Shaker Pit on new Fraste Multi-drill

While operating, the Fraste MD/XL utilizes a desanding cone and deck-mounted shaker pit to separate sand and large cuttings from the recirculated mud and deposit them directly into a drum. Also mounted on the deck is a jet shear mud mixer that discharges directly into the mud tub. These features make the Fraste largely self-contained.

The Jean Lutz LT3n rig monitoring system is a computer that monitors hydraulic pressures to record and display the following parameters:
 

•   Depth

•   Thrust Pressure

•   Mud Pressure

  Torque

•    Rotation

  Penetration Rate
 

The saved data produces a customizable report (right) displaying all the recorded parameters, as well as compound parameters that can provide additional and continuous in situ information.
