Measures To Drilling Noise Control

By Lucia Weeks


Living in a neighborhood full of trucks and rigs can be a hard time. Having to put up with too much light, foul smell, heavy trucks and traffic and most of all vibrations. These vibrations a times can be synonymous to tremors and accompanied by bangs louder than lightning. Noise for that matter is undoubtedly the most irritating and unbearable of all. There are however ways to which you could go about drilling noise control.

Drilling operations use heavy and sophisticated mechanical equipment. These equipment generate the dreaded noise. From top drive, shale shakers, cooling air systems, pipe handling, draw work, air and fluid power systems, metalwork, hammering, mud pumps, fork lifts and trucks. Just to mention. This could go on for nights, weeks even months. There are cases where such construction takes place even in the summer when all people want, is to relax.

The first method is on the nature of equipments you use during the process of drilling. There is a new range of equipment recommended for this.. This equipment do have a number of modifications specially done to mitigate this. They include insulated containers for sound in the generators, for the draw works, hydraulics and air compressors. For the pipe handling, an iron roughneck fitted can help in minimizing the commotion.

The next alternative is in the techniques used in the whole process is the new rig. This is an advanced single rig that is hydraulically operated. It stands 33 meters above and is completely covered in sound proof material including the revolving and motors that drive the pinions. The hydraulic power jacks inside the rig have been installed with heavy vibration dampening that reduces vibrations.

The nature of transport logistics used in the next option. The time to bring the machinery is also a factor to watch. It is better to move in late at night because the traffic is less. Trucks are known for being noisy in transporting. You could start by switching of the reverse beeps, insulate the steel gratings, compressors and silence the depressurizing vents.

The other option is the use of preventive sound walls. A time the rigs and the drills cannot be technically fitted in a manner that reduces their commotion. For that reason, the sound walls can be fitted round the rig. These walls should be 2 meters high and 10 meters long. The material used should be insulated and strong enough to withstand vibrations.

The other way to minimize the noise is to work with your crew in this. They are the ones using this equipment and for a fact they too can play a role in some way. Set peak limits and detectors towards this to guide them through. This will also in a way help you redirect traffic. They should avoid metal caused noise, shouting and whistling and running empty shakers.

Drilling as a whole is diverse. There are a number of choices you could use to reduce the commotion. Get to use the best option that works with your budget and activity.
