Truck or trailer mounted drilling rigs are mobile drilling equipments designed for shallow to medium-deep wells. With power systems, winches, derricks, traveling systems, and transmission mechanisms integrated onto self-propelled or towed chassis, these rigs significantly enhance operational efficiency. They cover drilling depths from 1,000 to 4,000 meters, with maximum static loads ranging from 900 to 2,250 kN, featuring high load capacity, reliable performance, excellent cross-country mobility, and convenient transportation. I. Core Classifications and Structural Features Based on mounting methods, they are divided into truck-mounted and trailer-mounted rigs, differing in structure, power, and application scenarios: 1.Truck-Mounted Drilling Rig The rig is directly integrated onto a truck chassis, enabling autonomous driving. Key Structures: Chassis: Special off-road chassis with long wheelbase and high load capacity (typically 20-50 tons), suitable for muddy, hilly terrains. Power System:The chassis diesel engine drives both vehicle movement and drilling operations (e.g., rotary table rotation, mud pump) via a transfer case or hydraulic system.High-end models may have independent generator sets for complex power demands. Mast (Derrick): Hydraulic vertical type, foldable or telescopic (10-30 meters tall), for hoisting drill strings. Rotary Table/Top Drive: Drives drill pipe rotation; rotary tables suit medium-shallow holes, while top drives (e.g., in oil rigs) excel in deep and directional drilling. Mud Circulation System: Integrates mud pumps and tanks for cooling bits and carrying cuttings. Features: High Mobility: Road speed up to 50-80 km/h, allowing direct relocation without disassembly (ideal for emergency water well drilling). Compact Integration: One-piece design reduces footprint, suitable for narrow sites (e.g., urban pipeline inspection). Limitation: Chassis load limits the drilling depth (up to 3,000 meters in oil fields, typically in the range of hundreds of meters in engineering projects). 2.Trailer-Mounted Drilling Rig The rig is mounted on a dedicated trailer, towed by a truck or tractor, available in semi-trailer or full-trailer types. Key Structures: Semi-trailer: Articulated with the tractor for flexible steering, suitable for long-distance transport. Full-trailer: Independent, towed by a hitch, stable for heavy equipment. Power System:Most have independent diesel engines or hydraulic power stations, operating autonomously without external power. Drilling Module:Larger masts with hydraulic telescoping or multi-angle tilting for directional drilling (e.g., horizontal wells).Optional high-end accessories like casing driving units and Measurement While Drilling (MWD) systems. Features: Heavy Load Capacity: Supports deep drilling (up to 5,000+ m for oil rigs, 2,000 m for geological rigs). Flexibility: Trailer detaches from the tractor for independent operation at fixed sites. Transport Requirement: Needs specialized tractors; masts may require disassembly for relocation (some high-end models allow integral transport). II. Core Technologies and Functional Configurations Despite structural differences, both types share key technical requirements: 1.Power and Transmission Systems Power Types: Diesel Engines: 200-2,000 hp, suitable for off-grid environments. Electric Drives: Used in urban rigs for low noise and zero emissions. Transmission Methods: Mechanical Transmission: Reliable, low maintenance via chains/gears. Hydraulic Transmission: Smooth operation, stepless speed regulation for precise control (e.g., directional drilling). 2. Drilling Process Adaptability Drilling Methods: Rotary Drilling: For conventional holes in soil/rock (e.g., PDC bit + drill pipe). Impact-Rotary Drilling: For hard formations (e.g., downhole hammer + roller cone bit). Auger Drilling: No circulation medium, ideal for shallow dry holes (e.g., soil sampling). Casing Technologies: Casing While Drilling: Simultaneously drills and cements to prevent cave-ins (e.g., in quicksand layers). Casing Rotation/Impact Units: Solves deep casing running challenges. 3. Intelligent and Safety Configurations Automation Systems: Hydraulic automatic tongs reduce manual labor. Drill string weight auto-compensation prevents sticking or fracture. Safety Devices: Crown-o-matic prevents drill string collision with the mast top. Emergency braking systems for sudden failures (e.g., engine runaway). Environmental Design: Mud recovery tanks minimize waste discharge. Noise enclosures limit urban operation noise below 85 dB. III. Key Selection Factors Drilling Depth and Formation: Shallow (<500 m) or soft formations: Prioritize truck-mounted rigs (e.g., hydraulic core drills). Deep (>1,000 m) or hard formations (e.g., granite): Require trailer-mounted rigs with high-power power heads. Mobility Needs: Frequent relocations (e.g., geological surveys): Truck-mounted rigs are more efficient. Long-term fixed-site operations (e.g., oilfield development): Trailer-mounted rigs offer better cost-effectiveness. Cost and Maintenance: Truck-mounted: Lower initial cost (typically ¥1-5 million), simple maintenance. Trailer-mounted: Expensive (up to tens of millions for oil rigs), requires professional maintenance teams. Ⅳ.Conclusion Truck-mounted and trailer-mounted rigs address the relocation challenges of traditional fixed rigs through "mobile platform and drilling module" integration, becoming the mainstay of modern drilling. Selection should consider depth, terrain, environmental requirements, and budget. In the future, intelligence and green technology will be key development directions.

Ⅰ. Equipment Definition The Drilling Mud Decanter Centrifuge is a critical solid-liquid separation device in oil and gas drilling operations. It is primarily used for high-efficiency centrifugal separation of drilling mud (also known as drilling fluid), achieving graded treatment of solid particles in the mud and recycling of the liquid phase. This optimizes mud performance, reduces waste discharge, and saves costs. Ⅱ. Core Functions Solid Phase Grading Treatment Separates solid particles of different sizes (such as cuttings and rock debris), typically capable of separating particles ≥2–5 microns (specific to equipment models and operating conditions).    Differentiates between "coarse solids" (to be discarded) and "fine solids" (retained in the mud to maintain performance). Liquid Phase Recycling Recovers the liquid phase in the mud (base fluid, chemical agents, etc.), reducing the amount of fresh mud preparation and material costs. For oil-based mud or environmentally sensitive scenarios, liquid recycling minimizes environmental pollution. Mud Performance Optimization Adjusts mud density, viscosity, and rheological properties by controlling solid content and particle size distribution to meet process requirements for different drilling stages (e.g., drilling, cementing). Ⅲ. Working Principle Centrifugal Separation Mechanism The equipment consists of a horizontal drum (rotating at high speed, 1,500–4,000 RPM) and an internal scroll conveyor. Drilling mud enters the drum center and, under centrifugal force , solid particles settle on the drum wall and are pushed to the conical end by the scroll conveyor; the liquid forms an inner liquid ring and discharges from the overflow port at the opposite end of the drum. Key Parameter Control Drum Speed: Higher speeds generate greater centrifugal force and higher separation precision (suitable for fine particle separation). Weir Height: Adjusts liquid residence time, affecting separation efficiency and liquid clarity. Differential Speed (Speed Difference Between Drum and Scroll): Controls solid conveying speed to avoid over-compression or blockage. Ⅳ.

Drive Mode Variable Frequency Drive (VFD): Enables flexible speed adjustment to adapt to different mud conditions. Ⅶ. Maintenance Considerations Daily Inspections Monitor bearing temperature and vibration values to prevent downtime due to mechanical failures. Clean solid deposits on the drum inner wall and scroll conveyor to reduce wear. Regular Maintenance Replace gearbox lubricating oil every 500–1,000 hours and check the clearance between the scroll and drum (adjust or replace if worn). Perform non-destructive testing (e.g., ultrasonic flaw detection) on wear-resistant components to assess wear levels. Ⅷ. Types Drilling mud decanter centrifuges can be classified into various types based on different criteria. Below are common classifications and their characteristics: By Separation Precision (Minimum Separable Particle Size) Medium-Speed Centrifuge（5–40 microns）：Primary separation for removing larger cuttings, commonly used in initial mud purification.

The solids control system vacuum degasser is a critical component of the petroleum drilling fluid solids control system, primarily designed to remove harmful gases such as natural gas and hydrogen sulfide (including free and dissolved gases invaded during formation drilling) from drilling fluid (mud). It prevents well blowout risks caused by reduced mud density due to high gas content while restoring mud properties to ensure the safety and efficiency of drilling operations. Ⅰ. Working Principle 1.Creation of Vacuum Environment As a vacuum-type degasser, it uses a vacuum pump to generate a negative pressure environment (below atmospheric pressure) inside the degasser’s vacuum tank. 2.Atomization and Degassing of Drilling Fluid Gas-invaded drilling fluid enters the vacuum tank through the inlet and is atomized into fine droplets via nozzles or distributors. Under negative pressure, gases (e.g., methane, hydrogen sulfide) in the droplets rapidly escape, achieving gas-liquid separation. 3.Gas-Liquid Separation and Discharge Separated gases are extracted by the vacuum pump and safely discharged through exhaust pipelines (connectable to combustion units for treatment if necessary). Degassed drilling fluid returns to the solids control system from the bottom outlet of the tank for continuous recycling. Ⅱ. Main Structure and Components Vacuum Tank：The main container with a negative pressure environment, equipped with internal atomization devices (e.g., nozzles, cyclones). Vacuum Pump：Provides vacuum power, commonly using water-ring or rotary vane vacuum pumps. Gas-Liquid Separator：Further separates trace liquids carried by discharged gases to prevent fluid from entering the vacuum pump. Control System：Monitors parameters such as vacuum pressure and liquid level, automatically adjusting operating conditions. Inlet and Outlet Pipelines：Connect to the drilling fluid circulation system for input of gas-invaded fluid and output of degassed fluid. Ⅲ. Functions and Application Scenarios Core Functions Efficiently removes ≥90% of free gases from drilling fluid, reducing gas invasion risks. Maintains stable mud density and rheological properties, minimizing mud waste. Collaborates with other solids control equipment (e.g., shale shakers, desanders, desilters) to complete the mud purification process. Application Scenarios Oil and gas drilling operations, particularly in gas-bearing formations (e.g., shale gas, high-sulfur formations). Integration into solids control systems on offshore drilling platforms and onshore drilling sites. Ⅳ. Technical Features and Selection Criteria Technical Features High processing efficiency: Adaptable to varying drilling fluid flow rates. Adjustable vacuum pressure: Typically maintained at -0.04 to -0.08 MPa, flexible for different gas contents. Explosion-proof design: Motors and control systems meet explosion-proof standards for flammable environments. Selection Criteria Processing capacity: Matched to drilling fluid circulation flow rate (e.g., a 200 m³/h rig requires a correspondingly capable degasser). Vacuum pressure requirements: Higher vacuum for gas-rich formations to ensure degassing efficiency. Installation type: Skid-mounted (mobile) or integrated (combined with other solids control equipment). Energy consumption and maintenance: Prioritize low-energy, easy-maintenance models (e.g., non-dismantling cleaning design). Ⅴ. Equipment Positioning and Core Value The vacuum degasser is one of the core components of petroleum and natural gas drilling solids control systems, specializing in addressing mud gas invasion. Its core value includes: Safety Assurance: Efficiently removes flammable and explosive gases (natural gas, hydrogen sulfide) from mud, avoiding major accidents like blowouts and explosions caused by gas accumulation. Cost Optimization: Restores mud density and rheology, reducing mud waste and cutting re-mixing costs (saving ~10%-20% of mud costs per well). Efficiency Enhancement: Maintains stable mud properties, ensuring drilling speed and reducing non-productive time (e.g., downtime due to gas invasion). Ⅵ. Maintenance Key Points and Fault Troubleshooting Daily Maintenance Vacuum pump: Replace lubricating oil every 500 hours. Atomization device: Inspect nozzle blockage weekly and clean with high-pressure water (use a nozzle cleaning tool with diameter ≤0.3mm). Sealing system: Test airtightness of tank flanges and pipeline interfaces monthly (leakage rate <0.5%/h). Common Faults and Solutions Insufficient vacuum pressure: Caused by pump wear or system leaks. Replace impellers/seals and check for leaks with soapy water. Reduced degassing efficiency: Due to clogged nozzles or high liquid level. Clean nozzles and adjust the inlet valve to maintain liquid level at 2/3 of tank height. Abnormal vibration: Caused by misaligned motor couplings or loose foundation bolts. Re-align couplings and tighten bolts (to ≥90% of specified torque). Liquid carryover in discharged gas: Due to failed gas-liquid separators or low vacuum pressure. Replace separation components and increase vacuum to ≥-0.06MPa. Ⅶ. Collaboration with Other Solids Control Equipment The vacuum degasser typically works with the following equipment to form a complete mud purification process: Shale shaker: First-stage treatment to separate >74μm drill cuttings, reducing solid load on the degasser. Desander/desilter: Processes 20-74μm particles to minimize wear on subsequent centrifuges. Mud Centrifugal Pump: Separates <20μm ultra-fine particles and recovers valuable solids like barite. Mud tanks: Store degassed mud and provide buffer volume (typically 4-6 tanks). Through full-process collaboration, mud sand content can be controlled below 0.5% and gas content below 1%, meeting the requirements of high-complexity drilling operations.    

