[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] This invention provides an automatic mud transfer system, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the system includes a rectangular tank 1 mounted on a bottom skid. Inside the tank 1, from one end to the other, are sequentially arranged a metering chamber 1-1, a settling chamber 1-2, a degassing chamber 1-3, and a transfer chamber 1-4. Each of these chambers has a ladder leading down and a door. A perforated signboard is installed on the tank 1, corresponding to the settling chamber 1-2, indicating the capacity, descent capacity per unit, and lowest position, facilitating observation of the settling volume. Two vibrating screens 18 are arranged side-by-side above the settling chamber 1-2, both connected by a vibrating screen inlet pipe. 28 is connected to the mud distributor 6. A butterfly valve A29 is installed on the inlet pipe 28 of the vibrating screen. The mud distributor 6 is connected to the mud return pipe 9. After the mud enters the mud distributor 6, it enters the two vibrating screens 18 for processing. Agitators 19 are installed in both the degassing chamber 1-3 and the transmission chamber 1-4. The degassing chamber 1-3 is connected to the transmission chamber 1-4 through the balance pipeline 17. A degasser 20 is installed between the degassing chamber 1-3 and the transmission chamber 1-4. The degasser 20 is connected to the degassing chamber 1-3 and the transmission chamber 1-4 through the degasser discharge pipeline 15. The degasser 20 is connected to the degasser exhaust pipeline 16. -3 and the transfer chamber 1-4 are connected to a mud circulation mechanism. Several feed pumps are installed below the vibrating screen 18, and all feed pumps are connected to the metering chamber 1-1. The metering chamber 1-1 is connected to the feed pipeline 11, and a butterfly valve Q45 is installed on the feed pipeline 11. The metering chamber 1-1, the sedimentation chamber 1-2, the degassing chamber 1-3, and the transfer chamber 1-4 are respectively connected to the clean water pipeline 10 through the electric ball valve assembly 25. One end of the floating platform 2 is connected to the side wall of the tank body 1, and the other end of the floating platform 2 is connected to the side wall of the tank body 1 through the floating platform diagonal brace 27. The end of the floating platform 2 away from the tank body 1 is equipped with a railing 3. The floating platform 2 and the tank body are hinged. The railing 3 and the platform 2 are hinged and can be folded, so they do not need to be disassembled during transportation in the oilfield. A ladder 5 is provided at one end of the platform 2 for going up and down. The tank surface of the tank body 1, the platform, and the steps of the ladder 5 are all made of steel grating, which has an anti-slip effect. Each vibrating screen 18 has a sand discharge plate 8 at its sand discharge port. One end of the sand discharge plate 8 is hinged to the side wall of the tank body 1, and the other end of the sand discharge plate 8 is provided with a hook. The hook is connected to one end of the chain 26, and the other end of the chain 26 is connected to the bottom of the platform 2. Each vibrating screen 18 has a sand baffle 7 movably connected to its side to prevent rock cuttings and waste slurry from splashing.

[0027] The mud distributor 6 is connected to the settling chamber 1-2 via pipeline B50, and a butterfly valve T51 is connected to pipeline B50. The mud distributor 6 is connected to the metering chamber 1-1 via pipeline A48, and a butterfly valve S49 is connected to pipeline A48. When the particle size of impurities in the drilling fluid meets the requirements, it can be directly discharged into the settling chamber 1-2 and the metering chamber 1-1.

[0028] The bottom of metering chamber 1-1, sedimentation chamber 1-2, degassing chamber 1-3 and transmission chamber 1-4 are all connected to sand cleaning pipelines 4. Each sand cleaning pipeline 4 is equipped with a sand cleaning valve 14 to facilitate sand cleaning and prevent sedimentation during long-distance transmission of mud.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the mud circulation mechanism includes a transfer pump suction line A22 and a transfer pump suction line B56. One end of the transfer pump suction line A22 is connected to the degassing chamber 1-3, and the other end of the transfer pump suction line A22 is connected to one end of the transfer pump discharge line A23. The other end of the transfer pump discharge line A23 is connected to the degassing chamber 1-3. The transfer pump suction line A22 is equipped with butterfly valve B30, butterfly valve C31, transfer pump B55, and butterfly valve D32 in sequence according to the liquid flow direction. The transfer pump discharge line A23 is equipped with a fourth butterfly valve 54.

[0030] One end of the transfer pump suction line B56 is connected to the transfer chamber 1-4, and the other end of the transfer pump suction line B56 is connected to one end of the transfer pump discharge line B57. The other end of the transfer pump discharge line B57 is connected to the transfer chamber 1-4. The transfer pump suction line B56 is equipped with butterfly valve J38, butterfly valve I37, transfer pump A21 and butterfly valve H36 in sequence according to the liquid flow direction. The transfer pump discharge line B57 is equipped with the first butterfly valve 13.

[0031] The end of the transfer pump discharge pipeline A23 away from the degassing chamber 1-3 is connected to the end of the transfer pump discharge pipeline B57 away from the transfer chamber 1-4 via pipeline D60. A second butterfly valve 52 and a third butterfly valve 53 are installed on pipeline D60. A transfer pipeline 58 is connected to pipeline D60 between the second butterfly valve 52 and the third butterfly valve 53. A butterfly valve F34 is installed on transfer pipeline 58. The end of transfer pipeline 58 away from butterfly valve F34 is connected to flushing pipeline 24 via ball valve 47. A butterfly valve E33 and a butterfly valve R46 are installed on both sides of ball valve 47 on flushing pipeline 24. The end of flushing pipeline 24 near butterfly valve E33 is connected to transfer pump suction pipeline A22. A pipeline C59 is connected to transfer pump suction pipeline B56 between butterfly valve E33 and ball valve 47 on flushing pipeline 24. A butterfly valve G35 is installed on pipeline C59.

