Control cabins are tailored to the installation area layout and incorporate integrated control system equipment for hands-off mixing, dosing, and transfer operations. They feature a noise- and vibration-insulated housing as well as windows, lights, and HVAC.

Field instrumentation incorporates a range of packages to enhance and support the control experience. Their level indicators, pressure transmitters, and density transmitters offer precise degree of measurement and indication.

A mud pump is a reciprocating piston/plunger pump designed to circulate drilling fluid under high pressure (up to 7,500 psi (52,000 kPa)) down the drill string and back up the annulus. A duplex mud pump is an important part of the equipment used for oil well drilling.

Duplex mud pumps (two piston/plungers) have generally been replaced by the triplex pump, but are still common in developing countries. Two later developments are the hex pump with six vertical pistons/plungers, and various quintuplex’s with five horizontal piston/plungers. The advantages that Duplex mud pumps have over convention triplex pumps is a lower mud noise which assists with better Measurement while drilling and Logging while drilling decoding.

Use duplex mud pumps to make sure that the circulation of the mud being drilled or the supply of liquid reaches the bottom of the well from the mud cleaning system. Despite being older technology than the triplex mud pump, the duplex mud pumps can use either electricity or diesel, and maintenance is easy due to their binocular floating seals and safety valves.

A mud pump is composed of many parts including mud pump liner, mud pump piston, modules, hydraulic seat pullers, and other parts. Parts of a mud pump:housing itself

Duplex pumps are used to provide a secondary means of fuel transfer in the event of a failure of the primary pump. Each pump in a duplex set is sized to meet the full flow requirements of the system. Pump controllers can be set for any of the following common operating modes:Lead / Lag (Primary / Secondary): The lead (primary) pump is selected by the user and the lag (secondary pump operates when a failure of the primary pump is detected.

Alternating: Operates per Lead / Lag (Primary / Secondary) except that the operating pump and lead / lag status alternate on consecutive starts. A variation is to alternate the pumps based on the operating time (hour meter) of the lead pump.

Continental Emsco Drilling Products, Inc., which consisted of Emsco drilling machinery and Wilson mobile rigs, was purchased by National-Oilwell, Inc on July 7, 1999. To our knowledge, no pumps have been manufactured and sold under the Emsco brand name since National-Oilwell acquired them.

Fairbanks Morse pumps are currently manufactured in Kansas City, Kansas. Fairbanks Morse is a division of Pentair ever since August, 1997 when Pentair purchased the General Signal Pump Group.

Gaso pumps are manufactured by National Oilwell Varco. Gaso was acquired as "Wheatley Gaso" by National-Oilwell in the year 2000. At the time, Wheatley Gaso was owned by Halliburton.

Skytop Brewster pumps are no longer available as new pumps. Skytop Brewster(Cnsld Gold), a unit of Hansen PLC"s Consolidated Gold Fields subsidiary, was acquired while in bankruptcy by National-Oilwell, Inc. in November, 1999.

Monitor Systems were asked to design, manufacture, install, test and commission a new Zone 2 Certified mud pump console for the Amirante Semi-submersible. Three mud pumps operate on the Transocean Amirante, and the new console had to incorporate the control of all three pumps in one stainless steel wall mounted enclosure.

The accurate and safe control of the mud pump on any drilling rig is of huge importance to the operator. The drilling rig mud pump is the main device on the rig designed to circulate drilling fluid under high pressure (< 7,500 psi) down the drill string and back up the annulus.

Mud pumps are considered vital to the operation of the drilling rig. If the mud pumps fail it affects production and can be very costly to repair due to the downtime in production.

Monitor Systems have an experienced team of in-house engineers that are knowledged specifically in the design, manufacture, FAT and installation of Zone 2 Atex compliant control panels, enclosures and instrumentation.

Our custom design and engineering service means that we are able to build control, monitoring and instrumentation systems to unique and compliant requirements.

The Mud tanks system consists of equipment on board that contributes to the storage, mixing, circulation and purification of drilling fluid. Drilling fluid is very expensive and large volumes are used in connection with drilling a well. It is therefore desirable to reuse drilling mud.

