand is removed from the drill string. So a slug (same mud but with 2-2.5 ppg higher density) would be prepared in the slug tank, and pumped into the drill string. This keeps the fluids level inside the drill pipe below the surface when tripping drill pipe.

For a leak off test (LOT), the mud has to be circulated to obtain uniform weight and condition. The primary concern for the mud engineer is to ensure an equal mud weight all through the mud. Mud weight going in to the hole should be equal to mud weight coming out of the hole at the shakers.

REASON: The well needs to be properly monitored. Instead speak with the mud loggers to convert the pit you want to transfer fluid from to the active system from a Reserve pit to an Active pit on their system then you can gradually make your transfers that way all volumes would be shown as active pit volume.

REASON: If the amount and average specific gravity of the solids in both fluids (i.e. the density) are different the mud weight would be a good indicator of the fluids interface during a displacement.

REASON: Calculate your hole volume, that means equal amount of mud on surface will leave you pit, so get the derrick man or personnel assisting you in the pit room to inform you when hole volume has been pumped.

REASON: Using a technique called nephelometry the turbidity can be measured. When light hits a particle the energy is scattered in all directions, it measures the level of light scattered by particles at right angles to the incident light beam. Initial NTU readings of both fluids would be the reference point for identification. After the Hi-vis passes through the driller should be told to stop pumping when the initial NTU of the filtered brine has been achieved.

For water based mud with a low alkalinity use phenolphthalein also. Add it to the mud and check for change of color to pink to know when traces of cement are on surface.

REASON: Note differences in weight between mud, spacer and cement before displacement of cement. The mud weight difference between the three fluids is a good indicator of the fluids interface on surface.

REASON: The first step is removal of cuttings from the borehole and the drilling fluid after which the mud should be condition before placing cement in the wellbore, either the density (not compromising well control) or the rheology depending on the situation. For the rheology, the yield stress, gel strength and plastic viscosity would be reduced hence reducing the driving forces necessary to displace mud with increased mud flexibility while being careful to prevent barite settling.

REASON: With no pit space to store the equivalent mud volume being replaced down hole, all pit levels should be recorded at all stages during the cement job. You would need to visit the pit room and return to the cement unit (while measuring cement density) at appropriate moments.

Measure all tank volumes before cement job i.e. when the mud has been thinned down and pump has been stopped (pit static). In case of leaks or valve mistakes all pits should be recorded.

If we get full returns during cementing it means that the cement displaced equal amount of mud and there was no loss down hole due to the cement job or due to displacement.

Prior to running casing, calculate the displacement of the casing first to know the volume it would displace, calculating from the mud line up to the casing depth.

REASON: From the cement program calculate the total volume of the fluids /cement that would be pumped into the hole that is not mud so as to confirm tank space to receive equal volume from the hole. If no available tank space/storage space then OBM should be back-loaded before the cement job to create space.

REASON: If it’s the pay zone, losses would require the use of acid-soluble LCM to prevent formation damage. Also considering down hole tools and motors, certain concentrations of LCM pills would not be pumped to avoid plugging/damaging the tools unless a bypass tool is part of the BHA.

Bit balling occurs in soft gumbo / swelling shales while drilling, the shale adsorbs water from the mud it then becomes plastic with a ball of compacted shale building up and covering the whole bit, stabilizers and drill collars, thus preventing further drilling progress.

To be certain it’s a bit balling issue we are dealing with the mud engineer should observe some of the following or collect the following information from the following rig personnel, with the first 3 information from the driller being very important:

To prevent bit balling from occurring it is advisable to adopt procedures that worked in your geographical area in overcoming bit balling by always reviewing previous drilling mud report (DMR).

· Use mud system that can inhibit clay swelling example: Formulating KCl mud with PHPA (to avoid using higher concentrations of KCl) in which KCl prevents clay swelling while PHPA (partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide ) coats the shales surfaces (encapsulates) thereby inhibiting their dispersion and incorporation into the mud.7

· “When drilling gumbo, the pH should be maintained at 9.0-10.0. If bit balling occurs, increase the mud alkalinity (PM) to 5 or more with lime”.8

· “If all else fails, before you trip out of the hole, you might pump a walnut-hull sweep. It will tend to sandblast the bit and remove the ball, and won’t hurt the mud. Don’t try this if you are running small jets in the bit, as plugging can be an issue.”11

A Drilling fluids Engineer should be able to observe or carry out a test and subsequently identify the reason for a high or a low mud weight in a water-base mud or an oil-base mud system.

Before looking at the reason why the mud weight reduced or increased from the given mud program specification, it’s good to know that the major function of drilling fluids is to provide sufficient pressure to check influx of gas, oil, and water into the well bore from the drilled formation.

The hydrostatic head of the mud column must be at least equal to that of the formation pressure, and hopefully greater, but not so high as to cause loss of circulation (except where an over balanced / under balanced drilling are specifically desired).

The mud weight materials could be barite, calcium carbonate or soluble salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium chloride (KCl) and calcium chloride (CaCl2). Sometimes the desired mud weight can be achieved by combining additions of salts and barite.

a. Mud Weight (Density) Test: The mud balance may indicate that mud weight is too high or too low. b. Retort Test: The test may indicate that the percent solids by volume is high, and your solids content calculations (lb/bbl low and high gravity solids) may indicate that barite content is too high or too low. c. Rheology tests: Indicates increase or decrease in viscosity

a. Increase in pump pressure: This can indicate an increase in Mud weight. b. Change in penetration rate: Increase in penetration rate may indicate decrease in mud weight while decrease in penetration rate may indicate increase in mud weight. c. Gas bubbles: This definitely indicates decrease in mud weight.
