+ Calculations are based upon listed inside diameters of the Standard Weight Threaded Line Pipe sizes shown
* Calculated from the Weymouth Formula for gas of 0.70 Specific Gravity (Air = 1.0), flowing at 60°F, and
measured at a standard of 60°F and 14.65 psi Absolute (4 oz Gage)
Local Atmospheric pressure is assumed to be 14.4 psi Absolute

Multiply the proper factor by the volume listed for a similar sized 1000 foot line
Example: A 3800 foot 2" line at 200 psi Upstream and 50 psi Downstream gage pressures would deliver (.51)(109.5) or 55845 cu ft per hour
Gas engines consume 10 to 15 cu ft of gas per horsepower hour

APPROXIMATE LINE PIPE CAPACITIES FOR WATER
Where inlet and outlet are at different elevations pressure should be added or subtracted, using the factor 0.433times the difference in
height in feet After determining pressures corrected for elevation convert to Horse Power
Thus: (0.00048 x Pressure x Bbls/hr) = Hydraulic Horse Power, based on 85 % Efficiency
For engine or motor Horse Power add 20 - 25 percent

74 to 440 microns - sand
2 to 74 microns - silt
0.5 to 2 microns - clay
0.5 micron and smaller - colloids
All solids in the colloidal range are not detrimental to a mud system: Some finer particles in the colloid range arenecessary for building a thin, slick wall cake in the borehole and reduce the possibility of differential pressuresticking of the drill string However, it is highly important that drilled solids are removed the first time they arecirculated to the surface or they would eventually degrade to a colloid size by continuous circulation through themud pumps, drill pipe, bit jets, bit teeth, etc
As an example, one particle having a diameter of 100 microns will become 125,000 particles with a diameter of 2microns and require 50 times as much liquid to coat the surface of this same mass of drilled solids without anyreduction in solids concentration This thickening process, occurring without an absolute increase in solids concen-tration, is referred to as viscosity or the resistance to flow
Adding water or oil to the system reduces the concentration of those solids, thus reducing the viscosity Removal
of drilled solids during the early circulation stages with solids removal equipment at the surface is much moresimple and less expensive Water-soluable chemicals, such as lignites, lignosulfonates, phosphates, quebracho, may
be added to the water phase to control the extremely fine clays in the mud Also, some flocculants are effective inagglomerating many fine solids into one large floc that can be removed by settling in the tanks or by removalequipment
2 Benefits Of Low Solids Mud
1 Increased drilling penetration rate
2 Increased bit life
3 Reduced mud costs
4 Reduced main mud pump maintenance cost
5 Reduced differential pressure sticking
6 Bore-hole is closer to gauge
7 Reduced water dilution
8 Increased cementing efficiency
9 Increased accuracy of geological information retrieved from wellbore
10 Reduced drill pipe torque
11 Increased control of mud properties
Obviously, these benefits are the result of planning prior to drilling a well and are accomplished through the use ofproperly designed, sized and operated solids removal equipment It is the obligation of the drilling crew to becomeknowledgeable in the proper use of the equipment; otherwise, its potential benefits may he reduced or nullified
3 Methods Of Controlling Solids
1 Mechanical treatment
2 Chemical treatment
Trang 38International Association of Drilling Contractors
3 Dilution of whole mud
4 Jetting or discarding whole mud
Each of the above methods is effective at the proper time and place; however the last two categories are quiteoften employed due to lack of planning when mechanical treatment would be more effective and economical;especially during the early phases of the drilling program
3.A MECHANICAL TREATMENT
This is the method of mechanically removing solids using shale shakers, desanders, desilters, mud cleaners andcentrifuges with each piece of equipment generally limited to the following range of particle removal:
1 Standard Shale Shaker - 440 microns and larger
2 Fine Screen Shaker - 74 microns and larger (weighted muds)
44 microns and larger - (unweighted muds)
3 Mud cleaner - 74 microns and larger (weighted muds)
44 microns and larger(unweighted muds)
4 Desanders - 100 microns and larger
5 Desilters - 15 microns and larger
6 Centrifuge - 4 to 8 microns and smaller (weighted muds);
4 to 8 microns and larger (unweighted muds)
Each piece of mechanical equipment is effective within a certain particle size range Utilizing all of the above itemsthroughout a drilling program will produce maximum benefits without overloading any one piece of equipment.None of the above items will take the place of another piece of equipment; however no piece of equipment
operating at optimum efficiency should cause downstream equipment becoming overloaded
Removing solids from spud of a drilling program is a first priority in solids control as it is much easier to removeone particle 100 microns in diameter with a fine screen shaker than to attempt to remove 125,000 particles of 2micron size with a centrifuge
In unweighted water-base muds, the fine screen shaker, desander and desirer are generally used until the point ofadding barites Centrifuges are added to increase drilled solids removal With weighted waterbase muds and all oilbase muds, fine screen shaker, mud cleaner and centrifuge are utilized
B CHEMICAL TREATMENT
Chemical treatment of a water-base mud for solids removal involves adding a "flocculant" to the mud system Thiscauses extremely fine solids to agglomerate together in order to be removed mechanically or allowed to settle bygravity in the mud tanks Normally, flocculant is used in conjunction with mechanical treatment For example,flocculants can be added at the shaker screen to increase apparent particle size Polymer flocculant may also beinjected into the centrifuge feed to improve centrifuge performance
Deflocculants such as lignosulfonates may be added to a water base mud to increase the solids tolerance of thefluid These "thinners" allow more solids to be incorporated into the mud before viscosity becomes too much of aproblem