In the energy extraction sectors such as oil and gas, the solids control system plays a crucial and indispensable role. As an essential piece of equipment within the solids control system, the mud cleaner is of great significance for the purification treatment of drilling mud. I. Main Functions of the Mud Cleaner in the Solids Control System The solids control system mud cleaner is primarily responsible for the fine-grained treatment of drilling mud, further separating and removing solid particles of different sizes. The specific functions are as follows: 1.Desanding When the drilling mud enters the mud cleaner during the treatment process, it first passes through the desanding hydrocyclones. These hydrocyclones utilize centrifugal force to separate relatively large-sized sand particles (typically larger than 74 microns) from the mud. This separation process helps prevent the sand particles from causing abrasion to drilling equipment, such as the mud pump pistons and mud pump liners and the nozzles of drill bits, thereby extending the service life of the equipment. Additionally, it avoids the sedimentation of sand particles in the mud circulation system, which could otherwise affect the normal circulation of the mud. The separated sand particles are discharged from the underflow port of the hydrocyclone, while the mud containing finer particles flows out from the overflow port and enters the desilting hydrocyclones. 2.Desilting The desilting hydrocyclones further process the mud that overflows from the desander hydrocyclones, separating the mud particles with a size ranging from 15 to 74 microns. Removing these mud particles can improve the rheological properties of the mud, reducing its viscosity and shear force, so that it can better meet the technological requirements during the drilling process. For example, it enhances the mud's ability to carry cuttings and its fluidity in the wellbore. Similarly, the underflow of the desilting hydrocyclones discharges the mud particles, and the relatively clean mud that overflows flows to the shale shaker at the bottom. 3.Fine Screening The shale shaker performs the final fine-grained treatment on the mud that overflows from the desander and desilter hydrocyclones. Through the vibrating screening method, the remaining fine particles are separated from the mud, resulting in relatively pure mud. Providing high-quality mud for drilling operations helps improve drilling efficiency and reduces the occurrence of complex downhole situations. Ⅱ. Detailed Introduction to the Mud Cleaner in the Solids Control System The mud cleaner is a key device to ensure the performance of drilling mud and the smooth progress of drilling operations. The following is a detailed introduction to various aspects of it: 1.Structure Vibrating Screen Component Screen Box: As the main supporting structure of the vibrating screen, it is usually welded by high - quality steel, with sufficient strength and stiffness to withstand the impact and vibration of the mud. Its design takes into account the convenience of installation, maintenance, and replacement of internal components. Screen Mesh For Shale Shaker And Mud Cleaner: It is the key component for solid-liquid separation and is generally woven from materials such as stainless steel wire or synthetic fiber. According to the size distribution of solid particles in the drilling mud, screen meshes with different mesh numbers can be selected. The common mesh number ranges from 40 mesh to 325 mesh. Fine - mesh screens are used to separate smaller particles, while coarse - mesh screens are used for the preliminary separation of larger particles. Vibrating Motor: It provides power for the vibrating screen and generates high - frequency vibration through the rotation of the eccentric block. The parameters of the vibrating motor can be adjusted according to the size, weight of the screen box, and the mud treatment capacity to ensure that the screen mesh can generate appropriate vibration intensity and frequency, enabling efficient solid - liquid separation of the mud on the screen mesh. Hydrocyclone Component Feed Pipe: Located at the upper part of the hydrocyclone, the mud enters the hydrocyclone tangentially through the feed pipe at a certain speed and angle, forming a high-speed rotating flow field inside the hydrocyclone. The design of the feed pipe should ensure that the mud can enter the hydrocyclone uniformly and stably, avoiding the occurrence of flow deviation or eddy current. Cylindrical Section: It is one of the main working areas of the hydrocyclone. The mud starts to form a rotating motion in the cylindrical section, and the centrifugal force causes the solid particles to move towards the wall of the hydrocyclone. The diameter and height of the cylindrical section determine the processing capacity and separation effect of the hydrocyclone. Larger diameter and height usually mean higher processing capacity and finer separation ability. Conical Section: Connected below the cylindrical section, its taper is an important parameter affecting the separation performance of the hydrocyclone. As the diameter of the conical section gradually decreases, the rotation speed of the mud gradually increases, and the centrifugal force also increases accordingly, prompting the solid particles to gather towards the wall more effectively and move downward along the wall, and finally be discharged from the underflow port. Overflow Pipe: Located at the center of the top of the hydrocyclone, the cleaned mud after separation forms an inner vortex and is discharged from the overflow pipe. The diameter and length of the overflow pipe will affect the overflow speed and separation effect, and need to be optimized according to the specific properties of the drilling mud and processing requirements. Underflow Pipe: Located at the bottom of the hydrocyclone, it is used to discharge the separated solid particles. The diameter and shape of the underflow pipe will affect the discharge speed of the underflow and the discharge efficiency of the solid particles. It is usually designed in an adjustable form to adjust the flow rate and solid content of the underflow according to the actual situation. Sand Pump Component Pump Casing: Usually made of wear-resistant materials, such as high - chromium cast iron or ceramic composite materials, to resist the wear of solid particles in the mud. The internal structure of the pump casing is designed to guide the mud to flow smoothly into and out of the impeller, reducing hydraulic losses and the generation of eddy currents. Sand Pump Impeller: It is the core component of the sand pump. By rotating at high speed, it generates centrifugal force to transport the mud from the suction end to the discharge end. The shape, size, and number of blades of the impeller are optimized according to the flow rate, head, and mud properties of the sand pump to improve the efficiency and wear-resistance of the pump. Shaft Seal Device: Used to prevent mud leakage, usually in the form of mechanical seal or packing seal. The performance of the shaft seal device directly affects the operational reliability and service life of the sand pump, and regular inspection and maintenance are required to ensure good sealing effect. Drive Motor: Provides power for the sand pump and is connected to the pump shaft through a coupling. The power of the drive motor is selected according to the working requirements of the sand pump to ensure that the sand pump can operate stably under different working conditions and provide sufficient pressure and flow to transport the mud. 2.Functions Efficient Solid - Liquid Separation       First, through the high-frequency vibration of the vibrating screen, the preliminary separation of the larger-sized solid substances from the liquid phase in the mud is realized, and the larger-sized cuttings, sand particles, etc. are intercepted on the screen and discharged. Then, using the centrifugal force of the hydrocyclone, the mud after the preliminary separation by the vibrating screen is further finely separated. The solid particles with smaller particle sizes, such as clay particles and fine sand, are separated from the mud, so that the cleaned mud is discharged from the overflow port, and the solid particles are discharged from the underflow port. Optimization of Mud Properties       Accurately control the solid content in the mud to keep it within a reasonable range to meet the requirements for mud properties in different drilling stages and geological conditions. Improve the rheological properties of the mud, such as reducing the viscosity and shear force of the mud, and improving its fluidity and stability, so that the mud can better carry cuttings, suspend weighting agents, and achieve efficient circulation and transportation during the drilling process. 3.Roles Protection of Drilling Equipment      Removing the solid particles in the mud reduces the abrasiveness of the mud, reduces the wear of drilling pumps, drilling tools, valves and other equipment, extends the service life of these equipment, and reduces the frequency and cost of equipment repair and replacement. Prevent solid particles from accumulating and blocking inside the equipment, ensure the normal operation of the equipment, and reduce the interruption and delay of drilling operations caused by equipment failures. Improvement of Drilling Quality      Clean mud can form a thin and tough mud cake on the wellbore wall, which helps to stabilize the wellbore wall, prevent downhole complex situations such as wellbore collapse and diameter shrinkage, ensure the regularity and stability of the wellbore, and provide good conditions for subsequent drilling, logging, cementing and other operations. The optimized mud properties can improve the rock-breaking efficiency of the drill bit, reduce the balling and wear of the drill bit, make the drilling process smoother, and improve the drilling speed and quality. 4.Importance in Drilling Operations Improvement of Operational Efficiency      The mud cleaner can timely and effectively remove the solid particles in the mud, keep the mud properties stable, enable the mud to better play its roles in carrying cuttings, cooling the drill bit, lubricating the drilling tools, etc. during the drilling process, thereby reducing the number of tripping operations and drilling time, and improving the efficiency of drilling operations. Due to the reduced wear of equipment and the lower failure rate, the continuity of drilling operations is guaranteed, further improving the overall operational efficiency. Reduction of Operational Costs      By extending the service life of drilling equipment, reducing equipment maintenance costs, and lowering the consumption of mud materials (because the mud is recycled, reducing the amount of fresh mud preparation), the mud cleaner can significantly reduce the cost of drilling operations. It reduces the discharge of waste mud, lowers the environmental protection treatment cost, and at the same time meets the environmental protection requirements, avoiding fines and other costs that may be caused by environmental pollution. Ensurance of Operational Safety      Stable mud properties and good wellbore stability reduce the probability of safety accidents such as lost circulation, blowout, and well collapse, ensuring the safety of drilling personnel and the safe operation of equipment. The normal operation of the mud cleaner is one of the key links in the stable operation of the entire solids control system, which is crucial for maintaining the safe and efficient progress of drilling operations. Ⅲ. Summary     The advantages of the mud cleaner are very obvious. Firstly, its compact design makes the equipment occupy a small area and can operate efficiently in a limited space, which is especially suitable for use in places with limited space such as offshore drilling platforms. Secondly, the multi - stage separation working mode can effectively remove solid particles of different sizes in the mud, improve the quality of the mud, thereby extending the service life of the mud and reducing the cost of mud use. In addition, the mud cleaner has a relatively high degree of automation and is easy to operate, capable of achieving continuous and stable operation, reducing the workload and errors of manual operation.      In practical applications, mud cleaners are widely used in onshore drilling, offshore drilling, trenchless engineering and other fields. Whether under complex geological conditions or in operations with high requirements for mud quality, the mud cleaner can play its important role in ensuring the smooth progress of drilling and other projects.      With the continuous development of technology, mud cleaners are also constantly being improved and innovated. New - type mud cleaners have made significant progress in improving separation efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and optimizing the operation interface to meet the ever - changing engineering requirements and environmental protection requirements.

