Mud Circulation System

1. Mud Pumps:

• High-pressure pumps that circulate drilling mud through the system.
• Types: Triplex or duplex pumps.

2. Mud Tanks (Pits):

• Stores drilling mud and allows for settling of solids.
• Types: Suction pit, mixing pit, and reserve pit.

3. Mud Mixing Unit:

• Adds chemicals and other additives to the drilling fluid to maintain the desired properties.

4. Shale Shakers:

• Removes larger rock cuttings from the mud returning from the borehole.

5. Desander and Desilter:

• Separates smaller particles that pass through the shale shakers.
• Desander removes particles between 40-100 microns, while desilters handle 15-40 microns.

6. Degasser:

• Removes gas bubbles trapped in the mud, which can affect drilling performance and safety.

7. Mud Cleaner:

• A combination of a desilter and fine screen to further clean the mud.

8. Mud Return Line:

• A pipe that returns the mud with cuttings from the well to the mud tanks.

9. Rotary Hose / Kelly Hose:

• A flexible high-pressure hose connecting the mud pump to the swivel or top drive.

10. Standpipe and Swivel:

• The standpipe is a rigid pipe that channels mud to the rotary hose.
• The swivel or top drive allows rotation of the drill string while maintaining a connection with the mud system.

 Mud Circulation Process

1. Injection: Mud is pumped from the mud tanks through the pumps and into the drill string via the standpipe and rotary hose.

2. Circulation Downhole: Mud flows down the drill pipe and exits through nozzles in the drill bit, carrying cuttings upward.

3. Return Flow: Mud returns to the surface through the annulus (space between the drill string and the borehole wall).

4. Separation and Cleaning: Mud with cuttings passes through shale shakers, desanders, and other equipment to remove solids.

5. Reuse: Cleaned mud is stored in the tanks, where it can be recirculated.
