The drilling solids control system consists of multiple solids control equipment and mud tanks. Mud shale shaker is one of the important equipment for mud tank. Some oil drilling companies refer to tanks equipped with shale shakers as shaker tanks. In fact, the shale shaker tank is a set of primary mud system. Including shale shaker, agitator, mud tank, pump and so on.
The main function of the shale shaker mud tank is to process the mud returned during the drilling process of the drilling rig, which is the first step in mud processing. The mud shaker tank can generally process 120-240 cubic meters per hour, and can store 300bbl~500bbl of mud. These mud will be transported by sand pumps to the desander and desilter for secondary treatment. Next, you need to process the mud through drilling fluid centrifuge tanks, jet mixing tanks, etc. Finally, the processed mud is transported to the well through the mud pump to achieve drilling lubrication and well wall consolidation.
The configuration of the shale shaker mud tank varies according to the drilling depth. Traditionally, the shale shaker mud tank in the solid control needs to be equipped with 2 shale shakers; the shale shaker tank in the solid control of the drilling rig needs to be matched with 3 shale shakers. With the improvement of solids control technology, a new type of shale shaker, that is, a high-power multi-layer shale shaker, has emerged. The appearance of the multi-layer shale shaker has changed the structure and volume of the traditional shale shaker mud tank because of the multi-layer vibration. The screen is equipped with multi-layer screens, with high power and large screen area and high screening accuracy. It can replace the traditional two-line shale shaker and three-line shale shaker, so that the volume of the traditional shale shaker mud tank becomes smaller and compact, especially it is convenient for well site installation and layout.

In the future, the multi-stage shale shaker tank will replace the traditional shale shaker tank and desanding and mud removal tank, realizing multiple functions in one machine, thereby greatly improving the drilling solids control technology. This is a trend. Promoting the use of multi-stage shale shaker tank system is the unremitting pursuit of Brightway.