The spray system of the F type drilling mud pump is mainly composed of components such as the spray pump, cooling water tank, and spray pipes. The following is an introduction to the advantages, working process, and pressure control of the spray system. Ⅰ. The F-type drilling mud pump spray system has the following main advantages:Efficient Cooling The spray system can accurately spray the cooling liquid onto the key heat-generating parts of the mud pump, such as the mud pump fluid end module and mud pump piston. Through the heat absorption and evaporation of the liquid, it can quickly take away a large amount of heat, effectively reducing the working temperature of these components and ensuring that the mud pump can still maintain stable performance under high-load operation conditions. Extended Component Lifespan The stable cooling effect helps to reduce the damage to the Mud pump fluid end module and piston caused by thermal fatigue and wear, thus prolonging their service life. At the same time, proper cooling can prevent the rubber seals from aging and failing due to overheating, maintain good sealing performance, reduce mud leakage, and thus reduce maintenance costs and replacement frequencies. Improved Mud Pump Efficiency When the key components are within the appropriate temperature range, the overall operation efficiency of the mud pump is improved. The cooling system can prevent the expansion and deformation of components caused by overheating, ensure the matching accuracy between components, make the power transmission of the mud pump smoother, reduce energy loss, and thus improve its volumetric efficiency and hydraulic efficiency. Improved Working Environment During the cooling process of the spray system, the humidity of the surrounding air will increase, which can reduce the dust flying around the mud pump, improve the air quality of the working environment, and be beneficial to the health of the operators. In addition, the lower equipment temperature also reduces the overall temperature of the working area, making the working conditions of the operators more comfortable. High Reliability The spray system of the F- type drilling mud pump usually adopts high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes, with good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and can adapt to harsh drilling site environments. At the same time, the system has a simple and reasonable design, with high stability and anti-interference ability, reducing the downtime caused by system failures and improving the continuity and reliability of drilling operations. Easy Maintenance The structure of the spray system is relatively simple, and the layout of each component is reasonable, making it convenient for operators to conduct daily inspections, maintenance, and upkeep. For example, components such as nozzles and pipes are easy to disassemble and replace, and it is also relatively convenient to clean the cooling water tank and add water, which helps to reduce maintenance costs and improve maintenance efficiency. Ⅱ. The working process of the spray system in the F-series drilling mud pump is as follows: 1.Liquid Storage and Supply: The cooling water tank stores a certain amount of cooling liquid, usually clean water or a special coolant. The inlet of the spray pump is connected to the cooling water tank. When the spray system is started, the spray pump begins to work. Using the suction force generated by the rotation of the impeller, it sucks the cooling liquid in the cooling water tank into the pump body. 2.Pressurization and Conveyance: The spray pump pressurizes the sucked cooling liquid to give it sufficient pressure energy. The pressurized cooling liquid is discharged from the outlet of the pump and enters the conveying pipeline. 3.Distribution and Spraying: The high-pressure cooling liquid discharged from the outlet of the spray pump flows along the conveying pipeline. There are multiple branch pipelines set on the conveying pipeline, which respectively lead to various parts of the mud pump that need cooling and flushing, such as the Mud pump fluid end module and piston. A nozzle is installed at the end of each branch pipeline, and the nozzle sprays the cooling liquid onto the surfaces of the Mud pump fluid end module and piston at a certain angle and in a certain manner. 4.Cooling and Flushing: The cooling liquid sprayed onto the surfaces of the Mud pump fluid end module and piston absorbs the heat generated by these components during the working process through heat exchange, reducing their temperature. At the same time, the cooling liquid can also wash away the mud particles and impurities adhering to the surfaces of the Mud pump fluid end module and piston, preventing mud accumulation and caking, and reducing wear and corrosion. 5.Return and Circulation: After completing the cooling and flushing tasks, the cooling liquid, carrying heat and the flushed impurities, flows back to the cooling water tank from various parts of the mud pump. During the return process, part of the cooling liquid may pass through a filtration device to remove larger impurity particles in it and ensure the cleanliness of the cooling liquid. The cooling liquid that returns to the cooling water tank is cooled down through natural cooling or other cooling methods and can be sucked in by the spray pump again for the next round of the cooling cycle. Ⅲ. The working pressure of the spray system has many impacts on the performance of the F-series drilling mud pump, which are specifically as follows: Cooling Effect Low Pressure: The cooling liquid cannot fully cover the surfaces of key components such as the Mud pump fluid end module and piston, resulting in uneven cooling, excessive local temperature, accelerated component wear, and reduced service life of the mud pump. In addition, a lower pressure will slow down the flow rate of the cooling liquid, reduce the heat exchange efficiency, and fail to take away the heat generated by the components in a timely manner, affecting the normal operation of the mud pump. High Pressure: Although it can enhance the cooling effect, it may cause serious splashing of the cooling liquid, not only causing waste but also possibly affecting the working environment. At the same time, too high a pressure will increase the load on the components of the spray system, such as nozzles and pipes, and is likely to cause damage to these components, affecting the reliability of the system. Component Wear Low Pressure: Insufficient cooling will increase the friction between the Mud pump fluid end module and the piston because high temperature will change the performance of the component materials, reduce the surface hardness, and make it more prone to wear. In addition, the viscosity of the mud increases at high temperatures, which will also increase the frictional resistance of the components, further aggravating the wear and affecting the performance and service life of the mud pump. High Pressure: It may cause excessive scouring of the surfaces of the Mud pump fluid end module and piston, especially in the area near the nozzle. Over time, it will cause the gradual loss of materials in these parts, reducing the dimensional accuracy of the components and affecting the sealing performance and volumetric efficiency of the mud pump. Sealing Performance Low Pressure: Due to insufficient cooling, the seals are prone to aging and deformation due to overheating, losing their good sealing performance and resulting in mud leakage. Mud leakage will not only cause environmental pollution but also affect the normal operation of the mud pump and reduce its working efficiency. High Pressure: It may exert additional pressure on the seals, increasing the stress borne by the seals. Once it exceeds the bearing range of the seals, it will accelerate the damage of the seals, also resulting in mud leakage and affecting the performance and reliability of the mud pump. System Stability Low Pressure: The spray system cannot function properly, and the key components of the mud pump are in a high-temperature state, which may trigger a series of failures, such as component deformation and jamming, affecting the stability of the mud pump, and even leading to shutdown accidents, affecting the smooth progress of drilling operations. High Pressure: It will make the components of the spray system itself bear a relatively large pressure. For example, the pipeline may burst due to excessive pressure, and the motor of the spray pump may also malfunction due to excessive load. These will reduce the stability of the entire system, increase maintenance costs, and lead to longer downtime. Ⅳ. The adjustment and control of the working pressure of the spray system of the F-series drilling mud pump are usually achieved through the following methods: Pressure Regulating Valve Installation Location: It is generally installed on the outlet pipeline of the spray pump. By adjusting the opening degree of the valve, the flow rate of the fluid can be controlled, and thus the system pressure can be adjusted. Working Principle: When it is necessary to increase the pressure, the valve opening is adjusted to be smaller, reducing the flow area of the fluid and increasing the fluid pressure in the pipeline. Conversely, by increasing the valve opening, the pressure can be reduced. The pressure regulating valve can be manually adjusted according to actual needs, or an automatic regulating valve can be used, which automatically adjusts the valve opening according to the preset pressure value. Mud Pump Relief Valve Function: It is mainly used to limit the maximum pressure of the system and play a role in safety protection. When the system pressure exceeds the set pressure of the relief valve, the relief valve opens, and part of the fluid flows back to the cooling water tank, thus preventing the system pressure from being too high and damaging the equipment. Setting Method: According to the design pressure of the spray system and the working requirements of the mud pump, the opening pressure of the relief valve should be set reasonably. Usually, the set pressure of the relief valve should be slightly higher than the normal working pressure to ensure that the system will not overflow during normal operation, but it can play a protective role in a timely manner when the pressure rises abnormally. Variable Frequency Speed Regulation Device Application Principle: By changing the power supply frequency of the motor of the spray pump, the rotation speed of the motor can be adjusted, and thus the flow rate and pressure of the spray pump can be changed. When it is necessary to reduce the pressure, the rotation speed of the motor is decreased, reducing the output flow rate of the pump and the pressure will decrease accordingly. When it is necessary to increase the pressure, the rotation speed of the motor is increased. Advantages: This method can achieve continuous and precise adjustment of the pressure, and can adjust the pressure in real time according to the actual working conditions of the mud pump, with high flexibility and energy-saving effects. Pressure Sensor and Control System Feedback Control: A pressure sensor is installed on the pipeline of the spray system to monitor the pressure value of the system in real time and transmit the pressure signal to the control system. The control system compares the preset pressure value with the actually monitored pressure value and then sends out corresponding control signals to automatically adjust the pressure regulating valve or the variable frequency speed regulation device, keeping the system pressure within the set range.Advantages: This automated pressure control method can quickly and accurately respond to changes in the system pressure, improve the accuracy and stability of pressure control, reduce manual intervention, and lower the risk of operational errors. When adjusting and controlling the working pressure of the spray system, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the specific model of the F-series drilling mud pump, working conditions, and the design requirements of the spray system. At the same time, regularly inspect and maintain the pressure regulating devices to ensure their normal operation, so as to ensure that the spray system can stably provide the appropriate cooling and flushing pressure for the mud pump.

