M-I SWACO, a Schlumberger company, has introduced the MD-2† dual-deck shale shaker. When combined with DURAFLO† composite screens, the MD-2 shaker provides optimal solids control performance for drilling applications.

“As well construction costs continue to rise, today’s shale shakers must be capable of maintaining optimum fluid properties to maximize drilling efficiency,” said Joe Bacho, president, M-I SWACO. “The durable construction and optimal solids control performance of the MD-2 shaker provides unmatched solids control for any environment.”

The development of the MD-2 shale shaker was the result of customers’ requests for a durable mid-range shaker suitable for both onshore and offshore applications. M-I SWACO developed the dual-deck shale shaker using the proven design of the offshore-suited MD-3† triple-deck shaker, and also utilizes design elements from the onshore-suited MONGOOSE PRO† shale shaker. Design validation for the MD-2 shaker was conducted at the SWECO manufacturing facility in Florence, Kentucky, United States.
