Tips For Solids Control Of Drilling
Shale Shaker In Drilling
Shale shaker is the main solids removal equipment. Today, offshore and onshore drilling projects where more effective fluids/solids separation is required in addition to the reduction of costs related to shale shakers performance.

MUD CONDITIONING TESTS
These tests are used to determine the shaker mesh size required to provide protection against screen impairment and quantify the mud plugging index (MPI) to be used on the rig to control mud quality prior to running the screen in the hole.

Solids Control and Waste Management for SAGD
Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage = SAGD “Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD; “Sag-D”) is an enhanced oil recovery technology for producing heavy crude oil and bitumen. It is an advanced form of steam stimulation in which a pair of horizontal wells is drilled into the oil reservoir, one a few metres above the other. -wikipedia
