An operator was challenged to reduce costs for lost drilling fluid, cuttings transportation, and waste disposal by minimizing the amount of drilling fluid lost on cuttings going over the shakers. M-I SWACO, a Schlumberger company, installed the SCREEN PULSE fluid and cuttings separator on three MONGOOSE PRO dynamic dual-motion shale shakers to achieve operator goals and also operational NPT and HSE risks associated with the traditional vertical dryer. The well was drilled in four sections to 1,890 ft [6,200 m] to a total drilling depth of 16,404 ft [5,000 m].
