Jet Shearing Device System: The Ultimate Solution for High-Efficiency Drilling Mud Mixing

Introduction to Jet Shearing Device System

The Jet Shearing Device System is a high-performance solution designed to optimize drilling mud preparation by delivering rapid polymer hydration, uniform additive dispersion, and consistent fluid properties. Developed by Petropath Fluids Ltd, this advanced system is engineered for both field and laboratory applications, ensuring superior drilling fluid quality while reducing mixing time and operational energy costs.
Unlike traditional mechanical mixers, the Jet Shearing Device System utilizes a low-pressure, high-volume jet shearing principle that eliminates moving parts and delivers instant, reliable results. This makes it an essential component in modern oilfield fluid management systems where efficiency, consistency, and durability are critical.
Jet Shearing Device System
A Jet Shearing Device System is a specialized drilling mud mixing system used to shear and hydrate polymers, bentonite, and other drilling additives efficiently. It integrates seamlessly with a hopper and mixing tank to produce lump-free, homogeneous drilling fluids.
By using venturi-based and Technoflo jet technology, this oilfield mud mixing device ensures smooth dispersion of dry and liquid additives, preventing common mixing issues such as polymer clumping and uneven viscosity.

2. How the Jet Shearing Device System Works

The Jet Shearing Device System operates by passing drilling fluid through a high-velocity nozzle that generates intense turbulence. This turbulence creates powerful shearing forces that:

  • Break long-chain polymers such as PAC, CMC, and PHPA

  • Ensure uniform mixing of dry and liquid additives

  • Accelerate polymer hydration

  • Prevent “fish eyes” and undissolved lumps

  • Maintain consistent drilling mud rheology

Because this drilling fluid shearing mixer has no rotating or moving parts, it offers exceptional reliability and requires minimal maintenance even in harsh field environments.

3. Key Advantages of Jet Shearing Device System

The Jet Shearing Device System delivers multiple operational and economic benefits:

✅ Instant polymer hydration and effective shearing
✅ Improves drilling mud quality and performance
✅ Eliminates settling, lumps, and poor dispersion
✅ Works efficiently with hoppers and mixing tanks
✅ Compact, skid-mounted, and energy-efficient design
✅ No mechanical agitators or rotating components
✅ Significantly reduces mixing time and chemical wastage

By adopting this polymer shearing equipment, operators achieve faster mud preparation and better control over fluid properties.

4. Applications of Jet Shearing Device System

The Jet Shearing Device System is widely used across oilfield and laboratory operations, including:

  • Drilling mud preparation for oil and gas wells

  • Polymer shearing and hydration (PHPA, PAC, CMC)

  • Bentonite dispersion and solids suspension

  • Water-based drilling fluid systems

  • Field and laboratory drilling fluid testing

This drilling mud mixing system is ideal for any operation requiring reliable, repeatable, and high-efficiency shearing performance.
