Professional Solids Control Systems & Equipment

Essential Process in Drilling Operations

Solids control is a critical process in drilling operations that involves removing drilled solids from drilling fluid. Effective solids control systems help maintain the properties of drilling fluid, reduce costs, and improve drilling efficiency.

The primary goal of oilfield solids control is to remove undesirable solids from the drilling fluid while retaining the liquid phase and useful additives. This process typically involves multiple stages of mechanical separation using specialized solids control equipment.

Proper solids control can significantly reduce drilling costs by decreasing fluid losses, minimizing waste disposal volumes, and extending the life of drilling fluid. It also contributes to environmental protection by reducing the amount of drilling waste generated.