Geological Exploration Drilling: In the field of geological exploration, it is used for drilling geological structures, obtaining core samples, and other operations, providing data support for geological research. Ⅴ. Transmission Process The power transmission process of the power end of the F1600HL Electric Motor Driven Drilling Mud Pump is as follows: Motor Power Output: After the motor of the electric drive system is started, it generates rotational power. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the gear shaft, transmitting the power to the gear shaft. Gear Transmission: The gear on the gear shaft meshes with the bull gear. The rotation of the gear drives the bull gear to rotate. The bull gear is closely combined with the bull gear shaft through a key connection or other fixing methods, and the bull gear shaft rotates with the bull gear, thus transmitting the power from the gear shaft to the bull gear shaft assembly. Crankshaft Rotation: The rotational motion of the bull gear shaft is transmitted to the crankshaft, driving the crankshaft to rotate. The crankshaft is usually an integral casting made of alloy steel, which is precisely processed and inspected by flaw detection. Connecting Rod Transmission: The crankshaft is connected to the crosshead through the connecting rod. The rotational motion of the crankshaft is converted into the reciprocating linear motion of the crosshead through the connecting rod. During the movement of the connecting rod, one end moves in a circular motion with the crankshaft, and the other end drives the crosshead to move in a reciprocating linear motion in the slideway. Crosshead Driving the Piston: The crosshead is connected to the intermediate tie rod, and the intermediate tie rod is then connected to the piston. The reciprocating linear motion of the crosshead is transmitted to the piston through the intermediate tie rod, making the piston move reciprocally in the cylinder, thus providing power for the hydraulic end and realizing the suction and discharge of the mud. The power transmission process of the hydraulic end of the F1600HL Electric Motor Driven Drilling Mud Pump is as follows: Piston Reciprocating Motion: The crosshead at the power end drives the piston to move reciprocally in the cylinder through the intermediate tie rod. When the piston moves backward, a negative pressure is formed in the cylinder; when the piston moves forward, the mud in the cylinder is compressed, and the pressure increases. Suction Process: When the piston moves backward, the pressure in the cylinder decreases to form a vacuum. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the mud pushes open the suction valve and enters the cylinder. The suction air chamber can stabilize the suction pressure and reduce pressure fluctuations, enabling the mud to enter the cylinder more smoothly. Discharge Process: When the piston moves forward, the mud in the cylinder is compressed, and the pressure increases. The suction valve closes, and the discharge valve is pushed open. The mud is forced out of the cylinder and is transported to the drill pipe through the discharge manifold and then sent to the bottom of the well. The function of the discharge air chamber is to reduce the pressure fluctuations in the discharge system, making the discharged mud flow more stable. Ⅵ. MaintenanceDaily Maintenance Check Operating Parameters: Check the operating parameters of the pump every day, including pressure, flow rate, motor current, and voltage, etc., to ensure that these parameters operate within the specified range. If any abnormal parameters are found, stop the machine immediately to check the cause. Check the Lubrication System: Before each start-up and during operation, check the oil level, oil quality, and oil temperature of the lubricating oil at the power end. The oil level should be maintained within the specified scale range. The oil quality should be clean without impurities and emulsification. Generally, the oil temperature should not exceed the specified value (usually 60 - 70℃). Regularly replenish or replace the lubricating oil, and at the same time, check the working status of the oil pump to ensure the normal oil supply of the lubrication system. Check the Cooling System: Check the working condition of the spray pump to ensure its normal operation, providing good cooling and lubrication for the cylinder liner and piston at the hydraulic end. Check whether there are blockages, water leaks, and other problems in the cooling water pipeline, and clean the blockages and repair the water leakage points in a timely manner. Check the Sealing Condition: Observe the sealing parts of the pump, including the cylinder liner seal at the hydraulic end, the valve seat seal, and the shaft seal at the power end, etc., to see if there is any mud leakage. If leakage is found, find out the cause in time and replace the damaged sealing parts. Clean the Equipment: Regularly clean the mud, oil stains, dust, and other sundries on the surface of the pump body to keep the equipment clean. Pay special attention to cleaning the dust on the motor cooling fins to ensure good heat dissipation of the motor. Regular Maintenance Replace Vulnerable Parts: According to the running time and wear condition of the pump, regularly replace vulnerable parts such as pistons, cylinder liners, valve seats, valve plates, and crosshead sliders, etc. It is generally recommended to check and replace these vulnerable parts after running for a certain number of hours (such as 500 - 1000 hours). Check Components at the Power End: Regularly open the inspection cover of the power end, check the wear condition of components such as gears, crankshafts, and connecting rods, measure the fit clearance of each component. If the wear exceeds the specified range, repair or replace it in time. At the same time, check the tightness of each connecting bolt to ensure a firm connection. Check Components at the Hydraulic End: Regularly disassemble the valve box at the hydraulic end, check the sealing performance and wear condition of the valve seat and valve plate, and clean up the sundries and mud deposits in the valve box. Measure the wear of the cylinder liner. If the inner diameter wear of the cylinder liner exceeds the specified value, replace it in time. Calibrate the Safety Valve: Regularly calibrate the safety valve to ensure that it can be reliably opened and closed within the specified pressure range to protect the safety of the equipment. Generally, the safety valve should be calibrated every six months or once a year. Maintain the Electrical System: Regularly check the insulation resistance of the motor to ensure good insulation. Clean the dust inside the frequency converter, control cabinet, and other electrical equipment, and check whether the connections of each electrical component are loose. If loose, tighten them in time. Maintenance in Special Situations Long-term Shutdown: If the pump needs to be shut down for a long time, comprehensive maintenance and protection should be carried out. First, empty the mud in the pump and rinse the hydraulic end and pipeline system thoroughly with clean water to prevent the mud from settling and solidifying. Then, apply anti-rust oil to the exposed parts of the power end and the hydraulic end to prevent rust. Finally, park the pump in a dry and well-ventilated place and turn the pump shaft regularly to prevent the parts from rusting and jamming. After Fault Repair: After the pump malfunctions and is repaired, focus on checking and testing the repaired parts. Ensure that the repaired parts are correctly installed and firmly connected, and that all performance indicators meet the requirements. At the same time, conduct a trial run of the entire pump unit, check whether the operation is stable and whether the parameters are normal. Only after confirming that there are no problems can it be put into formal use.    

