We are excited to announce the successful shipment of two sets of our 1000GPM (approximately 240 cubic meters per hour) HDD Mud Cleaning Systems to a valued client in Australia. This delivery underscores our commitment to providing high-quality, reliable solids control solutions for the global horizontal directional drilling (HDD) industry.

Each system is meticulously configured to ensure optimal performance and efficiency in demanding drilling environments. The core components of each unit include:

An 11.5-meter Mud Tank: Serving as the central hub for the drilling fluid circulation and treatment process.

Two Double-Deck Shale Shakers: Acting as the primary and crucial stage of solids control. These shakers are vital for removing large drill cuttings and protecting downstream equipment. At GN, we understand that the shaker’s performance significantly impacts the entire system’s effectiveness. We offer flexible designs, including custom-built double or even triple shaker modules on a single skid with integrated manifolds to meet specific project needs. Our range includes advanced third-generation linear motion and fourth-generation balanced elliptical motion shakers, known for their high screening efficiency and reliability.

Two Desander Cyclones: For the efficient removal of medium-sized solids.

Ten 5-inch Desilter Cyclones: Providing fine solids separation to maintain the desired properties of the drilling fluid.

Three Sand Pumps: Ensuring consistent and powerful fluid transfer throughout the system.

One Mud Mixing Hopper: For the controlled and efficient addition of drilling fluid additives.

One Mud Agitator: Essential for maintaining uniform suspension of solids in the mud tank, preventing settlement.

A key feature of this setup is the integration of our GNZS Linear Motion Shale Shakers. These shakers incorporate advanced technology and our own innovative design improvements. Engineered for robustness and high performance, they are well-regarded by clients for their high G-force, expansive screening area, compact footprint, and excellent cost-effectiveness, making them a superior choice for various drilling applications.

This comprehensive configuration ensures that our Australian client is equipped with a robust and efficient system capable of handling high flow rates, delivering superior solids control, and enhancing the overall productivity and environmental compliance of their HDD operations.

In the demanding environment of drilling operations, efficient solids control is not just an advantage—it’s a necessity. As the first phase in the drilling fluids processing system, the shale shaker plays a pivotal role, setting the stage for the entire mud system’s performance. Recognizing this critical function, GN Solids Control has engineered the K Series Shale Shaker, a solution tailored to meet the rigorous demands of the Middle East oilfield service industry.

The importance of a reliable shale shaker cannot be overstated. It serves as the primary barrier against solids contamination, directly influencing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of drilling activities. GN’s approach goes beyond standard offerings; we provide customized configurations, including double or triple shakers mounted on a single skid, complete with integrated connecting manifolds. This flexibility ensures that our clients receive a system perfectly aligned with their specific operational requirements. In line with evolving industry needs, GN offers both third-generation linear motion shakers and advanced fourth-generation balanced elliptical models, delivering optimal performance across diverse drilling conditions.

The GNZS Linear Motion Shale Shaker embodies a fusion of global technological insights and GN’s proprietary engineering. This synergy has resulted in a comprehensive range of shakers that adapt seamlessly to varying customer demands. Field feedback consistently highlights their exceptional capabilities: high G-force for superior solids separation, an expansive screen area that enhances processing capacity, a compact design that saves valuable rig space, and outstanding cost-efficiency that maximizes return on investment.

Key Features and Benefits of the GN Linear Motion Shale Shaker:

Robust Deck Construction: The entire shaker deck undergoes rigorous heat treatment to eliminate welding stress, ensuring structural integrity and reliable operation under high G-force conditions.

Efficient Screen Installation: A mechanical ratchet wrench mechanism allows for rapid screen tightening and easy disassembly, minimizing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency.

Durable Wedge Blocks: Crafted from high-performance nylon, these components resist high temperatures, corrosion, and wear, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh environments.

Premium Vibration Motors: Equipped with renowned OLI brand motors from Italy, guaranteeing consistent and reliable vibration performance.

Advanced Sealing Solutions: Polyurethane seals between the shaker and screen not only extend service life but also simplify replacement, reducing maintenance efforts.

Corrosion-Resistant Support Elements: Stainless steel rubber strips on the vibration screen’s bottom frame provide excellent corrosion resistance and durability.

Safety-Focused Electrical Controls: The control box, constructed from aluminum alloy or stainless steel explosion-proof materials, ensures superior sealing and corrosion resistance, adhering to stringent safety standards.

Pre-Tensioned Screen System: Facilitates quick and hassle-free screen replacement, further reducing maintenance time and costs.

Flexible Mud Outlet Options: The outlet can be configured as either bottom or side discharge, allowing for adaptable installation to suit specific site layouts.

Adjustable Deck Angle: Mechanically adjustable at both ends during operation, enabling real-time optimization for varying processing needs and drilling conditions.

For Middle East oilfield service companies, the GN Shale Shaker represents more than just equipment—it’s a partnership in productivity. By combining innovative design with proven reliability, GN ensures that your solids control system starts strong, setting a solid foundation for the entire drilling process. Experience the difference with GN, where performance meets precision.
