Abstract
The system of storage and circulation of drilling fluid on Platform Supply Vessel class vessels is considered. It was experimentally established that for the transport time of 6 … 36 hours the stratification of the density of the drilling fluid by the depth of the cargo tank is 3.04 … 32.04 %. As a method that ensures minimal stratification of the density of the drilling fluid during its transportation, it is proposed to use additional X-shaped circulation of the drill slurry in the volume of adjacent cargo tanks. Studies have confirmed that the density stratification for the time period of 6 … 36 hours decreases to the range of 2.30 … 9.01 %. The integrated use of additional X-shaped circulation and simultaneous air supply to the bottom of the cargo tank provides a value of density stratification of 0.73 … 2.93 %.