The crosshead assembly of the drilling mud pump is one of the key components of the mud pump. The following is a detailed introduction to each of its components: Ⅰ. Crosshead Assembly Crosshead Structure and Function: It is usually a block structure made of cast steel or high-strength cast iron. It serves as the hub connecting the connecting rod and the pony rod. It converts the swinging motion of the connecting rod into the linear reciprocating motion of the pony rod, and at the same time, it bears the huge pressure and impact force during the operation of the mud pump. Design Features: It has multiple connection holes and mating surfaces, which are precisely connected and mated with other components. Its surface is processed to ensure good contact with components such as the crosshead slide block and the crosshead pin, reducing wear and friction. Crosshead Pin Structure and Function: Generally, it is a cylindrical metal pin, and its diameter is determined according to the specifications and load of the mud pump. It passes through the crosshead and the small end of the connecting rod, connecting the two together and transmitting power and motion. Material and Process: It is made of high-quality alloy steel, such as 40Cr, etc. Through processes such as forging, machining, quenching, and grinding, it has high strength, hardness, and wear resistance. The surface hardness is generally around HRC50-55 to withstand frequent impact loads.  Mud Pump Crosshead Guide Board Structure and Function: It is usually a pair of planar metal plates, installed at fixed positions on both sides or around the crosshead. Its function is to provide precise guidance for the movement of the crosshead, ensuring that the crosshead moves back and forth along a straight line trajectory and reducing shaking and deviation. Material and Surface Treatment: Commonly used materials are wear-resistant cast iron or bronze. To improve wear resistance and reduce the friction coefficient, the surface is chromed or nitrided. The thickness of the chrome plating layer is generally between 0.02-0.05mm. Mud Pump Pony Rod Structure and Function: It is a slender rod-shaped component connecting the crosshead and the piston. It transmits the linear motion of the crosshead to the piston, enabling the piston to move back and forth in the pump cylinder, thus realizing the suction and discharge of the mud. Material and Performance Requirements: High-strength alloy steel, such as 35CrMo, etc., is used. It has a high tensile strength and yield strength, generally with a tensile strength of over 800-1000MPa to withstand the pulling and pressure forces generated when the piston moves in the pump cylinder. Crosshead Bearing Structure and Function: It is installed between the crosshead and the machine body or other fixed components, used to support the weight and motion load of the crosshead. It plays a role in reducing friction, lowering wear, and ensuring the flexible movement of the crosshead. Types and Characteristics: Common types include sliding bearings and rolling bearings. Sliding bearings usually use materials such as Babbit metal or bronze, which have good wear resistance and anti-seizure properties and can withstand large impact loads, but require good lubrication conditions. Rolling bearings have the advantages of a small friction coefficient and low starting resistance, but they have high requirements for installation accuracy and lubrication. Mud Pump Crosshead stuffing Box Structure and Function: It is a sealing device installed between the crosshead and the pump body, mainly composed of components such as the stuffing box, packing, and gland. Its function is to prevent the mud from leaking from the gap between the crosshead and the pump body, ensuring the sealing performance and working efficiency of the mud pump. Sealing Material and Principle: The packing is usually a ring-shaped structure made of materials such as graphite, asbestos, or polytetrafluoroethylene. By applying a certain pressure to the packing through the gland, the packing forms a seal in the packing box to prevent the mud from leaking. The sealing performance of the packing box directly affects the working environment and efficiency of the mud pump, and the packing needs to be regularly inspected and replaced. Ⅱ. The working principle of the crosshead assembly of the mud pump is to convert the rotational motion of the crankshaft into the linear reciprocating motion of the piston, thereby realizing the suction and discharge of the mud. The specific process is as follows: Power Input: The power source of the mud pump (such as an electric motor or a diesel engine) drives the crankshaft to rotate through transmission devices such as pulleys and gears. The crankshaft is the main transmission component of the mud pump, and its rotational motion is the power foundation for the operation of the entire mud pump. Motion Conversion: The rotational motion of the crankshaft is transmitted to the crosshead assembly through the connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the crank pin of the crankshaft, and the other end is connected to the crosshead pin. When the crankshaft rotates, the connecting rod makes a swinging motion. Since the crosshead is restricted within the guiding range of the crosshead guide board and can only move linearly, the swinging of the connecting rod forces the crosshead to make a linear reciprocating motion under the constraint of the crosshead guide board. Force Transmission: During the linear reciprocating motion of the crosshead, the force is transmitted to the piston through the pony rod. One end of the pony rod is connected to the crosshead, and the other end is connected to the piston. In this way, the linear motion of the crosshead is transmitted to the piston, making the piston move back and forth in the mud pump fluid end module. Mud Conveyance: When the piston moves back and forth in the mud pump fluid end module, it changes the volume inside the mud pump fluid end module. When the piston moves backward, the volume inside the mud pump fluid end module increases, the pressure decreases, and the mud enters the mud pump fluid end module through the suction valve under the action of atmospheric pressure; when the piston moves forward, the volume inside the mud pump fluid end module decreases, the pressure increases, and the mud is squeezed out through the discharge valve, thus realizing the suction and discharge process of the mud. The crosshead bearing plays a role in supporting the crosshead throughout the process, reducing the friction and wear during the movement of the crosshead, and ensuring that the crosshead can move linearly and reciprocally flexibly. At the same time, the crosshead stuffing box is used to seal the gap between the crosshead and the pump body to prevent the mud from leaking and ensure the normal operation of the mud pump. Ⅲ. The common faults and solutions of the crosshead assembly of the mud pump are as follows:Wear of the Slide Block Fault Manifestation: The gap between the slide block and the guide plate increases, causing the crosshead to shake during movement, affecting the normal operation of the mud pump. In severe cases, it may cause uneven wear between the piston and the cylinder liner, reducing the efficiency of the mud pump. Cause Analysis: The long-term reciprocating motion causes friction between the slide block and the guide plate. Factors such as insufficient lubrication, mud impurities entering the friction surface, and poor wear resistance of the slide block material will accelerate the wear. Solution: Regularly check the gap between the slide block and the guide plate. When the gap exceeds the specified value, the gap can be reduced by adjusting the shim. For severely worn slide blocks, they should be replaced in a timely manner. At the same time, ensure that the lubrication system works properly, replace the lubricating oil regularly, clean the lubrication channel, and prevent impurities from entering. Wear or Fracture of the Crosshead Pin Fault Manifestation: Wear marks, pitting, or cracks appear on the surface of the crosshead pin. In severe cases, the crosshead pin fractures, resulting in the failure of the connection between the crosshead and the connecting rod, and the mud pump cannot operate normally. Cause Analysis: The crosshead pin bears a large alternating load during the working process and is also affected by factors such as lubrication conditions and assembly accuracy. If there are problems such as poor lubrication, poor quality of the crosshead pin material, or eccentricity or excessive clearance during assembly, it is likely to cause wear or fracture of the crosshead pin. Solution: Select a reliable crosshead pin material and strictly control the processing accuracy and assembly quality of the crosshead pin. Regularly check the wear condition of the crosshead pin, and replace it in a timely manner when wear or cracks are found. Strengthen the lubrication management to ensure good lubrication at the mating parts of the crosshead pin with the crosshead body and the small end of the connecting rod. Cracks in the Crosshead Body Fault Manifestation: Cracks appear on the surface or inside of the crosshead body, which may lead to a decrease in the strength of the crosshead body and even fracture, affecting the safe operation of the mud pump. Cause Analysis: The crosshead body bears complex stresses during operation, such as the inertial force generated by the reciprocating motion and the impact force caused by the mud pressure. If there are defects in the material of the crosshead body, unreasonable casting process, long-term operation under high load, or abnormal impact, cracks may be triggered. Solution: Conduct flaw detection inspection on the crosshead body to timely discover potential cracks. For slight cracks, the welding repair method can be used, but attention should be paid to the welding process to prevent the generation of new cracks. For crosshead bodies with severe cracks, new components should be replaced. In daily use, avoid overloading the mud pump and reduce abnormal impacts. Blockage of the Lubricating Oil Passage Fault Manifestation: The lubricating oil cannot be normally delivered to each friction part, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the crosshead assembly and wear. Cause Analysis: Impurities, sludge, or metal debris in the lubricating oil may block the oil passage. In addition, the inappropriate viscosity of the lubricating oil, too high or too low oil temperature will also affect the fluidity of the oil, leading to the blockage of the oil passage. Solution: Regularly clean the lubricating oil passage, and special cleaning agents or high-pressure oil can be used for flushing. Replace the lubricating oil that meets the requirements, regularly check the oil quality, and filter or replace the contaminated oil in a timely manner. At the same time, ensure that the oil temperature of the lubrication system is within the normal range, and an oil temperature regulating device can be installed to control the oil temperature.    

The transmission system of an oil drilling rig is a device that transfers the energy from the power source to various working machines, enabling the hoisting, rotation, circulation and other systems of the drilling rig to work in coordination. The following is a detailed introduction to its composition and characteristics: Ⅰ. Components Gearbox: It is used to reduce the rotational speed and increase the torque to meet the rotational speed and torque requirements of different working machines. For example, the drawworks requires a large torque to hoist and lower the drilling tools. Through the gearbox, the high rotational speed and low torque of the power source can be converted into the low rotational speed and high torque required by the drawworks. Clutch: It is a component in the transmission system used to connect and cut off the power transmission. It allows the working machine to engage with the power source when needed to obtain power for operation, and can also cut off the power when not needed to achieve the independent operation or stop of the working machine. Common types include jaw clutches and friction clutches. Coupling: It is used to connect the shafts of different components, transmit torque and rotational motion, and at the same time compensate for the installation errors and relative displacements between the shafts. For example, when connecting the shafts of the power source and the gearbox, and the gearbox and the working machine, the coupling can ensure the effective transmission of power and adapt to the slight deformation and displacement of the shafts during the operation of the equipment. Drive shaft: It is an important component for power transmission, usually made of high-strength steel, and is used to transmit torque and rotational motion between different components. The drive shaft needs to have sufficient strength and stiffness to withstand the huge torque and bending moment during the transmission process. Chain and sprocket for workover rig: In the transmission system of some oil drilling rigs, chains and sprockets are used to transmit power. The chain is put on the sprocket, and the rotation of the sprocket drives the chain to move, thus transmitting power from one component to another. Chain drive has the advantages of high transmission efficiency and can adapt to a relatively large center distance. Belt drive device: Generally composed of banded V belts and pulleys, it transmits power through the frictional force between the belt and the pulleys. Belt drive has the characteristics of smooth transmission, buffering and vibration absorption, and overload protection. It is often used in parts where the requirements for transmission accuracy are not high and a certain degree of flexible transmission is needed. Ⅱ. Transmission ModesIn actual oil drilling rigs, a composite transmission system that combines multiple transmission modes is usually adopted according to factors such as the type of the drilling rig, working conditions, and performance requirements, so as to give full play to the advantages of various transmission modes and meet the complex requirements of oil drilling operations. Mechanical Transmission System Composition and Functions of Components Gear transmission: Composed of meshing gears, it transmits power and motion through the meshing of the teeth of the gears. It can achieve a large transmission ratio, has high transmission efficiency, a compact structure, and reliable operation. It is often used in components such as gearboxes and transfer cases to meet the rotational speed and torque requirements of different working machines.

It is suitable for the transmission between two shafts with a relatively large center distance, can adapt to harsh working environments, and has a relatively high transmission efficiency. For example, the winch drive part of the drilling rig may use chain transmission. Belt drive: Generally composed of a belt and pulleys, it relies on the frictional force between the belt and the pulleys to transmit power. It has the advantages of smooth transmission, buffering and vibration absorption, and the belt will slip on the pulley to play a protective role when overloaded. It is often used in the transmission of auxiliary equipment of the drilling rig where the requirements for transmission accuracy are not high and a certain degree of flexible transmission is needed. Characteristics: The mechanical transmission system has high transmission efficiency, reliable operation, can transmit large torque and power, has a relatively simple structure, and low maintenance cost. However, the transmission ratio is fixed, the flexibility is poor, there are many components, and the requirements for installation and debugging are relatively high. Hydraulic Transmission System Composition and Functions of Components Torque converter: It is the core component of the hydraulic transmission system, mainly composed of a centrifugal pump impeller, a turbine, and a guide wheel. The pump impeller is connected to the power source and converts mechanical energy into the kinetic energy of the liquid; the turbine is connected to the working machine and converts the kinetic energy of the liquid into mechanical energy for output; the guide wheel plays the role of changing the flow direction of the liquid and increasing the torque. The torque converter can automatically change the output torque and rotational speed under different working conditions, enabling the drilling rig to have good adaptability. Hydraulic pump: It converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy, provides high-pressure oil for the hydraulic transmission system, and drives the execution components such as the torque converter and the hydraulic motor to work.

At the same time, it has stepless speed regulation performance, can smoothly adjust the rotational speed and torque according to the work requirements, and has strong buffering and vibration absorption capabilities, which can make the start and operation of the drilling rig more stable. However, the transmission efficiency of the hydraulic transmission system is relatively low, especially at low loads, and the system structure is complex, with high maintenance costs. Electric Transmission System Composition and Functions of Components Generator: It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy and provides a power source for the electric transmission system. It is usually driven by a diesel engine or other power sources to generate three-phase alternating current. Electric motor: It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and drives each working machine of the drilling rig. According to different working requirements, different types and powers of electric motors can be selected. For example, DC motors have good speed regulation performance, and AC variable frequency motors have the advantages of high efficiency, energy conservation, and a wide speed regulation range. Frequency converter: It is used to adjust the power frequency of the AC motor, thereby achieving stepless speed regulation of the motor. By changing the output frequency of the frequency converter, the rotational speed of the motor can be precisely controlled to meet the requirements of different working conditions during the drilling process. Control system: It includes various electrical components, controllers, and sensors, etc., and is used to monitor, control, and protect the electric transmission system. It can realize operations such as starting, stopping, speed regulation, and forward and reverse rotation of the motor, and at the same time monitor parameters such as the voltage, current, and temperature of the system.

