MONGOOSE PRO Shaker

Dual motion combined with configuration flexibility to suit your needs

MONGOOSE PRO Shaker: Flexible,

dual motion solids control for the
toughest drilling demands

In todays high-cost, high-octane onshore and

offshore drilling environments, an optimum
solids control package is imperative to reducing
costly non-productive time (NPT) while meeting
increasingly strict environmental regulations.
As the rate of penetration (ROP) changes
during drilling, your shakers must be able to
keep pace and handle a wide range of solids
and fluid compositions. When using premium
drilling fluids, you also need a shaker that
delivers maximum recovery to convert what
otherwise would be waste to beneficial reuse.

With the MONGOOSE PRO shaker, both

your drilling budget and the environment
come out ahead. The generous throughput
capacity of the shaker can handle large
cuttings volumes generated by high
ROP, saving both rig time and chemical
consumption. The normal mode recovers
greater amounts of valuable drilling fluid
and produces drier cuttings that reduce
disposal costs and prolong screen life.
Since it processes drill solids more
thoroughly than conventional shakers,
the cuttings require much less treatment
for disposal while reduced dilution means
a smaller waste stream.

Improves environmental performance

The dual-motion MONGOOSE PRO

shaker from M-I SWACO, a Schlumberger
company, effectively handles the
ever-changing solids load during
the well construction process while
delivering cuttings that meet the tightest
environmental restrictions. In the capacity
mode, the MONGOOSE PRO shaker
manages the high cuttings volumes
associated with surface hole sections.
As drilling progresses and conditions
change, the MONGOOSE PRO shaker can
be changed with the flip of a switch to
normal mode that allows for longer cuttings
retention times in the shaker drying zone.
The result includes cuttings that are
sufficiently dry and free of contaminants,
allowing for full environmental compliance
while reducing treatment and disposal
costs.
The MONGOOSE PRO dual motion
shaker also recovers significant volumes
of reusable high-end drilling fluids.
Whats more, in particularly daunting
drilling conditions, up to four
MONGOOSE PRO shakers can be aligned
on a single skid to deliver even greater
efficiencies.

The flexibility and efficiency

of dual motion
The ability to quickly and easily switch
between motions as cuttings volumes
and characteristics change provides
operators a distinct advantage, especially
in deeper, more challenging wells and on
rigs where space is scarce. Thats where
the revolutionary MONGOOSE PRO shaker
separates itself from conventional shakers.

As drilling conditions change, the

MONGOOSE PRO dual-motion shaker
can be switched easily and quickly.
Simply flipping a switch on the control
box reconfigures the shaker from Capacity
to Normal mode. As an added bonus, with
the MONGOOSE PRO shaker you do not
have to suspend or shut down operations
to reap the distinctive benefits of Capacity
and Normal modes.
The high-volume capacity mode
In capacity mode, the MONGOOSE PRO
shaker is especially effective while drilling
top-hole sections where the generation of
heavy, high-volume solids is the norm. In
these intervals, shakers need to generate
high G-forces to quickly and effectively
move high volumes of solids across the
screens. During drilling breaks and when
fluid viscosity is increased, the capacity
mode eliminates the need for screen
changes while heading off losses.
The economy of normal mode
The MONGOOSE PRO shaker operates in
the gentler normal mode whenever the
cuttings volume is reduced, usually in lower
sections. Like its capacity counterpart,
the normal motion likewise conveys solids
quickly out of the fluid pool. When the
cuttings reach the discharge screen, the
conveyance rate is slowed to allow for
extended drying time and recovery of
valuable drilling fluid. The efficiency of this
motion allows for higher processing rates
while increasing cuttings dryness and
minimizing haul-off costs.

MONGOOSE PRO Dual, Triple and Quad Shakers

take performance to a new dimension
Applications often arise that are so
challenging that even the ultra-efficient
MONGOOSE PRO shaker needs a boost.
For those applications that require even
more capabilities, two, three, or four
MONGOOSE PRO shakers can be prealigned at the factory and mounted together
on a single skid. The unit is engineered to be
moved by a single lift, reducing the time and
costs associated with rig moves.
The dual and triple units include a common
possum belly, a single flowline connection
to the individual shakers, integral feeder

slide gates, and a bypass valve that either

balances or completely diverts flow
from a shaker. Multiple configurations of
mud cleaners also can be added to the
dual, triple, or quad shakers. In addition,
interconnected walkways between shakers
allow safe and easy access.

