Drilling Fluid Management & Disposal
Drilling fluid waste management and solids control of drilling mud related technical and developed situation.
As a result of differences in the design of shale shakers and front hoods/enclosures, it was difficult to test all shakers within the exact same parameters. It was determined that each shaker had to be tested as dictated by the differences in design of each unit (Fig. 10).

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.

Adverse effects caused by drilled solids account for a major portion of drilling fluid maintenance expenditures. Drilled solids are the number one contaminant of all drilling fluids. Considering that a 12¼ in. gauge hole drilled to 10,000 ft would result in 1,327,000 lb or more of drilled solids, the above statement is not surprising.
