Solids control method that works on HDD rig

There are steps need to perform for achieving an effectiveness solids control for HDD drilling. Fist, choose a cost-effective solids control system from a company who have service staffs and spare parts available at movement's notice. (GN SOLID AMERICA LLC, located in Houston, Texas) Second, make sure the HDD solids control system acquired is capable of making both a scalp cut solids and a fine cut solids that has sufficient drilling fluid mixing and re-circulating capacity.

Shale shaker  is the machinery that acts as first stage of solids control for the drilling mud.  Without it, other solids control machinery will not function properly later.  Shale shaker need to filter the cores solids from the mud as much as possible.  This steps perform  will change from formation to formation and will require operators to maintain a variety of screens on hand. Always maintain an adequate inventory of recommended spare parts and screens. If not, find the vendor that can deliver the parts and dispatch service personal in very short notice.  A good solids control system is only effective when you certify and assign rig personnel to be responsible for equipment operation and maintenance. 

In today, the amount of R&D aimed at HDD drilling fluids is considered a rounding error in the oligopoly of drilling fluid manufacturers. However, the trends strongly suggest that the future of HDD drilling will follow a similar evolution as experienced by the traditional oil and gas industry.

Couple the evolution of drilling fluids with the escalating cost of waste management and disposal, the economic practicality of utilizing drilling fluids, is fully dependent on the ability to recover and recycle. The cost of barite and bentonite continue to be commoditized, additives continue to become more and more expensive.  The need of cost-effective mud system will ease the cost of drilling mud in the long-run of operation.