In addition, the electric transmission system operates stably, has low noise, and causes little pollution to the environment. However, the electric transmission system requires a reliable power supply, has high requirements for the stability of the power grid, and the equipment investment cost is relatively large. Composite Transmission System Composition and Forms: The composite transmission system is a transmission system that combines multiple transmission modes such as mechanical transmission, hydraulic transmission, and electric transmission. Common composite transmission forms include mechanical-hydraulic composite transmission, mechanical-electric composite transmission, and hydraulic-electric composite transmission, etc. For example, in some large oil drilling rigs, the mechanical-hydraulic composite transmission mode of diesel engine-torque converter-gearbox may be adopted to drive the winch, taking advantage of the good adaptability of the torque converter and the high efficiency of gear transmission to meet the working requirements of the winch; at the same time, the electric transmission mode is adopted to drive the rotary table to achieve precise speed regulation and control of the rotary table.

The well control system of a drilling rig is a crucial device to ensure the safety of drilling operations. The following provides a detailed introduction to its various components: Ⅰ.Blowout Preventer (BOP) Stack Ram Blowout Preventer Structure: It is mainly composed of components such as the housing, ram assembly, side doors, piston rods, and hydraulic cylinders. The housing is the main body of the ram blowout preventer, inside which components like the ram assembly are installed. The ram assembly includes full-open rams and half-open rams, which are key components for achieving wellhead sealing. The side doors are used for installing and removing the ram assembly. The piston rods connect the ram assembly and the hydraulic cylinders, transmitting hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic cylinders provide the power to move the rams. Working Principle: When it is necessary to close the wellhead, the hydraulic system injects high-pressure oil into the hydraulic cylinders, pushing the piston rods to drive the rams to move horizontally. The rams then squeeze each other at the center of the wellhead to achieve the sealing of the wellhead. The full-open rams completely seal the wellhead when there is no drill string in the wellhead. The half-open rams, according to the size of the drill string, grip the drill string and seal the annular space when there is a drill string in the wellhead. Characteristics: It has a reliable sealing performance and can withstand a relatively high wellhead pressure. It is easy to operate, acts quickly, and can be remotely controlled. It has various types and specifications, which can adapt to different drilling working conditions and drill string combinations. Annular Blowout Preventer Structure: It is mainly composed of components such as the annular blowout preventer element, piston, housing, and top cover. The annular packing element is the core component of the annular blowout preventer, usually made of elastic materials such as rubber and has an annular structure. The piston is located below the element and closely cooperates with it. The housing supports the element and the piston and connects to the wellhead. The top cover is used to fix the element and seal the upper space. Working Principle: When hydraulic oil enters the hydraulic cylinder below the piston, it pushes the piston to move upward. The piston squeezes the element, causing the element to elastically deform, thereby gripping the drill string or sealing the wellhead annular space. When it is necessary to open the wellhead, the hydraulic system releases the hydraulic pressure, and the element returns to its original shape under its own elastic force, and the wellhead is opened. Characteristics: It can adapt to drill strings of different sizes and shapes, including kelly bars, drill pipes, and drill collars. It has a good sealing performance and allows the drill string to move up and down and rotate to a certain extent. However, it cannot withstand high pressure for a long time, and the element is prone to wear and needs to be replaced regularly. Rotating Blowout Preventer Structure: It is mainly composed of components such as the rotating assembly, rotating blowout preventer sealing element, housing, bearings, and hydraulic control system. The rotating assembly includes components such as the rotating shaft, rotating head, and connecting flanges, which are the components for the rotation of the drill string. The sealing element is used to seal the annular space between the drill string and the wellhead. The housing supports the rotating assembly and the sealing element and connects to the wellhead. The bearings are installed between the rotating shaft and the housing to ensure the smooth rotation of the rotating assembly. The hydraulic control system is used to control the gripping and releasing of the sealing element. Working Principle: During the drilling process, the drill string is connected to the rotating blowout preventer through the rotating assembly. When it is necessary to control the wellhead pressure, the hydraulic system provides pressure to the sealing element, causing the element to grip the drill string and achieve wellhead sealing. At the same time, the rotating assembly, supported by the bearings, can rotate along with the drill string to ensure the normal progress of the drilling operation. Characteristics: It allows the drill string to rotate and move up and down under pressure, improving the drilling efficiency. It has a reliable sealing performance and can withstand a certain wellhead pressure. However, its structure is complex, and the maintenance requirements are relatively high. Ⅱ.Choke Manifold and Kill Manifold Choke Manifold Structure: It is mainly composed of components such as choke valves, flat valves, pipelines, pressure gauges, and thermometers. The choke valve is the core component of the choke manifold, used to regulate the flow rate and pressure of the drilling fluid. The flat valve is used to control the opening and closing of the pipeline. The pipelines connect all the components to form the flow channel of the drilling fluid. The pressure gauges and thermometers are used to monitor the pressure and temperature of the drilling fluid in the choke manifold. Working Principle: In well control operations, by adjusting the opening degree of the choke valve, the flow area of the drilling fluid is changed, thereby controlling the flow rate of the drilling fluid and the wellhead backpressure. When the wellhead pressure rises, the opening degree of the choke valve is reduced to increase the wellhead backpressure, causing the bottomhole pressure to rise and balance the formation pressure. When the wellhead pressure drops, the opening degree of the choke valve is increased to reduce the wellhead backpressure and prevent the bottomhole pressure from being too high, which may lead to lost circulation. Characteristics: The choke valve has good throttling performance and adjustment accuracy, which can precisely control the flow rate and pressure of the drilling fluid. The flat valve has a good sealing performance and can withstand a relatively high pressure. The choke manifold has a variety of connection methods and specifications and can be selected according to different drilling equipment and working conditions. Kill Manifold Structure: It is mainly composed of components such as a kill pump, check valve, safety valve, pipelines, and pressure gauges. The kill pump is the core equipment of the kill manifold, used to pump the kill fluid into the well. The check valve prevents the backflow of the kill fluid. The safety valve is used to protect the kill manifold and wellhead equipment and prevent the pressure from being too high. The pipelines connect all the components to form the conveying channel of the kill fluid. The pressure gauges are used to monitor the pressure in the kill manifold. Working Principle: In the event of a kick or blowout, first, the wellhead blowout preventer is closed, and then the kill pump is started to pump the prepared kill fluid into the well through the kill manifold. The kill fluid mixes with the formation fluid in the well and gradually balances the formation pressure to restore the pressure balance in the well. During the kill operation, by adjusting the displacement and pressure of the kill pump and observing the readings of the pressure gauges, the safety and effectiveness of the kill operation are ensured. Characteristics: The kill pump has sufficient displacement and pressure to quickly pump the kill fluid into the well. The check valve and safety valve ensure the safety and reliability of the kill manifold. The pipelines of the kill manifold usually use high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials, which can withstand high pressure and harsh working environments. Ⅲ.Well Control Instruments Drilling Fluid Tank Level Monitor Structure: It is mainly composed of components such as sensors, transmitters, and display instruments. The sensors are installed in the drilling fluid tank and are used to measure the liquid level height. The transmitters convert the signals measured by the sensors into standard electrical or pneumatic signals. The display instruments are installed in the operation room or control console of the drilling platform and are used to display the numerical value and change situation of the liquid level height. Working Principle: The sensors measure the liquid level height in the drilling fluid tank through principles such as buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and ultrasonic waves and transmit the measured signals to the transmitters. The transmitters convert the signals and then transmit them to the display instruments for display. When the liquid level height changes, the numerical value on the display instrument will also change accordingly. The operator can promptly determine whether abnormal situations such as kick or lost circulation occur in the well according to the rise and fall of the liquid level. Characteristics: It has high measurement accuracy and can accurately measure small changes in the liquid level height. It has a fast response speed and can promptly reflect the dynamic changes of the liquid level. It has a variety of measurement methods and signal output forms and can adapt to different structures of the drilling fluid tank and control systems. Standpipe Pressure Sensor Structure: It is mainly composed of components such as a pressure-sensitive element, signal conversion circuit, and housing. The pressure-sensitive element usually uses materials such as strain gauges and piezoelectric crystals and is used to sense the pressure of the drilling fluid in the standpipe. The signal conversion circuit converts the weak electrical signals generated by the pressure-sensitive element into standard electrical signals. The housing protects the pressure-sensitive element and the signal conversion circuit from interference and damage by the external environment. Working Principle: When the pressure of the drilling fluid in the standpipe acts on the pressure-sensitive element, the pressure-sensitive element deforms, causing changes in its parameters such as resistance or capacitance. The signal conversion circuit converts these parameter changes into electrical signals and transmits them to the instrument control system of the drilling platform through cables. The instrument control system processes and displays the received electrical signals. The operator can judge the change trend of the bottomhole pressure according to the change situation of the standpipe pressure and promptly adjust the drilling parameters and take well control measures.

Characteristics: It has high measurement accuracy and reliability and can accurately measure the pressure changes in the casing. It is easy to install and can be directly installed on the wellhead casing. It has good sealing performance to prevent the fluid in the casing from leaking. Ⅳ.Control System Hydraulic Control System Structure: It is mainly composed of components such as a hydraulic station, control pipelines, directional control valves, relief valves, and accumulators. The hydraulic station includes components such as an oil pump, motor, oil tank, and filter, which are used to provide hydraulic power. The control pipelines connect the hydraulic station with devices such as the blowout preventer stack, choke manifold, and kill manifold to transmit hydraulic oil. The directional control valves are used to control the flow direction of the hydraulic oil to achieve the action control of each device. The relief valves are used to regulate the system pressure and prevent the pressure from being too high. The accumulators are used to store hydraulic energy and provide additional power for the system in case of an emergency. Working Principle: The motor drives the oil pump to extract hydraulic oil from the oil tank, pressurizes it, and then transports it to each hydraulic device through the control pipelines. When it is necessary to control the action of a certain device, by operating the directional control valve, the flow direction of the hydraulic oil is changed, and the hydraulic oil enters the hydraulic cylinder of the corresponding device, pushing the piston to move and realizing the opening or closing of the device. The relief valve automatically adjusts the flow rate of the hydraulic oil according to the system pressure to maintain the system pressure stable. When the system pressure drops, the accumulator releases the stored hydraulic energy to supplement the system pressure and ensure the normal action of the device. Characteristics: The hydraulic control system has the advantages of fast response speed, high control accuracy, and large output force, and can quickly and accurately control the actions of the well control devices. It has good reliability and stability and can work stably for a long time in harsh working environments. Redundant design and safety protection measures are adopted, which improve the safety and fault tolerance of the system. Remote Control Console Structure: It is mainly composed of components such as the console body, display screen, operation buttons, control circuit, and power supply system.

The control circuit controls the actions of the hydraulic control system or other actuators according to the operation instructions of the operator. The power supply system provides power support for the remote control console and is usually equipped with a backup power supply, such as a battery pack. Working Principle: The operator issues control instructions by operating the buttons on the remote control console. The control circuit converts the instructions into electrical signals and transmits them to the hydraulic control system or other actuators through cables or wireless communication methods. The hydraulic control system controls the actions of the well control devices according to the received signals. At the same time, the status information and pressure data of the well control devices are collected by sensors and transmitted to the display screen of the remote control console for the operator to monitor in real time. In case of an emergency, the backup power supply is automatically put into use to ensure the normal operation of the remote control console.

