A mud gas separator, also known as a poorboy degasser or oilfield gas buster, is a critical component of drilling operations in the oil and

Solids control is a constant problem, every day on every well. Generally, we can define solids control as controlling the quantity and quality of undesired
The importance of solid control equipment is its ability to save costs of dumping drilling fluids due to the existence of unwanted solids inside. As
The use of screens (Shaker Screen) to remove drilled solids from mud uses only one characteristic of solids particles -their size. Solids control devices that
The mud cleaner has a battery of 101.6 mm (4″) desilters mounted over a fine screen shaker. The original reason for its introduction was to
Desanders and desilters (Figure 1) are secondary solids control equipment used in oil and gas drilling rigs (check also: types of drilling rigs) that use
When the mud is static, the rheological properties should prevent solids (weighting material and drilled formation solids) from settling. The relevant property in this respect
Most formation solids can be removed by mechanical means at the surface as shale shaker screens. Small particles are more difficult to remove and have
The shale shakers are the first mechanical treatment of the returning drilling fluid for solids control. None of the other mechanical devices can cope with
Shale Shaker performance Design is a function of: Vibration Pattern Vibration dynamics Deck size and configuration Shaker screen characteristics Mud rheology (plastic viscosity) Solids loading
