In the past, people called a mud tank a mud pit because it used to be just a pit dug out of the earth. it's used to hold drilling mud.

A mud tank is an open-top container, typically made of square steel tube and steel plate, to store drilling fluid on a drilling rig.

Mud tanks are constructed from weld-up steel plates and tubes. the bottom of the tank can either be square or cone-shaped. A tank can have several compartments. A mud tank is an open-top container that is made of square-shaped steel tubes and plates with a cone-shaped bottom.

For safety reasons, a catwalk with guard rails may be installed at the top of the container. this allows workers to inspect the drilling fluids without the danger of falling into them.

Parameters of drilling mud tank

Mud tank systems are a critical component of any drilling operation for maximizing solids control efficiency and effectiveness.

Solids control system drilling mud tanks features

Active and reserve mud tank

A mud tank is classified as either active or reserve. You can find many tanks in one oil rig. While the rig doesn't use all the tanks at once, it does use several.

An active tank holds the mud that circulates during drilling. The number of active tanks depends on the volume of mud required to keep the hole full. It's also vital that the amount of mud is sufficient for proper circulation.

An active tank can have different compartments with different roles. for example, the suction tank is where the pump picks up the mud that is used for the hole. the active tank can also have a chemical tank for mixing different chemicals and additives.

The reserve mud tank is not a part of the drilling process, but it has some critical functions. it can store excess mud and sometimes heavy mud for emergencies.

In the mud tanks, no matter for reserve or process tank there are mud agitators to make sure the proper drilling fluid property. For almost solids control system, the agitator will be the lateral type and every set agitator will be fit with the control panel. Besides mud agitators, the mud guns are another mixer to maintain drilling mud quality.

Mud tanks include the process tank, active tank, reserve tank, mixing tank, trip tank, pill tank. Between tanks, there are many different connections and lines. Such as the suction line, the discharge line, the drain port, the cleaning gate, and so on.
