An oil field shale shaker is a vital piece of equipment used in the oil and gas industry during the drilling process. It is a vibrating shaker screen that helps separate drilling cuttings, solids, and other debris from drilling fluids or mud. The shale shaker plays a crucial role in maintaining the drilling fluid’s properties and removing unwanted solids to ensure efficient and safe drilling operations.

The efficiency of an oil field shale shaker depends on several factors, including the shaker screen mesh size, vibration intensity, and the characteristics of the drilling fluid. Proper selection and maintenance of the shaker screens are crucial for achieving effective solids control and maximizing drilling fluid performance.

Overall, the shale shaker is an essential component of the drilling process in the oil and gas industry, helping to remove solids and maintain the quality of drilling fluids, which is vital for efficient and safe drilling operations.

Oil field shaker screens must be stocked indoors for several reasons. Firstly, storing them indoors protects them from exposure to harsh weather conditions such as rain, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight, which can deteriorate the screens and reduce their effectiveness.

Secondly, indoor storage helps prevent contamination of the screens. Oil field operations involve various types of drilling fluids and chemicals, which can potentially damage the screens if they come into contact with them. Storing the screens indoors minimizes the risk of contamination and ensures their integrity.

Thirdly, indoor storage provides a controlled environment that helps maintain the quality and performance of the screens. Factors such as humidity, dust, and airborne particles can negatively impact the screens’ efficiency and lifespan. By keeping them indoors, these factors can be better regulated, prolonging the screens’ usability and effectiveness.

Overall, storing oil field shaker screens indoors is essential to preserve their quality, protect them from damage, and ensure optimal performance during oil field operations.

The selection of Drilling mud solids control equipment

BY admin 17 June 2023 Decanter Centrifuge, Drilling equipments Company, Drilling Fluids shale shaker, Drilling mud system

The traditional drilling mud solids control equipment includes shale shaker, mud cleaner, desander, desilter, decanter centrifuge, etc…Each of them has a certain cut point (separation point). They are selected and used based on their cut point.

Solids control shale shaker is the basic and pre-separation equipment of drilling mud system. Its cut point is up to the screen opening utilizing on the unit. In order to make sure the accurate and correct separation result, API RP13 complied screens are requested to used in the drilling mud shale shaker. It means all API RP13C screens with the same API size from various screens manufacturers are all interchangeable. They can all reach the same cut point.

But for various screen suppliers, their screen quality and the mud flow rate varies based on the materials and the designations. There are API screens with sizes from PI 10 to API 325, the cut points is from 2mm to 40 microns. The finer the API size, the less the mud flow rate.

Screen shale shaker is the D100 separator. It means 100% particles above the cut point will be removed.

10 inch hydro cyclones are the post popular used in oil and gas drilling for desander. It is also called as desander cone. Its separation point is 47 microns. In some cases, 12 inch hydro cyclones are used for bigger mud handling capacity.

4 inch hydro cyclones are the post popular used in oil and gas drilling for desilter. It is also called as desilter cone. Its separation point is 25 microns. In some cases, 5 inch hydro cyclones are used for bigger mud handling capacity. The smaller size 2inch desilter cone were used in some special drilling waste management situations.

Hydro cyclones are not D100 separator. Hence the underflow shale shaker is suggested to used under the hydro cyclones to further clean the solids discharge from them.

Decanter centrifuge is a high standard and precision separator. Its cut point can up to 2 ~ 5 microns. It is used to reduce the mud weight.
