High G-force Shale Shaker Is Essential in Drilling Fluids Solids Control System

Nov 26, 2013

Shale shaker is the first treating equipment in solids control system. It is mainly used to remove the drilling cuttings that return to the ground from wellhead, so as to meet the basic requirements of the next equipment in the oil drilling.

The shale shaker, in various forms, has played a prominent role in oilfield solids control schemes for several decades. Shakers have evolved from small, relatively simple devices capable of running only the coarsest screens to the models of today. Modern, high-performance shakers of today are able to use 10-mesh and finer screens at the flow-line in most applications.

Shale shakers separate solids from liquids by utilizing a vibrating basket, which is outfitted with specially designed and sized screens. Shakers are considered the most important tool for removing drilled solids. These units remove the majority of drilled solids generated during the typical drilling process. Shale shakers typically generate between five to over eight G-forces of energy for removing solids from the solids control system.

High G-force in a shaker is essential to convey the amount of cuttings generated while drilling a bore hole, to properly dewater drill cuttings, to reclaim expensive drilling fluids, and to minimize drilling fluid waste.

While drilling top-hole sections, where heavy, high-volume cuttings are typically encountered, shakers need to generate high G-force to effectively convey dense solids. KOSUN Linear Motion Vibrator Motors are designed to give the operator the ability to adjust the G-force of the shaker to perform under high solids loading conditions and when managing reactive, sticky, or fine solids. As conditions change in drilling fluids, the G-force of KOSUN Shakers can be adjusted with the simple twist of the wrist at the control panel, therefore changing the cuttings conveyance velocity. This can be done without shutting down the shaker and adjusting the weight settings on the vibrator motors saving time and cost on the work site.
