4.
EQUIPMENT USE
The MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker is designed to provide primary solids removal from both oil-based
mud (OBM) and water-based mud (WBM) during drilling operations. Fluid from the wellbore is pumped up for
processing. Depending on rig site conditions, this fluid can be processed before it reaches the Shale Shaker or
stored in a tank. From the holding tank, fluid is pumped into a number of Shale Shakers to separate waste solids
from viable drilling solution. Dried solids are collected and hauled away as waste, and the processed liquid is
either routed to another storage tank for evaluation or pumped directly back into the wellbore.
