Introduction to Mud shale shaker - Important Solids Control Equipment for Drilling Fluid
Time: 2024-04-28 Source: Author:
Mud shale shaker is suitable for drilling fluid solid control system of oil and gas drilling.The Shale Shake is the primary solids control equipment in the drilling fluid treatment system. It is also called the key solids control equipment in the drilling mud system. The Shale Shake determines the performance of the entire solids control system.
Shale shakers are machines used in oil and gas drilling operations to separate drill cuttings from the drilling fluid.They are the first line of defense in the solids control process on a drilling rig, and are used to remove large solids from the drilling fluid that is circulated down the drill string.
The role of Shale shakers
Shale shakers work by vibrating the drilling fluid as it passes through a screen or other filter medium. The vibration of the drilling fluid causes the larger particles, such as drill cuttings, to separate from the fluid and fall through the screen. The fluid, which is now free of large solids, is then circulated back down the drill string.
The shale shaker separates the cuttings from the drilling fluid by running it through a Shale Shake, The process helps to protect downstream equipment, such as centrifuges, desanders, and desilters, by preventing them from being overwhelmed by large solids.allowing the fluid to be pumped back into the well and reused. In addition to saving money, reusing drilling fluid means it doesn't have to be disposed of, reducing regulatory and compliance costs.
The structure of Mud Shale Shaker
The Mud Shale Shaker consists of a Shale Shake and a screen, which use force to push the filtered mud to the mud tank. During operation, the inclination of the screen is proportional to the flow rate of the mud.
Mud Shale Shaker is a high-intensity vibration device. In the first stage of mud separation, they use electric motors to generate vibrations. Acting as a screen, the vibrating action pushes the drilling mud through the wire cloth screen. Drilling mud filtered through the Shale Shaker is moved into mud tanks for additional processing if necessary. Larger solids pass through the screen surface and are discharged for later collection and disposal.
Effect of Shale Shaker mesh performance on Shale Shaker:
1、Separation performance (size of solids removed)
2、Liquid throughput performance (screen's ability to transport liquid)
3、Service life
Mud Shale Shaker type
Linear motion shale vibration：The most common solid equipment found in the oil and gas drilling industry, they generate linear motion through a pair of eccentric shafts that rotate in opposite directions. The linear motion provides superior cutting delivery capabilities and the ability to run uphill to provide better liquid retention.
Balanced elliptical motion Shale Shaker：Elliptical motion shakers effectively remove solids and eliminate larger particles from drilling fluids. The relatively moderate vibration intensity of the balanced elliptical shale vibration table can reduce screen consumption.
Circular motion shaking table：The circular motion transports solids along the screen, reducing drilling fluid losses. Circular motion shale shakers usually operate as stacked units, with the coarsest screen on the top layer becoming finer on the lower deck.
Application prospects of mud Shale Shaker
The vast majority of Shale Shake are used in oil exploration and production, but they are also used in other industries, such as mining, HDD and other industries that rely on screening equipment.
In recent years, the linear vibration and fine screening capabilities of Shale Shaker have become increasingly popular among coal mines and precious metal mining companies. In addition, chemical, paper, sand, powder, plastic and other industries can use Shale Shake in their processes.
