Abstract:
A shale shaker system. The system includes a fluid transport pipe configured to receive a stream of drill cuttings and fluid returns from a wellbore during a drilling operation; an analysis module configured to receive at least a portion of the stream of drill cuttings and fluid returns at an inlet; a cuttings chute configured to receive at least a portion of the stream of drill cuttings and fluid returns from an outlet of the container, and deliver them to a screen box; and one or more screens for filtering drill cuttings from the fluid returns. The analysis module comprises logging sensors configured to operate while drill cuttings are moving through the system. The logging sensors communicate with a processor to determine characteristics of the drill cuttings in real time. A method for analyzing drill cuttings at a well site is also provided.
