Mud and solids control
Shale Shakers and Screens
The first and most important stage of solids control.
Overview
Shale shakers remove drilled cuttings from the returning fluid by passing it over vibrating screens. Linear motion shakers convey cuttings off the screen while the fluid passes through, and adjustable deck angles let the crew balance fluid recovery against cuttings dryness.
Screen selection is a balance: finer mesh removes more solids but handles less flow and blinds sooner.
