Shale shakers are components of equipment used in many industries, such as cleaning, , oil and gas drilling.They are the first phase of a system on a , and are used to remove large solids () from the ("mud"). Drilling fluids are integral to the drilling process and, among other functions, s.
[pdf] The drilling rigs used in shale development are usually "top-drive" rigs that are capable of "walking" short distances (on the order of 20 feet) in order to drill multiple wells on one well pad without the need to dis-assemble and re-assemble the rig between each well.

Shale shakers are the primary solids separation tool on a rig. After returning to the surface of the well the used drilling fluid flows directly to the shale shakers where it begins to be processed. .

A shaker screen consists of the following parts:• Screen frame - Much like a canvas for painting a screen has to be supported on a frame in order to do its job, this frame differs between manufacturers in both material and shape.. .
The (API) Screen Designation is the customary identification for screen panels. This includes:• API. .
Shale shakers consist of the following parts:• Hopper - The hopper, commonly called the "base" serves as. .
The causes of premature screen failure are:• Mishandling of screen panels during storage The drilling rigs used in shale development are usually "top-drive" rigs that are capable of "walking" short distances (on the order of 20 feet) in order to drill multiple wells on one well pad without the need to dis-assemble and re-assemble the rig between each well.
