Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drilling waste treatment, in particular to a water-based drilling waste reinjection treatment system. Background Art

[0002] The most widely used drilling fluid in current oil drilling operations is water-based drilling fluid. The waste generated by drilling operations using water-based drilling fluid is called water-based drilling waste, which mainly includes waste water-based mud, water-based drilling cuttings, water for cleaning well site equipment, completion operation well washing wastewater, well site domestic sewage, etc. The main treatment methods for water-based drilling waste are: solid-liquid separation, solidification landfill, biodegradation, chemical treatment, reinjection, etc. Among them, the drilling waste reinjection method is to inject the drilling waste into a safe formation after treatment. This method can thoroughly treat drilling waste such as drill cuttings, waste mud, and wastewater, and will not discharge sewage and chemicals to the surface, and will not cause secondary pollution. It is a harmless solution for achieving permanent, zero-emission treatment of drilling waste, and is particularly suitable for environmentally sensitive areas with strict environmental protection requirements.

[0003] As oil drilling and development expands, extending into environmentally sensitive areas, traditional oilfield waste disposal methods are no longer sufficient to meet the requirements for harmless treatment. This severely restricts the large-scale, clean, and sustainable development of oilfields in these environmentally sensitive areas. As a method that effectively reduces impacts on the surface environment, drilling waste reinjection technology is increasingly being adopted.

[0004] In the prior art, a Chinese utility model patent document with publication number CN211342833U and publication date of August 25, 2020 is proposed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. The technical solution disclosed in the patent document is as follows: a device for grinding drilling waste to produce reinjection mud, comprising a waste recovery tank, a grinding tank, a temporary storage box and a reinjection pump, the outlet of the waste recovery tank is connected to the grinding tank, the grinding tank is connected to a main water pipeline, the outlet of the temporary storage box is connected to the reinjection pump, and the grinding tank is connected to the main water pipeline. A first vibrating screen and a second crusher are provided between the temporary storage box. The solid and liquid wastes fed into the grinding jar are first fed into the first vibrating screen for screening. The wastes that cannot fall from the first vibrating screen are fed into the second crusher for crushing. The wastes that fall from the first vibrating screen are fed into the grinding jar for grinding. The solid waste ground from the grinding jar is screened together with the liquid waste through the second vibrating screen. The waste under the screen is fed into the temporary storage box, and the wastes that fail to pass the screen are fed into the second grinding jar for grinding.

[0005] In actual use, the above technical solution needs to be ground and screened multiple times, which may lead to problems such as low pretreatment efficiency, low processing volume, low injection efficiency, and poor safety and stability. Summary of the Invention