Available options:

MONGOOSE PRO Mud Cleaners

available for all configurations
To enhance efficiencies even more, the
flexible design of the MONGOOSE PRO
shaker allows for the installation of
mud cleaners for single, dual, triple or
quad configurations. Our mud cleaning
technology includes d-sander units in
two or three 12-in. hydroclone assemblies,
and d-silter units available in six, eight
or ten 4-in. twin-hydroclone assemblies.
The MONGOOSE PRO mud cleaners
operate independently as d-sanders,
d-silters and flowline shakers.

The MONGOOSE PRO mud cleaners

are designed with a low profile of
approximately 64 in. (1,626 mm) to the
top of the trough. This compact
design minimizes height requirement
and the overall rig-site footprint.
The integral bypass between the shaker
and d-sander/d-silter allows for
inspection and maintenance without
ladders or scaffolds.

MONGOOSE PRO Composite

Screens provide longer
life, more usable area
The intrinsic cost-effective performance of
the MONGOOSE PRO shaker is enhanced
even more when combined with the
M-I SWACO high-capacity composite
shaker screens, the most rugged, longlasting and most efficient screens available.
Standard to the MONGOOSE PRO shaker
and unique in the industry, the proven
composite screens offer significant fluid
capacity, excellent resistance to blinding,
drier solids discharge and a large net usable
screen area.

These highly engineered screens also

provide resistance to corrosive drilling
fluids. Composite construction creates
an ultra-tight seal between the screen
and screen bed, eliminating costly solids
bypass. The unique screen locking
mechanism wedges the screen firmly
in place and allows for simple and safe
removal of the screen for repair or
replacement.

MONGOOSE PRO Shaker

proves itself in the field
Southern Louisiana: MONGOOSE PRO shaker reduces drill disposal costs
over $23K by reducing volumes 47%
The Situation
A rig in Louisiana was selected for a
shaker replacement trial comparison.
The rig had just completed drilling a
well and was prepared to move over
approximately 50 yards and drill a similar
well. Due to extensive dilution, and haul
off costs, the rig-owned flow line shaker
was replaced with a MONGOOSE PRO
shaker from the M-I SWACO rental fleet.
A complete evaluation of the solids control
efficiency and waste management costs
associated with this drilling program
was conducted to prove the additional
performance achieved by incorporating
new solutions into an existing
drilling program.
The Solution
The new generation MONGOOSE PRO
shaker was engineered to operate in both
the normal and capacity modes.
The normal mode produces 6.5 G,
while the capacity mode produces 7.5 G.
Because drilling rates and conditions
change and demands are increasing
in modern day drilling, solids control
equipment must be able to handle a wide
range of solids and fluid compositions.
While drilling, maximum fluids recovery is
of critical concern. The MONGOOSE PRO
shaker was designed with performance
to meet the ever demanding requirements
of todays drilling operations. M-I SWACO
identified two critical criteria to assess
overall shaker performance: fluid
conductance, and cuttings dryness.

The Results
The MONGOOSE PRO shaker proved
more than capable of handling the 12.25
section with an average ROP of 50 ft/hr
and consistent flow rates at or near
660 gal/min, all while dressed with
JMONXR200C mesh screens at a +1 deck
angle and drilling fluid weighing in at 9.2
PPG with a 40-45 second vis. Further to the
optimal performance exhibited towards
preserving the fluids rheology and low
gravity solids (LGS), the MONGOOSE PRO
shaker drastically reduced disposal
volumes, transportation and ultimately
cost by nearly half, and volumes were
reduced by an astonishing 47%.
Once both wells were drilled, data for the
disposal volumes and cost were collected.
Testing results and final evaluation further
confirmed the superior performance of the
MONGOOSE PRO shaker and the ability
to screen finer, earlier in the well, without
sacrificing ROP or Circulating Rate.
