Using these technologies, the operator reduced fluid discharge by 75% compared with the fluid discharge from rig shakers, and reduction of 50% compared with that from drying shakers only. This led to a recovery of 12 bbl/day of the HydraGlyde system.
Location
Eagle Ford Shale, United States, North America, Onshore
Background
Concerned about the high volume of HydraGlyde system fluid lost at the shakers, an operator needed a way to reduce mud on cuttings (MOC). The operator decided to install SCREEN PULSE fluid and cuttings separators on three MONGOOSE PRO dynamic dual-motion shale shakers. Used with DURAFLO composite replacement screens, the SCREEN PULSE separators maximize fluid recovery and shaker performance in the high-ROP environment of the Eagle Ford shale.
