Shale shakers are the primary solids separation tool on a rig. After returning to the surface of the well the used drilling fluid flows directly to the shale shakers where it begins to be processed.

2022年3月16日 · The shale shaker is the primary solids removal device in muds containing solid weighting agents (Check WBM Additives – OBM Additives) such as barite (barite in drilling). It is usually relied upon to remove all drilled cuttings coarser than the weighting material.

Shale shakers are important components integral to the drilling process and represent the first phase of solids control in drilling industries such as coal cleaning, mining, and oil and gas production.

2022年3月16日 · Shale shakers are classified in part of the vibration pattern made by the shaker basket location over a vibration cycle (e.g. linear motion shakers). The pattern will depend on the placement and orientation of the vibrators.

2020年12月31日 · Shale shaker is the first phase of a solids control system on a drilling rig, and are used to remove large solids (cuttings) from the drilling fluid (“mud”). Shaker screen selection has the largest impact on the overall performance of the shale shaker.

A standard scalping shaker performs adequately for small rigs operating at shallow depths with low solids native drilling fluid, however, fine screen shale shakers are generally more efficient and remove more drilled solids.

At its core, a shale shaker is a vibrating screen mechanism that processes the fluid coming from the well. Equipped with shale shaker screens, it allows smaller particles and clean drilling fluid to pass through its mesh screens while filtering out the larger particles that must be disposed of.

2021年4月9日 · Shale shakers are the primary solids separation tool on a rig. After returning to the surface of the well the used drilling fluid flows directly to the shale shakers where it begins to be processed.

Pairing the right shaker with high-performance screens can have a dramatic impact on solids control performance. Our unique line of BaraMesh® shaker screens can be customized to fit virtually any shaker on the market and can provide improved flow rates, superior solids removal, and longer screen life.

The primary and probably most important device on the rig for removing drilled solids from the mud. This vibrating sieve is simple in concept, but a bit more complicated to use efficiently. A wire-cloth screen vibrates while the drilling fluid flows on top of it.
