Chengdu West Petroleum Equipment System Deployed in Over 100 Projects

Chengdu West Petroleum Equipment Co., Ltd. has announced the successful deployment of its Oil-Based Mud (OBM) and Water-Based Mud (WBM) Drilling Waste Management Systems in more than 100 projects. This milestone signifies the company's engineering expertise in cuttings treatment, drilling fluid recovery, and solids minimization.

The systems have been utilized across diverse operational scenarios, including onshore shale gas well pads, conventional oil and gas wells, desert blocks, offshore platforms, and international oilfield service projects. The increasing demand for on-site Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) management, waste minimization, and drilling fluid recovery has driven the evolution of these systems.

These systems are designed as integral process units supporting green drilling initiatives, moving beyond simple end-of-pipe disposal. The OBM system, specifically, incorporates collection, transfer, separation, liquid recovery, and solids bagging to reduce waste discharge, conserve valuable drilling fluids, and standardize waste management practices.

A company representative stated that the deployment in over 100 projects reflects a transition from product manufacturing to large-scale system application. Clients are increasingly focused on the system's ability to keep pace with drilling rigs, efficiently recover oil-based fluids, alleviate disposal pressures, and adapt to complex working conditions. The company aims to provide reliable and user-friendly system solutions based on its engineering experience.

Key components include vertical cuttings dryers and decanter centrifuges. These modular, skid-mounted units facilitate efficient transportation and installation, making them suitable for various environments. Company field data indicates that the system can reduce oil-on-cuttings (OOC) in discharged solids to below 5%, even from feed material with over 40% OOC.
