History of shale shaker inoilfield solids control

The shale shaker, in various forms,has played prominent role in oilfield solids control schemes for severaldecades. Shakers have evolved from small, relatively simple devices capable ofrunning only the coarsest screens to the models of today. Modern,high-performance shakers of today are able to use 10 mesh and finer screens atthe flow-line in most applications.The unbalanced, elliptical motionmachines have a downward slope and shown in the diagram above, A. This slope isrequired to properly transport cuttings across the screen and off the dischargeend. However, the downward slope reduces fluid retention time and limits thecapacity of this design. Optimum screening with these types of shakers isusually in the 30-40 mesh (400-600 micron) range.

The next generation of machine, introduced into the oilfield in the late 1960sand early 1970s, produces a balanced or circular motion. The consistent,circular vibration allows adequate solids transport with the basket in a floathorizontal orientation, as shown in the diagram above, B. This design oftenincorporates multiple decks to split the solids load and to allow finer meshscreens, such as 80-100 square mesh (150-180 micron) screens.

The newest technology produces linear, or straight-line, motion, C in thediagram above. This motion is developed by a pair of eccentric shafts rotatingin opposite directions; linear motion provides superior cuttings conveyance andis able to operate at an uphill slope to provide improved liquid retention.Better conveyance and longer fluid retention allow the use of 200 square mesh(74 micron) screens.
