13. The High G drier
The High G drier is a high performance shale shaker. The unit has a large screen with a three dimensional pyramid profile that increases the effective working area and prevents clogging. The unit also has a high impact vibration motion which produces a considerable performance improvement over standard linear motion shakers. The High G drier should produce cuttings with oil on cuttings (OOC) levels in the order of 5 - 8%. Although the level of oil recovery is not as high as the M.U.D. 10 unit there is no requirement for an additional centrifuge and the processed cuttings are easier to handle. This unit will again be most effective for mud recovery from top hole sections.
