MD-3

High-efficiency, adaptable shaker in a compact package

The MD-3 triple-deck shale shaker by M-I SWACO offers an ideal combination of high efficiency, flexibility and space optimization. Changing drilling conditions necessitate immediate, flexible solids-control solutions. Environmental requirements demand up-to-the-minute conformance with ever-tightening criteria. Rig space, especially offshore but also onshore, is at an all-time premium as more and more technology crowds the work area. Not at all least significant is the matter of high drilling costs and the resulting need to recover and reuse expensive base fluids.

Full shaker automation

The full shaker automation package for the MD-3 triple-deck shale shaker enables operators to enhance the efficiency of the shakers and screen operation while reducing the HSE implications of the typical shaker house. Reduction of exposed personnel to noise, fumes, and vibration is 60% to 70%. Package components include parallel MD-3 shakers, computer server control system, and shaker sensor modules for each shaker. This full automation package enhances the remote manual function to promote real-time automatic operation of the entire shaker system by bringing shakers on- or offline to most efficiently handle the drilling program.
