APMA series Mud agitator is combination of gear box and motor. It"s important to drilling mud process and fit on mud tanks as 3 meters per set. Except the shaker tank/compartment every tank and compartment will be fit with mud agitator. Mud agiators help to maintain mud property and keep the solids suspend for necessary mud propery and further mud process. Almost of agitator for drilling fluids system are horizontal design. On mud tanks, the separated control panel for each agitator is a good design.
Mud tank size defines agitator number and model, besides, mud property will affect agitators selection. For example, usually we put one set agitator per 3 meters on tank. According to tank width and height, the agitator can be APMA7.5, or APMA15. And if the tanks are same size, then we"ll consider the mud property. Such as mud gravity is 1.8sg we may need 7.5kw, while mud gravity is 2.4sg, we may need APMA15 driven by 20hp motor. Agitator speed defined by motor and gear box. For example, if we use APMA7.5 agitator, the motor is 10hp and speed is 1450rpm. The gear box reduce ratio is 25:1, then the agitator shaft/impller speed is 58rpm. If we use 10hp motor under 60Hz condition, its speed is 1740rpm then, and the reduction ratio is 25:1 still, then the shaft speed is about 70rpm
In a complete mud system, how many sets agitator do we need? For oil and gas drilling, there are different configuration on tanks number, tanks size, so it"s not easy to confirm. But we can take a system as an example. One mud system laying with 6 tanks, and tanks size are 9mX2.2mX2.3m. The normal proposal is 3 sets of agitator per tank. But there is a shaker tank, then we deduct 1 set. So, probably we need 17 sets of agitator. And the agitators are APM7.5 driven by 7.5kw motor.
How to select agitators? As we said just now, according to mud tank size and mud tank property. And before confirmation on agitator selection, we"d better to inquire professional engineer or consultant. There is a formula for agitator selection or design. Aipu will help user to get right solution at the best cost
Is there any other configuration on agitator type or drive system? Yes. Some clients prefer the hydraulic drive for some specific use. Some clients need the vertical agitator.

In the exploration for hydrocarbons, drilling a successful hole is an integral part of the process and is contingent upon the drilling fluid"s performance (McCosh and Getliff, 2004 in Udoh et al., 2012). Udoh and Okon (2012) reported that drilling process involves the penetration of the earth"s crust to several thousand feet where the hydrocarbons are accumulated in the reservoir using rotary drilling process to create a passage for the discovered hydrocarbon reserves to be produced at the surface. To achieve this cardinal objective of a drilling operation, the formulated drilling fluid used must exert its basic functions. In drilling engineering literature, drilling fluid is also referred to as “drilling mud”, and generally viewed as the “blood” of all drilling operations in the petroleum industry (Udoh et al., 2012). Annudeep (2012) maintained that drilling fluids are complex heterogeneous fluids, consisting of several additives used in the drilling of oil and natural gas wells since the early 1900s. According to Odunukwe (2015), a complete drilling fluid system must be properly designed to efficiently construct a well. Thus, some of the basic drilling fluid functions include removal of drill cuttings to the surface, bottom-hole cleaning, maintaining the wellbore stability, controlling high-pressure zones, etc. Among the enumerated drilling fluid functions, a major one is to seal the walls of the formation being drilled to prevent filtration. Hence, Feng et al. (2009) opined that one of the most desired properties of drilling fluid is the minimum fluid loss volume which can be achieved by the development of a low permeability filter cake on the wellbore. Therefore, every drilling fluid is designed to avoid a continuous fluid loss to the open-hole drilled which is highly undesirable (Azar and Samuel, 2007). Agwu and Akpabio (2018) added that drilling fluids are designed to reduce filtrate loss, form thin filter cakes that plaster the walls of the borehole to ensure minimal fluid loss and promote stability of the drilled well. As reported by Agwu et al. (2019), the continuous fluid loss to the formation led to thick mud cake which in some cases resulted in pipe sticking, drag and torque problems, among others. Besides, Kosynkin et al. (2011) mentioned that fluid invasion into porous media can damage reservoirs and reduce productivity by blocking hydrocarbon exit flow paths or causing wellbore collapse. Therefore, filtration control is important for both drilling performance and well productivity (Herzraft et al., 2001; Oleas et al., 2008).
In a drilling operation, filtration control is the addition of materials to drilling mud to reduce filtration rate and improve mud cake characteristics (Bourgoyne et al., 2003). The two mechanisms responsible for the filter cake build-up process during the drilling process are static and dynamic filtration mechanisms (Bageri et al., 2013). The static filtration occurs during drilling fluid non-circulation period, while dynamic filtration happens when the drilling fluid is in circulation. According to Agwu and Akpabio (2018), a thin filter cake has a low permeability which is an attractive property since it has a lot to do with the usability and functionality of the drilled wellbore, while a thick filter cake will cause lots of problems which include: differential pipe sticking, loss circulation, casing installation, etc. To handle this major functionality of drilling fluid, drilling mud engineers have been formulating drilling fluids with commercial polymers, namely, polyanionic cellulose (PAC) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as well as various polymers as fluid loss control additives (Caenn and Chillingar, 1996). However, Anawe-Paul and Adewale (2018) reported that these fluid loss control additives have limitations at high temperatures, high salinity or hardness and can also increase mud viscosity. They maintained that the commercial polymer CMC can withstand high temperature up to 300 °F, but deflocculates clay at low concentration, and lower gel strength and yield point of the drilling fluid. Also, sodium polyacrylate (PAC) is more temperature stable than CMC but it is extremely calcium sensitive. For starch as fluid loss control additive, it is relatively unaffected by water salinity or hardness, thus, mostly used in drilling fluids with high salt concentration but it cannot be used in drilling fluids that are exposed to high temperatures, as its thermal degradation begins at about 200 °F. Also, Bourgoyne et al. (2003) stated that starch is subjected to bacterial action and must be used with preservative except in salt-saturated water-based drilling fluids or drilling fluids with a pH above 11.5.
