Summary: Function—Control of Solids Content in Drilling Fluid. An increase in the solids content of drilling fluid can significantly reduce mechanical rate of penetration and may even lead to drilling accidents, resulting in a substantial rise in overall drilling costs. Test results demonstrate that for every 1% reduction in solids content, the rate of penetration can improve by at least 10%, with smaller particle sizes having a more pronounced impact on mechanical rate of penetration. Therefore, the drilling fluid circulation system must be equipped with a drilling fluid cleaning unit.
