Project Overview

JKZ designed and implemented a comprehensive vehicle mounted solids control system for a major exploration company operating in remote locations. The system was specifically engineered to provide maximum mobility while maintaining high-efficiency solids control performance.

The client required a solution that could be rapidly deployed across multiple drilling sites with minimal setup time. Our mobile solids control system was mounted on heavy-duty trucks and included integrated power generation, fluid storage, and advanced control systems.

This case study demonstrates how JKZ's innovative approach to vehicle mounted drilling equipment solved the client's operational challenges and delivered significant cost savings.

Key System Features

Mobility & Deployment

The truck mounted solids control system can be transported to any location accessible by road. Our rapid deployment system allows the unit to be operational within 4 hours of arrival, significantly reducing downtime between drilling sites.

Integrated Power System

Each unit features a self-contained 500kW power generation system, eliminating the need for external power sources. The system includes automatic load sharing and fuel-efficient operation for extended field operations.

Advanced Solids Control

The system incorporates multiple stages of solids removal equipment, including high-performance shale shakers, desanders, desilters, and centrifuges for comprehensive drilling fluid treatment.

Automated Operation

PLC-based control system allows for automated operation with remote monitoring capabilities. The system includes real-time performance tracking, automated adjustments, and comprehensive data logging for operational analysis.