The mud tank system removes drilling cuttings that come up from the hole along with the drilling mud so that the cleaned mud can be returned to the well. If the mud does not have the proper properties in relation to the well, it can result in major damage to the well and the drilling equipment. After the cleaning process, the drilling mud is carefully checked to make sure that the cleaning system has done a satisfactory job.

The mud tanks cleaning system is built together of different components according to your needs. It is not desirable to extract too many particles from the drilling mud because it means that the mud must be added to more weight material before returning to the well. There is a difference in how the cleaning system looks and what accessories are used from rig to rig.

There are very strict limits for the discharge of drilling mud due to HSE. It is important to have a focus and be concentrated when dealing with mud circulation and treatment. However, there is a difference if you drill with water-based or oil-based drilling mud. If water-based mud is used, it is permitted to release the drill cuttings back into the sea as long as there is no hydrocarbon contamination on the cuttings. This is not permitted for drill cuttings contaminated by oil-based mud. In cases where oil-based mud is drilled, all cuttings must be collected and sent to shore for further processing.

When drilling a well, large quantities of drilling mud are needed. There should be enough mud for the entire well, all the surface equipment and something in mind. It is also desirable to replace parts or all of the drilling mud along the drilling stages as formation properties change.

In addition, comes the volume that the riser contains when the well is connected to the surface with BOP and riser. This requires that there is sufficient storage space for drilling mud on board the installation.

Most installations have a two-part fluid storage system; stock for base drilling mud and stock for pre-mixed drilling fluid. Base drilling mud contains the basic chemicals needed regardless of how the pre-mixed drilling mud should be.

It consists of the liquid (water or oil-based mud), weight material (barite) and bentonite which increases the viscosity of the liquid. The base mud is used to mix the pre-mixed mud.

Base drilling fluid is transported by boat to the field and pumped over to the installation. On board the platform, large tanks are stored in the shafts or in a suitable area (mud module) if the platform has no shaft. The size of the storage mud tanks varies and they can be so large that they have a total capacity of over 2500 m³ base drilling mud.

On floating rigs, there is usually 600 to 1800 m³ of storage capacity for drilling fluid. Floating rigs often have two different storage systems, main storage for mud on the deck near the pump room, and spare storage in the legs (shafts) or pontoons. In addition, the dry matter barite and bentonite are stored in their own bulk stations on board.

If drilling mud remains in the tanks for too long without movement, the barite in the drilling mud will fall to the bottom of the tank. Therefore, all tanks onboard are equipped with one or more agitators, depending on the size of the tank.

When one needs to make ready-mixed mud, base mud is pumped through pipelines from the tanks into the shaft and into smaller tanks called active mud tanks . These smaller thoughts are often referred to as pit .

In the mud, weight material, viscosity-increasing material, or other additives that are needed as needed in the well are added. This is done by means of a transfer pump which pumps the mud from the tank you want to mix into, through pipelines, and back to the same tank. This tank is then regarded as an active mixing tank. On this trip, the drilling mud has been inside the mixing room and the desired chemicals have been added to achieve the properties necessary for the drilling mud.

Weight material, viscosity increasing material and additives can be taken on board in powder form. It is stored in the bulk system, sacks and big-bags. When mixed, it is pumped to the mixing station where everything is collected in a piping system that goes to the pit.

The mud is circulated in the mixing loop, added chemicals, and tested until the mud engineer is satisfied with the drilling mud’s properties. Once the mud engineer is satisfied, the mud is ready-mixed and ready to be pumped through the circulation system using the mud pumps. The mud is stored in the pit until it is ready for mud exchange in the well.

While mixing of new drilling mud is taking place, active drilling mud can be circulated through the well and surface system of the other active tanks. When the new mud is to be used, the active pit is disconnected and the mixing tank is connected to the mud pumps which circulate the mud to the well. Now the mixing tank changes the status to active pit on the system.

The tanks attached to the pump room are smaller than the storage tanks. The size of the tanks can vary from 15 m 3 to 80 m³. The big differences come from the volume required by various dilling mud mixtures. The tanks have names like Active, Reserve, Chemical, and Slug. Sewage tank is used to mix a small amount of mud with special properties (often called a pill). Chemicals that give the mud special properties are added to the chemical tank. The chemical tank is a closed system with suction for the safe handling of the chemicals. The reserve tank often contains heavy mud (kill mud) which is clear in case you get a kick in the well.
