Centrifuge Technology in Drilling Fluid Recycling
Drilling fluid additives and the water that contains them are an essential part and expense of successfully completing a horizontal directional drilling (HDD) installation, and the longer the bore and larger the product being installed, the more drilling fluids cost. Therefore, it makes economic sense to recycle drilling fluids by removing cuttings and recirculating the cleaned fluids. HDD ...

Common challenges relative to the use of Decanter Centrifuges for barite recovery in the oil & gas industry
When centrifuges are properly deployed, they can have dramatic effects on drilling performance. In fact, without them, many of the advances made in drilling would not have been considered achievable. Classically, we believe that centrifuges can achieve two common goals: Reduce the content of drilled fines, specifically colloidal solids, and Perform barite recovery in order to reduce drilling ...

The Application of Waste Solids Management Vertical Cuttings Dryers as an integral element of a successful Solids Control System
In Elgin’s last White Paper, “Common Challenges Relative to the Use of Decanter Centrifuges for Barite Recovery in the Oil & Gas Industry,” a detailed discussion was offered about the complexities involved in achieving effective solids control when deploying a dual-centrifuge “barite recovery” system. As noted in that report, when centrifuges are properly used, ...
