Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper presents two models which provide an analytical basis for the economic analysis and selection of proper solids control equipment. The economic analysis model predicts the relative savings in mud dilution and wastes disposal costs for various percents of drilled solids removal and for the closed-loop implementation. The performance analysis model analyzes the performance of a given solids control system in terms of its solids removal capacity. A recent case history illustrates the importance of these models and confirms the savings predicted for a closed-loop implementation.
