Most People is just engaged in drilling work tend to reduce every expenditure without knowing about drilling engineering, and believing this will reduce drilling costs. If each work is not interdependent, reducing the cost of each work will minimize the total drilling cost. For example, it is cheaper to weight drilling fluid with drilling cuttings than barite. But the next unpredictable question is how much it will cost to deal with it. This situation is caused by the inherent nature of drilling cuttings
A common mistake is usually caused by misunderstanding about reducing drilling costs, such as allowing drilling fluid to initially use cuttings to increase its density. Obviously, if no other weighting components are added to the drilling fluid, the cost of drilling fluid will be very low, and its theoretical basis is easy to find. However, there are too many cuttings in the drilling fluid and little removal, which will increase the additional cost. Another common mistake often occurs when using weighted drilling fluid. It is mistakenly believed that the weighted material will be removed when removing drilling cuttings. The increased cost of removing weighting materials (barite or iron ore powder) is far less than the cost of dealing with complex or accidents caused by drilling cuttings. In the high cost offshore drilling environment, this view is correct and has its particularity. Even in low-cost onshore drilling, most views tend to prefer to remove some weighting components rather than excessive cuttings in the drilling fluid. Proper selection and use of drilling fluid solid-phase control equipment, combined with correct selection of drilling fluid system, usually results in low drilling cost. The drilling rig will drill many different types of wells every year. It is wise to equip the equipment on the drilling fluid tank, and it can also save investment. On the contrary, another common mistake is to think that the removal of solid phase requires different drilling fluid tank arrangements for different drilling fluid systems. A cuttings removal system suitable for water-based, oil-based and synthetic based drilling fluid systems is established. Solid phase control can be carried out for polymer, high-density or low-density water-based drilling fluid.