[0032] There are two supply pumps, namely supply pump A12 and supply pump B61. Supply pump A12 is equipped with a butterfly valve L40 at its inlet and a butterfly valve K39 at its outlet. Supply pump B61 is equipped with a butterfly valve N42 at its inlet and a butterfly valve M41 at its outlet. Supply pumps A12 and B61 are mounted on the bottom skid and arranged side by side. Supply pumps A12 and B61 are connected to the wellhead bell mouth and mud distributor 6 respectively through supply pipeline 11. A butterfly valve O43 is installed near the wellhead bell mouth of supply pipeline 11, and a butterfly valve P44 is installed near the mud distributor 6 on supply pipeline 11.

[0033] All butterfly valves and ball valves involved in this invention are equipped with electric actuators. These electric actuators can open, close, or regulate the valves, enabling remote control, centralized control, and automatic control of the valves, improving the degree of automation, reducing worker labor efficiency, and providing functions such as liquid level monitoring and automatic mud transfer.

[0034] The working process of the automatic mud transfer system of the present invention is as follows: the drilling fluid returning from the wellhead enters the mud distributor 6 through the mud return pipe 9. The mud distributor 6 evenly distributes the drilling fluid to two vibrating screens 18. The vibrating screens 18 are equipped with sand baffles 7 to prevent rock cuttings and waste mud from splashing. A sand discharge plate 8 is installed at the sand discharge port to discharge large solid particles. The mud after being processed by the vibrating screens 18 enters the settling chamber 1-2. The mud with lower density in the settling chamber 1-2 overflows into the degassing chamber 1-3, and then enters the transfer chamber 1-4 through the balance pipeline 17. The degassing chamber 1-3 and the... Two agitators 19 on the transfer chamber 1-4 prevent the mud from solidifying. The deaerator 20 between the deaerator chamber 1-3 and the transfer chamber 1-4 removes harmful gases from the mud through the deaerator exhaust pipe 16. The mud in the deaerator chamber 1-3 and the transfer chamber 1-4 can be self-circulated between the two transfer pumps 21 to further enhance the pretreatment of the mud and prevent sand settling. Finally, the two transfer pumps 21 transport the mud to the original solids control system. The transfer system of this invention adopts a dual-pump, dual-process transfer function to ensure the safety of drilling operations.

[0035] When hoisting drill strings, annularity in the wellbore causes a shortage of drilling mud. The driller starts feed pumps A12 and B61, which draw in drilling mud from metering chamber 1-1. The mud in metering chamber 1-1 can be replenished through feed line 11 by opening butterfly valve Q45. The mud is then drawn back in by feed pumps A12 and B61, enters the wellhead bell mouth through feed line 11, and finally enters the wellbore. Drilling mud causing annularity during drill string lowering overflows through the wellhead bell mouth, then flows through mud return pipe 9 into mud distributor 6, and then into metering chamber 1-1 or sand settling chamber 1-2. The driller can monitor the level in metering chamber 1-1 to check for any abnormalities and take appropriate action.

[0036] Transfer pump A21 draws in drilling fluid from transfer chambers 1-4 via transfer pump suction line B56, and discharges it into the original solids control system via transfer line 58. Transfer pump B55 draws in drilling fluid from sand settling chambers 1-3 via transfer pump suction line A22, and discharges it into the original solids control system via transfer line 58. Simultaneously, transfer pump A21 discharges drilling fluid into transfer chambers 1-4 via transfer pump discharge line B57, and transfer pump B55 discharges drilling fluid via transfer pump discharge line A23. Drilling fluid is transported to sedimentation chamber 1-3. To prevent sedimentation caused by long-distance transmission of drilling fluid, the first butterfly valve 13, the second butterfly valve 52, the third butterfly valve 53, the fourth butterfly valve 54, and the butterfly valve R46 are closed. The electric ball valve assembly 25 and the ball valve 47 are opened. Clean water is introduced into metering chamber 1-1, sedimentation chamber 1-2, degassing chamber 1-3, and transmission chamber 1-4 through clean water pipeline 10. Clean water is drawn in by transmission pumps A21 and B55 and backflushed through flushing pipeline 24 to backflush transmission pipeline 58.

[0037] The transportation status of the automatic mud transfer system of this invention is as follows: The automatic mud transfer system of this invention has a skid-mounted structure, which can be transported as a whole. In cluster well operations, when the wellhead position changes, the transport skid moves the tank 1 to the same vertical direction as the corresponding wellhead position and connects the pipeline between the tank 1 and the vibrating screen 18. The tank 1 is kept at the same horizontal position as the original solids control system and at the same vertical direction as the corresponding wellhead position. During this process, the original solids control system does not need to be moved. Only the automatic mud transfer system needs to be moved and the pipeline between the automatic mud transfer system and the original solids control system needs to be connected. The relocation and disassembly time between wells can be completed within 1 hour, realizing integrated transportation, reducing non-drilling operation time, shortening the drilling cycle, and improving overall drilling efficiency. At the same time, it also solves the problem of mud sedimentation during long-distance transportation, as well as the overflow and suction problems caused by different mud discharge volumes in different drilling operations. In addition, the platform 2 and the railing 3 are designed to be flip-up and foldable, which can realize integrated transportation during long-distance relocation.

[0038] Conventional solids control systems require 2-3 days to disassemble, relocate, and install in cluster well operations. However, the system of this invention eliminates the need to move the original solids control system in cluster well operations. Only the automatic mud transfer system needs to be moved, and the pipeline connecting the automatic mud transfer system and the original solids control system needs to be connected. The relocation and disassembly between wells can be completed within hours, achieving integrated transportation, reducing non-drilling operation time, shortening the drilling cycle, and improving overall drilling efficiency.
