Drilling Shaker
Drilling shaker also known as shale shakers, are key pieces of equipment used in the drilling industry. Its main function is to separate the drilled cuttings from the drilling fluid, ensuring that the drilling fluid is clean and properly circulated for efficient drilling operations.
Function and principle of Drilling Shaker
The working principle of drilling shaker is vibration and shaker screen. As the drilling fluid returns from the wellbore, it is directed to the shaker. The vibrating screen then vibrates to pass fluid and cuttings through the screen. Smaller cuttings pass through the sieve, while larger cuttings are retained and removed.
Vibration is generated by an electric or hydraulic motor driving an eccentric weight or vibrating mechanism. The amplitude and frequency of vibration can be adjusted to optimize the separation process for different drilling conditions and cuttings types.
Type of Drilling Shaker
Linear motion shaker: This type of shaker has linear vibration motion and is commonly used in onshore drilling operations. It provides high capacity and efficient cuttings separation.
Elliptical motion shaker: Elliptical motion shaker combines linear and circular motion to provide a gentler and more efficient separation. It is suitable for both onshore and offshore drilling.
Balanced elliptical motion shaker: This advanced type of shaker offers better balance and reduced vibration transmission, resulting in longer equipment life and better performance.
Drilling Shaker Application Program
Oil and Gas Drilling: Drilling shakers are essential in oil and gas drilling operations to separate cuttings from drilling fluids and maintain the integrity of the drilling process.
Geothermal drilling: In geothermal drilling, drilling shakers help remove cuttings, keep drilling fluid circulating, and ensure efficient heat extraction.
Mining drilling: Drilling shakers are used in mining operations to separate cuttings from drilling fluids and improve drilling efficiency.
Water well drilling: In water well drilling, drilling shakers are used to remove soil and sediment from drilling fluids, ensuring a clean water supply.
Drilling shaker is an essential tool in the drilling industry. It effectively and reliably separates cuttings from drilling fluids and is a key component in ensuring successful drilling operations.
