Solids control is a technique used in a drilling rig to separate

the solids in the drilling 3uids that are crushed by the drill
bits and carried out of the well surface. Normally, a solid
control system contains <ve stages: the mud tank, oil<eld
shale shaker, vacuum degasser, desander, desilter, and
centrifuge. The shale shaker is used to separate big solids
with diameter above 75μm, the desander treats solids from

45–74μm, and the desilter segregates solids between 15–
44μm. Sometimes the desander and desilter are combined as
one highly eEcient mud cleaner. When air enters the drilling
3uids, a vacuum degasser is used to separate the air. If no air
is found in the mud, the degasser will work as a big agitator.
All these stages are mounted on the top of the mud tank.
After separating the solids, the clean mud can be pumped
into the borehole again.

The drilling mud system will separate unuseful drilling
cuttings and other solids among drilling 3uids. It will correct
drilling mud property and keep the drilling 3uids
performance good. Solid control eIect to well drilling also

includes holding proper gravity, density, weight, etc. Good
solids control to well drilling will produce good quality
drilling 3uids during whole well drilling. The good drilling
3uids will in3uence good drilling greatly. Use good drilling
3uids, the well drilling will be fast and eEcient, the drilling
cost will be less than those bad solids control well drilling.
During whole drilling mud system, we’ll get good and safe
drilling condition decrease and even prevent blowout
danger. So nowadays we take solids control as rather
essential part for oil and gas well drilling, geothermal well
drilling, CSM exploration, etc.
How does drilling solids control system achieve its
recirculation function?
1. Shale shaker will <lter particles larger than 74μm
approximately, the hydrocyclone separators or mud cleaner
will get rid of solids larger than 15μm or the range is
15~74μm. Another issue is the bottom shale shaker screen
mesh with 1st stage shale shaker.
2. The decanter centrifuge can process weighted and
unweighted drilling 3uids to make drilling 3uids cleaner for
next drilling mud circulation.
3. The mud agitator, actually, is auxiliary equipment. It will
keep necessary solids suspend among drilling mud, which
gives drilling 3uids even weight, density and viscosity. The

vacuum degasser is also similar with mud agitator. It is much
larger than agitator but also can get rid of small amount of
invading gases.
4.The mud mixing pump is another kind of equipment to mix
or compound drilling 3uids. It provides suEcient good
property drilling mud to ensure drilling 3uids will
recalculate successfully.
