Shale Shakers: Essential Drilling Equipment

Shale shakers are integral components of drilling rigs, used across various industries, including coal cleaning, mining, and oil and gas drilling. They represent the initial phase in a solids control system and are tasked with removing significant solids from the drilling fluid (often referred to as "mud").

Drilling fluids perform multiple roles, such as lubricating and cooling the drill bit and transporting drilled cuttings away from the borehole. These fluids are formulated from a blend of various chemicals in water or oil bases, making them costly. To minimize expenses and for environmental considerations, it is crucial to salvage as much fluid as possible from drilled cuttings before disposal. This is facilitated through a variety of specialized machinery and containment tanks.

Shale shakers serve as the primary instruments for separating solids on a drilling rig. Upon surfacing, the used drilling fluid is funneled to the shale shakers for initial processing. Post-processing, the fluid is transferred to mud tanks where subsequent solid control devices further eliminate fine solids. Solids extracted by the shale shaker are collected in a separate holding tank for subsequent treatment or disposal.

The efficiency of the entire solids control system hinges significantly on the performance of shale shakers. Effective shakers enable the cleaner treatment of drilling fluids, directly impacting the performance of subsequent equipment.

Mudloggers routinely inspect shale shakers for rock samples circulated from the drilling bottom. These samples are separated from the drilling fluid and analyzed in an on-site lab for geological assessments, such as rock type identification at specific depths, aiding in evaluating the drilling depth.

Components and Structure of Shale Shakers

Shale shakers are composed of several critical parts:

• Hopper - Known as the "base," the hopper serves as a support platform and a collection pan for processed fluid (often termed "underflow"). Customizable in depth and port configurations, it matches the needs of drilling fluid systems.
• Feeder - Collects drilling fluid before it reaches the shaker for processing. The weir feeder type ensures uniform distribution across the shaker's screening area, optimizing the screening deck's utility.
• Screen Basket - Often termed the screen "bed," it is pivotal for evenly distributing shaking intensity and supporting screen security against drilled solids. Methodologies for screen tensioning and basket reinforcement vary among manufacturers.
• Basket angling mechanism - This adjusts the shaker basket's angle to accommodate varying drilling fluid flow rates and optimize the pool-to-beach ratio (typically maintained at 80:20). Mechanisms range from hydraulic to mechanical, varying in their operation speed and maintenance needs.
• Vibrator - Provides the vibratory force and motion type through a specialized motor with eccentric weights, ensuring effective linear motion and high G-force shaking. Some designs include a third motor to modify elliptical motion for handling sticky solids.

Shaker Screen Panels

Shaker screens consist of these parts:

• Screen Frame - Supports the screen, available in materials like steel tubing or plastic composites. Frames aim to reduce panel quantity while ensuring screen rigidity and maximum non-blanked screening area.
• Screen Mesh - Woven from metal wire, screen mesh is designed to balance durability and conductance, often constructed with multiple mesh layers for protection and de-blinding.
• Binding Agent - Securely adheres the mesh to the frame, handling high heat, vibrations, abrasions, and corrosive fluids. Plastic composite screens melt the mesh into the frame.
• Modular Screen Technology - Divides the screen surface into modular panels, enabling partial repairs and reduced waste.
• Pyramid Screen Technology - Increases screen surface area without enlarging machines, enhancing wear distribution and particle settling within the screen's valleys.

Screen performance varies, necessitating comparative trials to gauge effectiveness.

Causes of Screen Failure

Common causes include:

• Improper storage and handling
• Incorrect shaker screen installation
• Over/under tensioning
• Dirty or worn deck rubbers
• Improper cleaning
• High mud weight and solids loading
• Defective screen manufacturing
• High-pressure wash guns misuse

API Standards

API Standard Screen Identification includes:

• API Number: Sieve equivalent per API RP 13C
• Conductance: Liquid flow ease, with larger values indicating higher handling volume
• Microns: Length unit equivalent to one-thousandth of a millimeter
• Non-blanked Area: Surface area available for liquid transmission
