Shale Shaker Equipment for NORSOK Standards

NORSOK standards compliance for shale shaker equipment is critical for drilling contractors operating on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Aipu Solids Control ensures its equipment meets applicable NORSOK requirements for North Sea operations.

NORSOK Standards Overview

NORSOK standards are developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry to ensure adequate safety, value adding, and cost effectiveness for petroleum industry developments and operations in Norway. These standards are widely recognized as among the most rigorous in the global oil and gas industry. For solids control equipment including shale shakers, relevant NORSOK standards address mechanical equipment design, materials selection, corrosion protection, and operational safety. The NORSOK M-650 standard for qualification of manufacturers provides a framework for verifying that manufacturers have the competence and capability to supply equipment meeting NORSOK requirements.

Key Technical Requirements

NORSOK standards impose specific technical requirements not found in all international equipment standards. Material traceability requirements ensure that all structural steel and critical components can be traced to their original mill certificates. Corrosion protection requirements for offshore environments specify coating systems tested for North Sea conditions. Design life requirements typically specify 20 to 25 years for major equipment, influencing material selection and corrosion allowance calculations. Operational requirements address ergonomics, maintenance access, and safety in the offshore working environment. Aipu’s engineering team understands these requirements and can configure shale shaker equipment accordingly.

Aipu Support for NORSOK Projects
