Oct 28, 2013

On Oct 17th, the ship loaded with KOSUN ZJ40DB Polar Rig Low-temperature Solids Control System left the harbour for Russia. The system will couple DS250 Mobile Orbit Rig produced by Italian WEI Company. The deal on KOSUN ZJ40DB Polar Rig Low-temperature Solids Control System is the second made with KOSUN after this Russian customer purchased its solids control system in 2007.

KOSUN has finished with all the production and assembly of equipment in early August since they settled the order and has passed the inspection from customers at the end of August.

On Oct 10th, the Logistics and Document Department took a rapid move to organize and communicate with delivery crew about loading equipment on truck after they received delivery notice. By Oct 13th, all the equipment were assembled and ready for delivery to harbour on Oct 15th. KOSUN’s rapid and safe assembly won high commendation from Russian customers.
 

Arctic Solids Control System
 

ZJ40DB Polar Rig Low-temperature Solids Control System contains 5 mud tanks, one water tank, two diesel tanks and one MCC system. It can perform group drilling in 10 wells. NO.1 tank is set on rails with its end connected to oil cylinder which pulls NO.1 tank along the rails across wells every 5 meters for 50 meters. Besides, connecting pipes are also added between NO.1 and No.2 tank when the former travels in order to ensure the safety of system. No.1 tank features in host materials welded by Q345D low alloy steel so that it has large strength and resists low temperature well.

What is more, this set of system is also coupled with polar heating system to include the whole system, its relative cable tanks and exposed steam pipelines under thermo shelf as drilling processes since Russia Siberia Luktoil Oilfield Block is located in polar region. It is also matched with polar steam heating system putting 2 steaming warmers atop each tank to collaborate with heating system to ensure a normal operation of the system under the terrible polar -45℃ condition in regions like Russia Siberia.

The takeover between KOSUN and Russia’s second largest drilling company--Luktoil Oil Corp. of ZJ40DB Polar Rig Low-temperature Solids Control System continued the success of the deal with Gazprom on solids control system and its successful completion and delivery. Meanwhile, the two companies have appointed KOSUN as the only solids control equipment supplier in China. This means KOSUN’s business in Russian market has already entered the mature phase.
