Drilling operations are highly dependent upon reliable shale shaker to perform efficient drilling operations. Suitable drilling fluid quality, efficient solids removal and low waste production, as well as health, safety and environment (HSE), especially of working environment (WE) in the shaker room, are all respects relevant for selection and skills operation of shale shaker in the oil industry.

SHAKER SCREEN PERFORMANCE AND CATEGORIES
Shaker screen or you can say shale shaker screen too, is a type of mechanical screen, aim for take solids out or separate solids from drilling fluid (mud). Usually it’s made by stainless steel, polyurethane or composite frame. It’s a spare part of shale shaker and combined shaker frame by stainless screw and wedge block.
NON–OILFIELD DRILLING USES OF SHALE SHAKERS
Trenchless drilling is one of the fastest growing areas for shale shaker use other than in drilling oil and gas wells. Many of these shakers are used in conjunction with hydrocyclones, creating a mud cleaner.
1. Microtunneling
Microtunneling has become very popular in Europe and is being used more and more in the United States. Microtunneling is horizontal boring of a large-diameter hole (from 27 inches up to 10 feet) while
simultaneously laying pipe. This is typically done in cities for laying or replacing water and sewer pipe under buildings and heavily traveled roads.
