Mud Circulation Optimization for Water Well Drilling Rig

In water well drilling rig operations, optimizing mud circulation boosts bit efficiency greatly.

 

  1. For pure clay, use low-solids mud (under 3% solids) to reduce bit adhesion.
  2. Match pump capacity to bit’s debris removal—keep at 20-30m³/h for timely cuttings transport.
  3. Install desilters and shakers to remove particles over 0.074mm, maintaining flow.

Add small PAM in clay-sand layers to enhance sand carrying. Monitor viscosity; water well drilling rigs perform better with fine circulation control.