The drilling rig circulation system is an extremely important part of oil drilling and other operations. It is mainly responsible for the circulation of drilling fluid to achieve functions such as carrying cuttings, cooling the drill bit, lubricating the drilling tools, and balancing the formation pressure. The following is a detailed introduction: Ⅰ. Main Components 1.Drilling Pump Function: It is the core equipment of the circulation system, used to provide power for the circulation of the drilling fluid. It pumps the drilling fluid from the mud pit into the drill string and then sprays it out through the drill bit nozzles. Common drilling pumps include piston pumps, and the F type drilling mud pump is widely used, which has the characteristics of large displacement and high pressure. Type: In common piston pumps, the piston moves back and forth in the cylinder to suck in and discharge the drilling fluid. When the piston moves backward, the volume inside the cylinder increases, the pressure decreases, and the drilling fluid enters the cylinder through the suction valve under the action of atmospheric pressure. When the piston moves forward, the drilling fluid in the cylinder is squeezed, the pressure rises, and the discharge valve is opened to discharge the drilling fluid from the cylinder, thus realizing the suction and discharge process of the drilling fluid. It has the characteristics of large displacement and high pressure and is suitable for various drilling operations. 2.Mud Pit and Storage Tank Function: The mud pit is used to store the drilling fluid and also plays a role in the preliminary precipitation of cuttings during the circulation of the drilling fluid.The storage tank is used to store a large amount of drilling fluid to meet the circulation requirements during the drilling process. The volume of the mud tank is determined according to the scale and requirements of the drilling operation. Usually, multiple mud tanks are connected to form a complete storage system. 3.Mud Purification Equipment It includes drilling fluid shale shakers, desanders, desilters, mud centrifugal pumps, etc. The shale shaker is mainly used to remove larger particles of cuttings in the drilling fluid. The desander and desilter are respectively used to remove smaller particles of sand and mud. The centrifugal mud pump can further separate finer solid particles and weighting materials, purify the drilling fluid, and make it reusable. 4.Drill String and Drill Bit The drill string is the passage for the drilling fluid. The drilling fluid flows downward through the inside of the drill string, and after being sprayed out from the nozzles of the drill bit, it carries the cuttings and returns to the surface along the annulus between the wellbore and the drill string. The design of the drill bit nozzles has an important influence on the spraying speed and flow pattern of the drilling fluid, thus affecting the carrying capacity of the cuttings. The components of the drill string include drill pipes and drill collars. Drill Pipe: It is the main component of the drill string, used to connect the swivel and the drill bit to form a passage for the drilling fluid. Drill pipes are usually made of high-strength alloy steel, which has high strength and toughness and can withstand various loads such as tension, compression, and torsion during the drilling process. Special threads are processed at both ends of the drill pipe for connecting adjacent drill pipes and other drilling tools. Drill Collar: It is generally located at the lower part of the drill string, close to the drill bit. The main function of the drill collar is to provide sufficient weight on bit (WOB) for the drill bit so that the drill bit can effectively break the rock. The drill collar is usually shorter and thicker than the drill pipe, with a large weight and stiffness, which can maintain a stable posture during the drilling process and prevent excessive bending and swinging of the drill string. 5.Surface Manifolds It connects various components such as the drilling pump, drill string, mud purification equipment, and mud pit, forming a passage for the circulation of the drilling fluid. The surface manifolds need to have good sealing performance and pressure resistance to ensure the smooth circulation of the drilling fluid. Suction Manifold: It connects the mud tank and the inlet of the drilling pump and is used to smoothly transport the drilling fluid in the mud tank to the drilling pump. The suction manifold usually includes suction pipelines, suction valves, filters, and other components. The filter can prevent large-particle impurities from entering the drilling pump and avoid damage to the pump. Discharge Manifold: It transports the high-pressure drilling fluid discharged from the drilling pump to the standpipe and subsequent equipment. Various valves such as safety valves, throttle valves, and mud gate valves are installed on the discharge manifold to control the flow rate, pressure, and flow direction of the drilling fluid. The safety valve can automatically open to release the pressure when the system pressure is too high to protect the equipment safety. The throttle valve is used to precisely adjust the flow rate of the drilling fluid to meet the needs of different drilling conditions. 6.Standpipe and Hose Standpipe: It is a vertical pipe installed beside the derrick, which transports the high-pressure drilling fluid in the surface manifolds to the upper part of the wellhead. The standpipe is usually made of high-strength steel pipes and can withstand the pressure of high-pressure drilling fluid. For the convenience of installation and maintenance, the standpipe is generally composed of multiple sections, and the sections are connected by flanges or threads. Hose: It is a flexible high-pressure hose connecting the standpipe and the swivel. The hose has good flexibility and pressure resistance and can swing flexibly with the up-and-down movement and rotation of the drilling tools to ensure that the drilling fluid can be smoothly transported from the standpipe to the drill string. The inside of the hose is usually made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to extend its service life. 7.Swivel Rotation Function: It allows the drill string to move up and down while rotating, enabling the drilling fluid to enter the inside of the drill string through the swivel. The rotating part of the drilling rotary swivel uses high-precision bearings and sealing devices, which can maintain good sealing performance and stability in a high-speed rotation and high-pressure environment. Loading Function: It bears the weight of the drill string and various axial and radial forces generated during the drilling process. The outer shell and internal structure of the swivel have sufficient strength and stiffness to ensure safe and reliable operation throughout the drilling process. Ⅱ. Overall Working Principle The drilling pump sucks the treated drilling fluid from the mud tank and enters the pump body through the suction manifold. Under the action of the pump, the drilling fluid is pressurized to the required pressure and then transported to the standpipe through the discharge manifold. The standpipe transports the high-pressure drilling fluid vertically upward to the hose at the top of the derrick. The hose introduces the drilling fluid into the swivel, and the swivel distributes the drilling fluid into the inside of the drill string. The drilling fluid flows downward along the axis inside the drill string. After reaching the drill bit, it is sprayed out at a high speed from the nozzles of the drill bit. The design of the nozzles enables the drilling fluid to impact the rock at the bottom of the well at a high speed to assist the drill bit in breaking the rock. At the same time, after being sprayed out from the drill bit, the drilling fluid carries the cuttings at the bottom of the well and enters the annulus between the drill string and the wellbore together. In the annulus, the drilling fluid carries the cuttings and flows upward to return to the surface. The drilling fluid returning to the surface enters the mud tank through the surface manifolds. In the mud tank, the drilling fluid is first agitated by the agitator to keep the solid particles in suspension. Then, it passes through treatment equipment such as the desander, desilter, and centrifuge in turn to remove the cuttings, sand particles, and other harmful components. The treated drilling fluid is sucked in by the drilling pump again to start a new cycle. Ⅲ. Function and Importance Carrying Cuttings: It timely carries the cuttings broken by the drill bit from the bottom of the well to the surface, preventing the cuttings from accumulating at the bottom of the well and affecting the drilling efficiency and the service life of the drill bit. Cooling and Lubricating: During the circulation process, the drilling fluid can take away the heat generated by the drill bit and the drill string during the drilling process, playing a cooling role. At the same time, it can also form a lubricating film between the drill string and the wellbore, reducing the frictional resistance and reducing the wear of the drilling tools. Balancing Formation Pressure: The drilling fluid with appropriate performance can balance the formation pressure, prevent formation fluids (such as oil, gas, and water) from flowing into the wellbore, avoid accidents such as blowouts, and ensure the safety of the drilling operation. Protecting the Wellbore Wall: The mud cake formed by the drilling fluid on the wellbore wall can play a role in stabilizing the wellbore wall, preventing the wellbore wall from collapsing, and maintaining the integrity of the wellbore. Ⅳ. Maintenance Points Maintenance of the Drilling Pump: Regularly check the wear conditions of vulnerable parts such as the piston, cylinder liner, and valve seat of the pump, and replace the severely worn parts in a timely manner. Keep the lubrication system and cooling system of the pump working normally. Regularly check the oil level and quality of the lubricating oil to ensure that the cooling water is sufficient. In addition, it is also necessary to regularly clean the pump to prevent impurities such as mud from accumulating on the surface and inside of the pump body. Maintenance of the Manifolds: Check whether there are leakage phenomena at the connection parts of the manifolds, and tighten the loose bolts or replace the seals in a timely manner. Regularly clean the dirt and debris inside the manifolds to prevent them from blocking the pipelines. Maintain the valves on the manifolds to ensure that the valves can be opened and closed flexibly and have good sealing performance. Regularly lubricate and maintain the valves to prevent the valves from rusting and jamming. Maintenance of the Standpipe and Hose: Check whether the fixing of the standpipe is firm and whether there are deformation or corrosion phenomena. Regularly check the welds of the standpipe to prevent the occurrence of defects such as cracks. Avoid excessive bending and stretching of the hose. Regularly check whether there are damages such as cracks and bulges on the surface of the hose. If there is any damage, it should be replaced in a timely manner. At the same time, keep the hose clean and avoid impurities such as mud adhering to the surface, which will affect its performance. Maintenance of the Swivel: Regularly check the rotating part and the sealing part of the swivel to ensure that it rotates flexibly and has good sealing performance. Lubricate and maintain the bearings of the swivel and replace the lubricating grease regularly. Check whether there are cracks or deformations in components such as the bail and gooseneck of the swivel. If there are any problems, they should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner. Maintenance of the Drill String: During the tripping operation, pay attention to the operation specifications to avoid excessive impact and bending of the drill string. Regularly check whether the threads of the drill pipe and drill collar are worn, deformed, or damaged, and clean, grease, and repair the threads in a timely manner. Conduct non-destructive testing on the drill string to check whether there are defects such as cracks inside to ensure the safety and reliability of the drill string. Maintenance of the Mud Tank: Regularly clean the sand and debris in the mud tank to keep the tank clean. Check whether the blades of the agitator are worn, and replace the damaged blades in a timely manner to ensure the normal operation of the agitator. Carry out anti-corrosion treatment on the tank body of the mud tank to prevent the tank body from being corroded by the drilling fluid. At the same time, regularly check whether the instruments such as the level gauge and thermometer of the mud tank are working normally to ensure that the parameters of the drilling fluid can be accurately measured and monitored.    

