Drilling operations involve the use of drilling fluid, also known as drilling mud, which plays a critical role in the overall success of a wellbore drilling project. The drilling mud serves several purposes, including cooling and lubricating the drill bit, stabilizing the wellbore, and carrying the cuttings to the surface. Efficient and effective management of the drilling mud is crucial for the success of the drilling project, and shakers and shaker screens play a crucial role in this regard.

Shakers are mechanical devices that use vibration to separate solids from the drilling mud. They are the primary solids control equipment used in drilling operations. Shakers operate by passing the drilling mud over a series of screens that vibrate at high frequency. The vibration causes the larger solids to separate from the drilling mud and be deposited on the screen while the drilling mud flows through and is collected in a mud tank. The separated solids can be disposed of, recycled, or further processed to extract valuable minerals.

Shaker screens are critical components of shakers. They are the physical barriers that separate the solids from the drilling mud. Shaker screens come in various sizes and configurations and are typically made of metal wire mesh or synthetic materials such as polyurethane. The size of the openings on the screen, measured in microns, determines the size of the solids that can be separated from the drilling mud. The American Petroleum Institute (API) has set standards for shaker screen sizes and their performance characteristics, known as API RP13C.
