Shale Shaker Functions in Solids Control System

Shale shaker is the 1st stage separation equipment for oilfield solids control system. It adopts vibrating motor to generate vibrating force. The vibrating force drives the drilling fluid with cuttings pass through the shale shaker. When the drilling fluid goes through the shale shaker screen, clean mud will be filtered and goes into mud tank. Non-allowable bigger solids will pass the screen surface and be discharged to cuttings pot.

There are mainly two types of shale shaker applied in solids control system for drilling cuttings separation.
A. Balanced elliptical motion shale shaker. It is not recommended for oil and gas drilling since the flow capacity is big. If the mud flow is not equal, the motion of shaker will be changed. And performance will not be good. Mostly, professional users prefer linear motion for wide application.

B. Linear motion shale shaker. This is the most common shaker type for oil and gas drilling solids control system.
The drilling cuttings separation size of shale shaker depends on shale shaker screen size. We name it API size or mesh size. The API defers from API 20 to API 325 per API RP13 standard. By changing different shale shaker screen mesh size, the shale shaker can separate solids from min. above 40μm (with API 325 shaker screen). The common shale shaker size is API60, API80, API100, API140, API160. Customer can choose the proper screen size according to drilling fluid condition.

What are the Special Functions of KOSUN shale shaker in drilling cuttings separation?

KOSUN shale shaker has AWD angle adjustment system, which is a patented design. It is synchronized change for both sides. You can adjust from any side, the angle change is the same for both sides.

KOSUN has options for AWD angle adjustment: left side of the drilling shale shaker is a small motor for automatic control. There is control for the small motor on shale shaker control panel. While the shale shaker right side uses tools for angle adjustment. KOSUN offers tools together with the shale shaker. User can choose any way to change the angle.

Drilling Cuttings & Drilling Waste Separation Development

Drilling waste separation from the mud at the sedimentary rock shakers is also coated with such a lot mud that   square measure|they're unsuitable for the  drilling fluid recycle or disposal step or are tough to handle or transport. Constituents of the drilling cuttings or the mud coating them, like oil or metals, could leach from the drilling waste, creating them unsuitable for land application or burial needs. forms of materials will be other to drilling cuttings to solidify and stabilize them.  Solidification could be a technology that encapsulate the drilling waste  in an exceedingly monolithic solid of high structural integrity. The encapsulation is also of fine drilling waste particles or of an outsized block orinstrumentality  of drilling cuttings .  Solidification doesn't essentially invol...

Drill Cuttings Disposal Management

Drill cuttings disposal is a hot topic these years with global attention to environmental protection, especially in O il & gas industry. D rill cuttings  disposal into environment without any treatment is strictly forbidden. So before disposal, a series methods must be introduced to treat the cuttings and make it reach to disposal standard. Drill cuttings are produced as the rock is broken by the drill bit advancing through the rock or soil; the cuttings are usually carried to the surface by  drilling fluid  circulating up from the drill bit   by  rotary ,  percussion , or auger methods. The drill cuttings are commonly examined to make a record (a  well log ) of the subsurface materials penetrated at various depths. In the oil industry, this is often called a  mud log .   One drilling method that does not produce drill cuttings is  core drilling , which instead produces solid cylinders of rock or soil.   In cable-tool ...

Screens Types Selection and Usage in Shale Shakers

S olids control equipment s hale shakers typically co mposed  of wire mesh  shaker screens  in  kinds of  mesh sizes that vibrate the drill waste  across and off the shaker screens as the drilling fluid or drilling mud flows through shaker screen s   in the solids control system and back into mud system.  Usually there are  three types of shaker screens for different shale shakers, including  PWP screen, PMD screen, and hook strip screen. PMD scree is Derrick ’ s patented products for Derrick 2000 series and Derrick 500 series shale shakers. While hook strip screens  and PWP screens are w idespread a pplication to  world famous shale shakers like brand Derrick, Brandt , M-I SWACO, and KOSUN. The steel frame shaker screen  is the most commonly shaker screens composed of steel frame and two or three  layers SS304  cloth.   Frame shaker screen  is commonly used ...