The rotary system of drilling equipment enables the drill string and the drill bit to rotate, thereby penetrating the earth's strata and drilling a wellbore. It is mainly composed of the rotary table, top drive device, drill string, drill bit, and related control systems. The following is a detailed introduction for you: Ⅰ. Main Components Power Source: It provides power for the rotary system. Commonly used ones are diesel engines and electric motors. Large-scale drilling platforms may use multiple diesel engines or electric motors working jointly to meet the power demands of different drilling conditions. Transmission Device: It includes gear transmission, chain transmission, hydraulic transmission and other devices. Its function is to transmit the power of the power source to the drill string, so that the drill string drives the drill bit to rotate. For example, in the rotary table rotary system, the power is transmitted from the power source to the rotary table through gear transmission, and then the rotary table drives the kelly to rotate; in the top drive system, the power is directly transmitted to the top drive device at the top of the drill string through hydraulic or electrical transmission devices. Drill String: It is composed of drill pipes, drill collars, etc., and is an important component connecting the drill bit and surface equipment. It transmits the rotational power from the surface to the drill bit at the bottom of the well. At the same time, during the drilling process, it also plays the roles of conveying the drilling fluid and supporting the drill bit. Drill Bit: It is a tool that directly acts on the rock. According to different geological conditions and drilling requirements, there are various types, such as roller cone bits, PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) bits, etc. The drill bit, through various cutting structures, rotates and cuts the rock under the drive of the drill string to form a wellbore. Ⅱ. Rotary Table Structure: It is mainly composed of a driving device, a turntable, a main bearing, a sprocket, a braking device, etc. The driving device generally uses an electric motor or a hydraulic motor, and transmits the power to the turntable through the sprocket and chain. The main bearing supports the turntable to enable it to rotate smoothly. The braking device is used to stop the rotation of the turntable when necessary. Working Principle: The driving device provides power, drives the turntable to rotate through the sprocket and chain. There are square bushings on the turntable, and the kelly is inserted into the square bushings. As the turntable rotates, the kelly drives the drill string and the drill bit to rotate together, thus achieving the purpose of breaking the rock. Application Scenarios: It is widely used in various types of onshore and offshore drilling platforms. It is a commonly used rotary component in traditional drilling equipment, especially showing good applicability in the drilling operations of some shallow and medium-deep wells. Ⅲ. Top Drive Device Structure: It is usually composed of a drilling rotary swivel, an electric motor, a gearbox, a main shaft, a balance system, etc. The swivel provides a passage for high-pressure drilling fluid for the drill string. The electric motor serves as the power source, and transmits the power to the main shaft through the gearbox, and the main shaft drives the drill string to rotate. The balance system is used to balance the weight of the top drive device and reduce the load on the derrick. Working Principle: The electric motor drives the gearbox, and the output shaft of the gearbox is connected to the main shaft, driving the main shaft to rotate, and then driving the drill string and the drill bit connected below the main shaft to rotate. At the same time, the drilling fluid enters the inside of the drill string through the swivel and is ejected from the drill bit, realizing the circulation and cuttings-carrying functions of the drilling fluid. Application Scenarios: It is widely used in the drilling operations of deep wells, ultra-deep wells and complex formations. It can improve the drilling efficiency and reduce the time for making up drill pipes. It is especially suitable for situations where frequent tripping of the drill string and control of complex wellbore trajectories are required. Ⅳ. Drill String Structure: It is mainly composed of drill pipes, drill collars, heavy-weight drill pipes, etc. The drill pipe is the main component of the drill string, usually made of high-strength steel pipes, and is used to connect the drill bit and the wellhead equipment, transmitting torque and drilling fluid. The drill collar is located at the lower part of the drill string, close to the drill bit. It has a relatively large weight and is used to apply the drilling pressure to the drill bit to ensure that the drill bit can effectively break the rock. The heavy-weight drill pipe is used between the drill pipe and the drill collar to adjust the weight and stiffness of the drill string.  Working Principle: In the rotary system, the drill string rotates with the rotation of the rotary table or the top drive, transmitting the torque from the wellhead to the drill bit, enabling the drill bit to cut the rock. At the same time, the inside of the drill string is the passage for the drilling fluid. The drilling fluid flows downward from the inside of the drill string under the action of the pump, and after being ejected from the drill bit, it carries the cuttings back to the wellhead. Application Scenarios: It is applicable to various drilling operation environments. Drill strings are indispensable for drilling operations from shallow wells to deep wells, and from onshore to offshore drilling platforms. Different well depths, formation conditions and drilling process requirements will require the selection of drill strings of different specifications and materials. Ⅴ. Drill Bit Structure: The structure varies according to different types. A common roller cone bit is composed of cones, legs, bearings, etc. There are teeth on the cones, and the rock is cut through the rolling of the cones and the breaking action of the teeth. The PDC bit uses diamond compact slices as cutting elements, which are fixed on the bit body. Working Principle: During the rotation of the roller cone bit, the cones roll and come into contact with the rock surface, and the teeth produce impact and extrusion effects on the rock, causing the rock to break. The PDC bit relies on the high hardness and wear resistance of the diamond compact slices to break the rock by cutting, and has a relatively high drilling efficiency. Application Scenarios: The roller cone bit is suitable for various hardness formations, especially performing well in hard formations and abrasive formations. The PDC bit has obvious advantages in soft to medium-hard formations and can achieve rapid drilling. Ⅵ. Control System of the Rotary System Structure: It includes an operation control console, sensors, a controller, etc. The operation control console is the interface for operators to control the rotary system. It is equipped with various buttons, knobs and a display screen, which are used to set parameters such as the rotation speed and torque. Sensors are distributed in various key parts of the rotary system, such as the electric motor, gearbox, drill string, etc., and are used to monitor the running status of the system in real time, such as the rotation speed, torque, temperature, etc. The controller precisely controls each component of the rotary system according to the settings of the operator and the information fed back by the sensors. Working Principle: The operator sets the working parameters of the rotary system through the operation control console. The controller, according to these set values and the actual operation data fed back by the sensors, adjusts the rotation speed of the electric motor, controls the start and stop of the braking device, etc., so that the rotary system operates in the set working state. For example, when the sensor detects that the torque of the drill string is too large, the controller will automatically reduce the rotation speed of the electric motor to prevent the drill string from being damaged due to overload. Application Scenarios: In various drilling operations, the control system plays a vital role. It can ensure the safe and efficient operation of the rotary system and adapt to different drilling process requirements and changes in formation conditions. Ⅶ. Common Faults and Solutions of the Rotary System of Drilling Equipment are as follows: Faults of the Rotary Table The rotary table rotates inflexibly or there is a jamming phenomenon Reasons: The main bearing of the rotary table is worn or damaged, resulting in an increase in the rotation resistance; the chain is too tight or the sprocket is worn, affecting the power transmission; there is foreign matter stuck between the turntable and the base; the clearance between the square bushing and the kelly is too small or the wear is uneven. Solutions: Check the main bearing, and replace it in time if it is worn or damaged; adjust the tightness of the chain, check the wear condition of the sprocket, and replace the sprocket if necessary; clean up the foreign matter between the turntable and the base; check the matching condition of the square bushing and the kelly, adjust the clearance or replace the worn parts. The rotary table leaks oil Reasons: The seals are aged or damaged, resulting in the leakage of lubricating oil; the oil pool level is too high, and the lubricating oil overflows from the seals; the oil pipe joint is loose or damaged, causing oil leakage. Solutions: Replace the aged or damaged seals; check the oil pool level and adjust it to an appropriate height; tighten the oil pipe joint, and replace the joint in time if it is damaged. Faults of the Top Drive Device Faults of the top drive motor Reasons: The motor is overloaded or overheated, resulting in the burnout of the motor winding; the motor bearing is damaged, causing the vibration and noise of the motor; there are faults in the electrical control system, such as contactor faults, line short circuits, etc., affecting the normal operation of the motor. Solutions: Check the load condition of the motor, avoid overload operation, and improve the heat dissipation conditions of the motor; replace the damaged motor bearing; check the electrical control system, and repair or replace the faulty contactors, lines and other components. The top drive swivel leaks water Reasons: The seals of the swivel are worn or aged, resulting in the leakage of the drilling fluid; the wash pipe is worn, affecting the sealing effect; the connection part between the central pipe and the gooseneck pipe is loose or the seal is damaged. Solutions: Replace the seals of the swivel; check the wear condition of the wash pipe and replace the wash pipe in time; tighten the connection part between the central pipe and the gooseneck pipe, and replace the seal if it is damaged. Faults of the Drill String Drill pipe fracture Reasons: The drill pipe is used for a long time, and the fatigue damage accumulates; the drill pipe is subjected to excessive torque, tension or bending force during the drilling process; there are defects in the drill pipe material or problems in the processing quality. Solutions: Regularly perform flaw detection on the drill pipe, and timely find and replace the drill pipes with fatigue damage; optimize the drilling parameters to avoid the drill pipe from bearing excessive loads; strictly control the purchase quality of the drill pipe and select high-quality drill pipes. Drill string sticking Reasons: The performance of the drilling fluid is not good, the filtration loss is large, and a thick mud cake is formed on the wellbore wall, resulting in an increase in the friction between the drill string and the mud cake; the wellbore trajectory is irregular, and there are places with a large dogleg severity, causing local stress concentration of the drill string; the drill string remains stationary for a long time, and adhesion occurs between the drill string and the wellbore wall. Solutions: Adjust the performance of the drilling fluid, reduce the filtration loss, and improve the quality of the mud cake; optimize the wellbore trajectory and reduce the dogleg severity; regularly move the drill string to avoid long-term stationary. Faults of the Drill Bit The drill bit wears too quickly Reasons: The drill bit is not properly selected and is not suitable for the current formation conditions; the drilling parameters are not reasonable, such as excessive drilling pressure and too high rotation speed; the performance of the drilling fluid is not good, and the lubrication and cooling effects on the drill bit are poor. Solutions: Select the appropriate drill bit type according to the formation lithology; optimize the drilling parameters and reasonably adjust the drilling pressure and rotation speed; improve the performance of the drilling fluid and enhance its lubrication and cooling effects. Drill bit balling Reasons: The viscosity and yield point of the drilling fluid are too high, the cuttings are not easy to be discharged, and they adhere to the drill bit; the water holes of the drill bit are blocked, the displacement of the drilling fluid is insufficient, and the drill bit cannot be effectively cleaned; the formation lithology is prone to water absorption and swelling, and a mud cake is formed and adheres to the drill bit. Solutions: Adjust the viscosity and yield point of the drilling fluid to improve its cuttings-carrying capacity; check the water holes of the drill bit, clean up the blockages, and ensure the normal displacement of the drilling fluid; for formations prone to water absorption and swelling, add anti-swelling agents and other treatment agents to improve the formation conditions.
