hex 240 mud pump in stock

The Hex Pump is an axial piston mud pump with six vertical pistons driven by two AC motors via a gear and a specially profiled cam. In contrast to crankshaft-driven triplex pumps, the Hex pump delivers a nearly pulsation free flow. Consequently, there is no need for pulsation dampeners on either the suction or discharge side when running this pump. Other major advantages are compactness (reduced weight and footprint) and no need for replacing liner sizes to achieve high pressure or flow. The Hex 240 version with 4 1/2" liners has a rated capacity of 2540 HP, a maximum rated pressure of 7500 PSI and a maximum flow capacity of 1034 GPM.

The Hex Pump has substantially less weight than a comparable Triplex pump, and this results in increased variable deck load capacity on drilling units. The potential cost savings related to increased variable deck load capacity both on new builds and on existing rigs will be discussed in this paper. Also, the potential steel weight reduction in the substructure on drilling units will be discussed.

The Hex Pump creates a clean standpipe pressure with much lower pressure fluctuation levels than triplex pumps. Due to this, there are no need for pulsation dampeners when running the Hex Pump. This additionally leads to much better and cleaner MWD-signals for the directional driller. As a consequence, this will contribute to faster and more accurate drilling in long and complicated directional wells.

The design and development of the Hex Pump is described in SPE paper 79831, ref /1/; "Development and Performance Testing of the Hex Mud Pump", but for the understanding of this paper it is important to understand the functionality of the Hex Pump design. Some of the main items are therefore repeated in this paper. SPE paper 92507, ref. /2/, "Operational experience with use of a Hex Pump on a land rig" focuses on the improved MWD-measurements related to use of Hex Pump compared to triplex pumps. Some of the main items discussed there will also be repeated in this paper.

A mud pump is a reciprocating piston device designed to circulate drilling fluid under high pressure. RS-240 triplex single-acting piston pump is a horizontal, triplex, single acting reciprocation piston pump which is reliable, agile and simple for operation. It can be driven by diesel engine, electric motor or hydraulic motor. RS-240 triplex single-acting piston pump is characterized by compact structure, smooth running, large-scale variable rates of flow, high output pressure, long service life and so on.

As a well-known global mud pump manufacturer, we provide all kinds of mud pump to meet the needs of different construction demands. RS-240 triplex single-acting piston pump provides 4 different discharge pressure, and it is mainly used to match horizontal directional pipe laying drilling machine. The pump can meet the needs of construction for water well and earth heat, superficial layer oil drilling and mine drainage.

Our pump stroke counter systems (CPS101 Series) measure the stroke rate and number of strokes on mud pumps. The oilfield pump stroke system is user-friendly and reliable and is configurable to measure up to three mud pumps at once. Our digital pump stroke counter systems are manufactured here in the U.S. by Crown Oilfield Instrumentation, and Crown’s Pump Stroke Counter provides easy monitoring of strokes per minute on multiple mud pumps. Each mud pumps’s stroke rate can be selected individually and the display is updated regularly for accurate monitoring. LCD displays indicate both pumps strokes per minute and the total number of strokes. Located at the bottom of the panel, push buttons provide easy operation and reseting of each pump. When you need to accurately monitor and maintain the amount of mud being pumped, you can trust Crown’s oilfield stroke counters.

An integral part of onshore and offshore drilling, mud pumps circulate the drilling fluids used to facilitate drilling oil and natural gas wells. Used to stabilize pressure and support the well during the drilling process, drilling fluids also provide friction reduction and a means to remove cuttings.

While drilling with some type of fluid has been in practice for centuries, the term "drilling mud" was coined when a herd of cattle was driven through a wet field near Spindletop, and the resulting mud was used to lubricate the drillstring and drill bit. Drilling fluids have come a long way since those early days of drilling, and offshore mud pumps are constantly taxed to help operators find and develop hydrocarbons in harsher, deeper and more difficult locations.

"A mud pump delivers drilling fluid from the mud tanks, through the top drive, down the drill string and through the bit," explained Juan Lerma, Mud Pumps Product Line Manager at National Oilwell Varco. "When the mud exits the bit, it travels back to the surface carrying the cuttings made by the bit where it flows over a shale-shaker removing the cuttings, cleaning the mud and returning it to the tanks, where it"s used over and over again."

"A mud pump is one of the critical and required pieces of equipment for a drilling rig whether on land or offshore," Lerma stated. "Offshore, where real estate is at a premium, mud pumps are configured with a compact top-mounted drive system, reducing the overall length with a smaller package and strategically placing it in the pump room for permanent installation."

"Jackups semis and drillships all use the same mud pumps; however, the number of pumps installed in the pump rooms changes from rig to rig depending on the drilling specifications," explained Lerma.

Additionally, the rock formations and pressure encountered when drilling may vary; HT/HP and environmental conditions also may affect the drilling process, as well as the drilling fluids chosen and mud pumps required.

"As the drilling programs require higher flows and higher pressures, it is necessary to increase pressure ratings and either increase the number of mud pumps required or utilize larger capacity mud pumps," Lerma continued. "Most early jackups utilized two mud pumps and piping systems rated for 5000 psi work pressures and 1600 horsepower, while most of today"s jackups have 7500 psi working pressure and up to four 2200 HP pumps piping systems."

According to information gathered by premium rig data service RigLogix, National Oilwell Varco leads the pack in providing mud pumps to offshore oil rigs. Of the top six brands of mud pumps, NOV supplies four of them, garnering more than 70% of the offshore mud pump market.

Those leading NOV brands include National Oilwell, Continental Emsco (which was acquired by NOV in 1999), National and NOV. The other leading mud pump system is provided by Gardner Denver and is the third most popular type of system offshore. Additionally, Lewco, a division of Rowan, has about 4% of the offshore mud pump market, putting it fifth on the list of leading suppliers.

With more than four decades of experience providing the offshore industry with mud pumps, Lerma revealed that the company has been able to sustain such a high market share by constantly transforming the product to meet the needs of the industry. As offshore drilling programs have required higher flows and pressures, the company has strived to provide the best quality equipment, while maintaining the lowest cost of ownership.

To better serve its offshore clients, the company developed the Hex Pump in the last several years, and this new line of mud pumps has proven a success in offshore waters worldwide. Boasting 2400 HP, the Hex pump is capable of delivering up to 1,034 gallons of drilling fluids per minute, making it one of the most powerful mud pumps on the market today.

In 2004, the first two Hex Pumps were deployed on a Global Santa Fe rig working offshore West Africa, and in 2005, both the Noble Max Smith and the Noble All While started using the Hex Pump as well. In fact, the Noble Al White, working in the harsh conditions of the North Sea, was the first rig to be solely dependent on the Hex Pumps with two of them located in its pump room, and the rig now has more than 8,000 hours of successful drilling operations using the system.

"The first drillship to use the system, Transocean"s Discoverer Clear Leader just started drilling in the Gulf of Mexico with five Hex Pump systems," said Lerma. "Additionally, the soon-to-start-drilling Discoverer Americas houses four Hex Pumps, and the soon-to-be-delivered Discoverer Inspiration will have five."
