A Complete Overview of Drilling Mud pumps

What is drilling mud pump?

Mud pumps (also known as triplex mud pumps, drilling mud pumps, and drilling mud pumps) are essential equipment for any oil or gas well and are manufactured to API 7K specification.

A mud pump is a piston/reciprocating pump designed to circulate drilling fluid at high pressure (up to 7,500 psi or 52,000 kPa) up through the drill string and annulus.

Drilling mud pump consist of

The drilling mud pump is a horizontal triplex single-acting piston pump. The drilling mud pump consists of power end and fluid end.

Different types of drilling mud pumps

The mud pump is a tool that pumps mud or other drilling fluid needed for drilling from the fluid storage tank while drilling. And then the mud pump drives it down the well through pipes and drilling tools. The mud pump is the heart of the drilling equipment. The mud pump is an equipment of the circulation system. The mud pump is a large piece of equipment used to provide large displacement and high pressure operation.

1. Piston pump

It's a small pressure pump. Usually the shift is small. However, higher pressures are available. It is mainly used in the remote control room of well control equipment and is used to pressurize the accumulator.

2. Fracturing pumps

It is similar to drilling mud pumps. It is a special pump with large displacement and ultra-high pressure can be provided. Displacement can be adjusted freely. It is mainly used for down hole operations, such as formation pressure experiments, formation fracturing and other operations.

Generally speaking, the difference between them is that the displacement range and pressure range they can provide are not the same. Drilling mud pumps can provide large displacement, but the pressure generally does not exceed 35MPa. The plunger pump has a small displacement and can provide a maximum pressure of about 35MPa. Fracturing pump, large displacement, high pump pressure, the pressure can reach above 105MPa.

Drilling pumps also include centrifugal pumps, sand pumps, etc.

Mud pump uses 

A mud pump or drilling mud pump is used to circulate drilling mud on a drilling rig at high pressure.

Mud pump use in industries like petrochemicals and construction for different applications like oil and gas drilling rig, water bore drilling, horizontal directional drilling.

Mud Pump Spare Parts

Sino Mechanical offers a complete line of interchangeable mud pump parts and accessories for triplex mud pumps. All components are interchangeable to OEM's such as National, Emsco, Gardner Denver, Bomco, Ideco, and Oilwell.

1. Mud pump fluid end modules

The fluid end is where the actual pumping takes place. The components of the fluid end consist of valves, pistons (or plungers), and liners. Our modules and accessories are fully interchangeable with standard OEM modules from most major pump manufacturers and meet or exceed API-7K standards.

2. Mud pump piston

The piston assembly is one of the main parts of the hydraulic end system of the mud pump, and it is also one of the vulnerable parts of the drilling work. The discharge pressure of the mud pump is generated by the reciprocating linear movement of the piston assembly in the piston.

Sino Mechanical has Urethane Bonded Pistons, High Temperature Urethane Bonded Pistons, Rubber Bonded Pistons and Replaceable Rubber Pistons.

3. Mud pump liners

The liners are used as spare parts at mud pump from oil well, providing the operation in liner-piston-piston rod assembly.

Sino Mechanical has High Chrome Sleeve Liners and Ceramic Zirconia Liners.

4. Mud pump cross head
The crosshead is a key part of the mud pump. When the mud pump is working, the power end slides crosswise on the upper and lower guide plates. Then the push rod transmits the hydraulic power to the middle. The crosshead is fixed to one end of the middle lever. Connect to the small end of the connecting rod through a cross head pin in the cavity. The material is ductile iron with a tensile strength greater than 600MPa. It can ensure high strength and wear resistance.

The mud pump transfers power to the fluid end through the cross head assembly when it works.

Mud pump cross head is manufactured from high quality, cast steel and the guides are manufactured from a quality manganese bronze normally used in bearings.

5. Mud pump pinion shaft

Pinion shafts are made from similar material to the crankshaft and with a high precision double helical gear, with less back lash than any of our competitors.

6. Mud pump crankshaft

The crankshaft is manufactured from a modified 4340 material with high nickel content to reduce crack initiation and propagation.

7. Pressure relief valves

Pressure relief valves are installed on mud pumps in order to prevent an overpressure which could result in a serious damage of the pump and serious or fatal injury to personnel.

Pressure relief valves are designed to provide protection from over-pressure in steam, gas, air, and liquid lines.

8. Mud Pump Pulsation Dampener

Mud Pump Pulsation Dampener is a pneumatic device built into the outflow line of each mud pump to dampen the pressure fluctuations resulting from the action of the pump.

Mud Pump Pulsation Dampener can reduce the fluctuation of pressure, balance the peak pressure., increased water horsepower and reduce the lost circulation.

We offer a wide range of spherical pulsation dampeners for drilling operations. They are available from 1 gallon to 20 gallon capacities and in pressure ranges from 250 psi to 7500 psi. The body of our spherical pulsation dampeners is manufactured from a one piece steel forging, thereby eliminating the possibility of weld fatigue failure. The one piece spherical design allows for high efficiency in a small volume and does not require addition structural support.

9. Mud Pump Piston Rods & Clamps

Piston rod is main parts of oil drilling rig mud pumps. The large end of the piston rod is connected to the power end of the mud pump through the clamp to transmit power. The small end is mounted with a mud pump piston, and then generate pressure through reciprocating motion in mud pump liner.

10. Mud Pump Valve & Seat

Our full-open valves and seats are designed for use in drilling mud pumps. 

Mud Pump Valve & Seat are made of premium alloy steel through one-piece forging and carburizing treatment processes, thereby ensuring high intensity.

The service life of valve body and seat are 4-5 times more than ordinary ones, which improves the working efficiency and decrease the cost and working strength.

Sino Mechanical has Full Open Valves & Seats, Four Web Valves & Seats and Three Web Valves & Seats.

11. Mud Pump Pressure Gauge

The mud pump pressure gauge is a specialized gauge for mud pumps. It is mainly used for the petroleum, coal, chemical industry, drilling industries.

Our Mud Pressure Gauges and systems are engineered to monitor the pump pressure for a variety of pumps and applications to ensure that you are getting the most out of your drilling fluids.

FAQ

Which pump used in drilling?

Mud pumps serve as the heart of the mud circulating system. Reciprocating piston pumps (also called slush pumps or power pumps) are widely used for drilling oil and gas wells.

What kind of pump is used for circulating mud?

A mud pump or drilling mud pump is used to circulate drilling mud on a drilling rig at high pressure. The mud is circulated down through the drill string, and back through the annulus at high pressures. Mud pumps are typically positive displacement pumps, otherwise known as reciprocating pumps.

What is the efficiency of a drilling mud pump?

This efficiency is usually expressed as a percentage, and ranges from about 92% to 99% for most modern rig pumps and cement pumps.

What is the flow rate of a mud pump?

For mud pumps pressures are very high, from 5,000 to 7,500 psi, and mud flow rates vary from 100 to 1,300 gallons/minute.
