Shale agitators remove rock particles from drilling fluid, which is vital for the drilling process. The shale shaker is part of a larger mud removal system and uses a vibrating tray lined with a wire mesh screen to remove solids. Choosing the right screen size and corrosion-resistant materials is important. Shale agitators offer benefits such […]
The Marcellus shale is a large underground land formation in the eastern United States, containing significant natural gas reserves. New technologies, such as fracturing, have made it easier to access these resources, but there are significant environmental concerns. State and local governments work to minimize these concerns while maximizing the benefits of natural gas extraction. […]
Shale gas is natural gas extracted from shale wells using hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling techniques. Shale is rich in organic matter and minerals, but shale gas extraction has been controversial due to potential environmental harm. Recent technological advancements have made shale gas extraction more profitable and many countries are looking to it to meet […]
The Burgess Shale in the Canadian Rockies contains well-preserved fossils from the Cambrian period, including arthropods and exotic phyla. It is famous for revealing information about the Cambrian Explosion, and ongoing research may uncover new biological wonders. The Burgess shale is a collection of extremely well preserved fossils from the Cambrian period, approximately 550 to […]
Shale is a soft, fissile sedimentary rock with layers of sand, mud, and clay. It comes in various colors and is used for manufacturing and as a source of fossil depositions. Oil shale is a blend of chemical compounds that can be used for energy but requires significant energy to extract. Shale is a very […]
