What are Shale Shaker Screens?
A shale shaker screen is a mesh screen installed in the shale shaker, a key piece of equipment in the solids control system during drilling operations. The main function of a shale shaker screen is to filter and separate large solids (like cuttings) from drilling fluid (or mud) so that the fluid can be reused and the drilling operation can continue efficiently.
Without a reliable shale shaker screen, your drilling fluid can become contaminated, leading to increased wear on your drilling tools and potential operational delays.
Types of Shale Shaker Screens
At Petropath, we offer a wide range of shale shaker screens to meet the specific needs of HDD drilling. Each type of screen is designed to work in various environments and with different drilling conditions.
1. Mongoose & NOV Shale Shaker Screens
The Mongoose and NOV screens are some of the most popular types of shale shaker screens in the market. They are known for their high filtration efficiency, durability, and ability to handle tough drilling conditions. These screens are typically used in oil and gas drilling, HDD, and other large-scale projects.
2. Wave Screens
Wave screens are designed to offer superior filtering capacity and better fluid handling. The wave design increases the screen area, allowing for more fluid to pass through while efficiently separating the solids. This makes wave screens ideal for high-volume HDD projects where efficient fluid recycling is critical.
3. Kemtron Shaker Screens
Kemtron shaker screens are renowned for their excellent performance and long lifespan. These screens are commonly used in drilling applications where high levels of solids removal are required. They are compatible with Kemtron shale shakers and other industry-standard systems, ensuring that your drilling fluid remains clean and reusable.
4. Customized Metal Screens
Petropath also specializes in customized metal screens that are specifically designed to meet the demands of HDD drilling. These screens are made from durable materials and are engineered to withstand tough drilling conditions while ensuring maximum fluid filtration. Customized screens can be tailored to fit your specific shaker model and drilling needs.
