Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a well completion flowback fluid processing system based on oil-based mud, which is applied to the on-site processing of the waste fluid returned from the well completion flowback operation of the oil and gas field on the drilling platform, and the processing of the waste fluid from the wellhead operation of the land oil and gas field. Background Art

[0002] In the process of oil and gas field development and oil and gas extraction, drilling and completion, production completion, well washing and well repair are essential steps in the process of oil field development and production increase. The completion and repair process will produce a certain amount of return waste liquid, and this oil-water mixed waste liquid needs to be harmlessly treated or recycled. Due to the small space of the drilling platform, the on-site drilling and completion operations are limited by the site, and it is impossible to store and centrally treat the return waste liquid from drilling and completion for a long time. The conventional land oil field mud pool storage and sedimentation followed by centralized treatment mode cannot be applied on the platform.

[0003] During the field operation, the return waste liquid from different wellheads has the characteristics of large differences in liquid volume, intermittent return, and complex components. Due to the addition of a large number of chemical additives in the drilling and completion process, the chemical composition of the return waste liquid is very complex, and oil-water separation is difficult. At present, the field process mostly uses oil-water separators for treatment. The treated sewage does not meet the discharge standards and needs to be shipped to land for centralized treatment, resulting in low overall operation efficiency and high treatment costs.

[0004] The current treatment technology for the waste fluid from well completion on drilling platforms is not very applicable to the water quality of the waste fluid from various wellheads, and the treated waste fluid cannot meet the requirements of environmentally friendly discharge. The waste fluid needs to be stored in an environmental tank and then transported to land for treatment, which has low treatment efficiency and high cost. Utility Model Content
