Why Need Mud Cooling System for O&G Drilling

In the process of oil and gas drilling, drilling leads to a lot of heat, and the friction between the drilling tool and the wall of the hole can generate a lot of heat. Moreover, with the increase of the drilling depth, the temperature at the bottom of the well gradually increases, and the heat is transferred to the mud out of the well, and the mud temperature gradually increases. It will corrode the drilling tool and conveying equipment and shorten the service life of the drilling tools, and it will also affect the mud composition and mud action, which will cause mud failure and fail the function of protecting the well wall and drilling tools.

Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the research on the ground cooling treatment technology of the oil-based mud, reduce the circulation temperature of the bottom of the oil-based mud well, increase the stability of the guide tool, and extend the service life of the guide tool. Shorten the well construction cycle.

AIPU mud cooling system mainly includes: pump, heat exchanger, cooling tower and water tank. The high temperature mud is pumped by the pump into the heat exchanger for heat exchange, and the mud outlet is discharged through the discharge pipeline. The low temperature water in the water tank is pumped into the heat exchanger for heat exchange. The high temperature water is discharged to the cooling tower by the strong cooling fan and then into the water tank. In this cycle, to achieve mud cooling.

Our mud cooling systems have been proved with good quality and reliable performance, Aipu is appreciated by users, too.