In recent times, there has been a shift in the use of commercial polymers to locally sourced materials as fluid loss control additives in water-based drilling fluids (Tugwell, 2018). According to Davoodi et al. (2018), the locally sourced additive has been introduced to the drilling industry for reducing the drilling fluid cost and the impact of the toxic chemicals on the ecosystem. In this direction, Agwu and Akpabio (2018) holistically looked at some of the works done in the use of local materials as fluid loss control additive in drilling fluids; as presented in Table 1. They mentioned that most studies were on water-based drilling fluid using sawdust, walnut shells, Arabic gum, starch (from cassava, corn and potato), rice husk, among others. Also, they pointed out that most of the researchers graduated the concentration of the material they used; most probably to know the optimal content of the material that would reduce filtration loss in drilling fluid. A look at these locally sourced materials used so far as fluid loss control additives in drilling fluids indicated that they are either cellulose (eg. sawdust, rice husk, groundnut husk, corn cob, walnut shell) or hydrocolloid (eg. gum arabic, starch, etc.) based products. For the hydrocolloid based products, they are very good thickeners, which is the potential of some of the locally sourced materials in this work. Hence, this study intends to evaluate two hydrocolloid based products: Detarium microcarpum and Brachystegia eurycoma, and one cellulose-based product, rice husk as fluid loss control additive in water-based drilling fluid to establish their filtration capabilities.

Drilling mud performance, such as shale stability, viscosity, cooling or lubrication depend on many factors. Uniformity and consistency in quality in of utmost importance. Ultrasonic shear mixing is very effective in the manufacturing of uniform particle size distributions and therefore better dispersion and emulsion stability. This prevents phase separation or settling during storage, transportation or while in the mud pits.
Today drilling mud specifications change frequently. Hielscher ultrasonic reactors are very adaptable to drilling liquid formulation changes. By changing from traditional batch mixing to ultrasonic inline-single-pass mixing, you can make different drilling mud types on the same ultrasonic machine. This helps to reduce inventory and shelf storage time.
Weighting agents, like barium sulfite (barite) must not separate from the mud during storage, transportation or drilling. In accordance with Stokes’ Law, smaller particles sediment slower or not at all. Ultrasonic dispersion avoids larger agglomerates, that can cause dispersion instability. Dispersing a system can increase its tolerance for solids, making it possible to weight up to 20 lb/gallon (US) or 2.4g/cm3.
When preparing drilling muds, bentonite clay powder and other additive powders introduce a lot of air into the drilling mud. This gas is entrapped within liquid systems and may cause separation and a loss in emulsifier or stabilizer performance. Repeated compressions (high-pressure cycles) and rarefactions (low-pressure cycles) during the ultrasonication let dissolved gasses migrate and form small microbubbles. Ultrasonic waves then force the gas microbubbles into coalescence. The ultrasonic high cavitational shear reduces the viscosity of shear thinning and thixotropic drilling fluids. This lets air bubbles rise faster. This leads to for better gas separation in downstream separator tanks or vacuum degassing. Degassing increases mud weight, reduces viscosity and separation issues. Less gas bubbles reduce the use of emulsifiers, stabilizers, surfactants or dispersing agents. This reduces the cost per barrel. A reduction in gas content can curb aerobic microbial growth, too.
New regulations restrict the amount of certain chemicals to be used in muds in order to minimize environmental impact. This requires the adaptation of formulations to the new regulatory framework. Ultrasonication can help you to maximize the performance of drilling mud components, so you can use less and lower cost materials. Hielscher offers drilling mud formulation testing in our lab. Including kinematic viscosity measurements at various temperatures with and without shear.
Hielscher ultrasonic reactors can handle larger and abrasive particles or agglomerates. Therefore you can start with an agglomerated pumpable slurry or drilling mud components. When mixing powders and particles into the fluid ultrasonic probes show much less abrasion wear than rotor-stator mixers or high-pressure homogenizers. Hielscher ultrasonic probes are made of grade 5 titanium for enhanced corrosion resistance, e.g. when seawater is used in WBMs instead of freshwater. Ultrasonic reactors have no rotary seals or bearings. Hielscher ultrasonic mixers are industrial grade for heavy-duty use – onshore and offshore (rig). Generally, the ultrasonic reactors are oriented vertically for a small footprint.
