Shale Shaker Screens Types and Application

Shale shakers typically consist of wire mesh shaker screens in various mesh sizes that shake or vibrate the drill cuttings which across and off the shaker screens as the drilling fluid or drilling mud flows through shaker screens and back into the drilling mud system.

There are mainly three types of shaker screens for different types of shale shakers, like PWP screen, PMD screen, and hook strip screen. PMD screens are Derrick’s patented products for Derrick 2000 series and Derrick 500 series shale shakers. While PWP and hook strip screens are widely used for world famous shale shakers like brand M-I SWACO, Derrick, Brandt and KOSUN.

Hook strip screens is a common kind of shale shakers screen, which can be widely used in different conditions in drilling operation. This screen is constructed with two or three layers of stainless steel wire cloths bonded to a steel support plank. KOSUN can supply hook strip flat panel screens with the mesh sizes ranging from 12 to 275.

The steel frame shaker screens are the most commonly used shaker screens composed of steel frame and two or three layers of screen cloth. Frame shaker screen is commonly used on shale shakers for its simple process craft and easy and quick replacement. There are two kinds of frame according to the frame material, steel frame and composite frame. Steel frame is made of high strength square steel or flat steel with reinforced support bars. The screen cloth can be joined to the frame by metal liner or directly bonded to the frame.The composite frame is made of high strength composite such as plastic, fibers, carbon and so on. There are lots of types of frame shaker screens made by different manufacturers like Brandt, M-I SWACO, Derrick and KOSUN.

KOSUN, founded in 1992, is integrating R&D, design, manufacture and sales of solids control and drilling waste management system and equipment for oil & gas industry with many years overseas service experience. Our products now also extend to HDD & TBM slurry treatment for infrastructure and oil sludge treatment for petroleum refining industry. With more than 25 years history and over 50 countries clients all over the world, KOSUN has gained great reputation with its high quality and exclusive services.

Mono Screw Pump Working Principle and Apllication

M ono screw pump , also called sewage pump or progressive cavity pump , belongs to the rotor type positive displacement pump . M ono screw pump is depend ing on the screw meshing with liner on the discharge and suction cavity to conveying liquid volume change. It is a kind of method of pressurized screw pump, a main working parts by bushing has a double helix cavity (stator) and the stator cavity and its meshing singlehead screw screw (rotor). When the input shaft through the universal joint drive making planets revolving around the center of the stator, rotor stator, rotor, vice is continuous mesh form sealed cavity, the seal chamber volume invariably uniform axial movement, the medium from the suction end of deputy to the stator, rotor pressure side, the suction medium sealed cavity through the stator without stirring and destruction. M ono screw pump is an ideal pump used to feed drilling fluids to decanter centrifuge. Since mud is evenly pushed to pro

Water Based Mud Drilling Cuttings Management

In geotechnical engineering , drilling fluid is used to aid the drilling of boreholes into the earth , o ften used while drilling oil and natural gas wells and on exploration drilling rigs , and also for much simpler boreholes like water wells . Liquid drilling fluid is often called drilling mud. The three main categories of drilling fluids are water-based mud (which can be dispersed and non-dispersed), non-aqueous mud, usually called oil-based mud, and gaseous drilling fluid, in which a wide range of gases can be used. The main functions of drilling fluids include : providing hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering into the well bore, keeping the drill bit cool and clean during drilling, carrying out drill cuttings, and suspending the drill cuttings while drilling is paused and when the drilling assembly is brought in and out of the hole. The drilling fluid used for a particular job is selected to avoid formation damage and to limi

Oil Based Mud Drilling Cuttings Treating Solutions

Drilling cuttings treating solutions will depend on the drilling mud characteristics. Oil-based mud is a mud where the base fluid is a petroleum product such as diesel fuel , kerosene, fuel oil, selected crude oil or mineral oil. For OBM ’ s complexity, the drilling cuttings treating solutions will have more strict demands on the processing equipment. Oil-based mud are used for many reasons, including increased lubricity, enhanced shale inhibition, and greater cleaning abilities with less viscosity. Oil-based mud also withstand greater heat without breaking down. The use of oil-based mud has special considerations, including cost, environmental considerations such as disposal of cuttings in an appropriate place, and the exploratory disadvantages of using oil-based mud, especially in wildcat wells. Using an oil-based mud interferes with the geochemical analysis of cuttings and cores and with the determination of API gravity because the base fluid cannot be distin
