n: a steel tank placed under the shale shaker into which mud falls after passing through the shale shaker. The shaker re- moves mainly cuttings from the mud so solids such as sand and other fine particles fall with the mud into the sand trap. Many of the solids fall out of the mud in the sand trap: those that do not settle out are removed with other specialized solids control mud treatment equipment such as desanders and desilters.

n: A small pit, typically located immediately after the shaker screens, which is used as a settling pit to separate coarser solids that accidentally bypass the shakers. Mud enters the pit at one side and exits via an overflow at the other. Sand traps are dum

a surface vessel in the production line with the specific task or capturing sand before the production goes through a point where the sand may damage equipment.

n: a pit that is dug in the earth for the purpose of receiving mud returned from the well and allowing the solids in the mud to settle out. Steel mud tanks are more often used today, along with various auxiliary equipment for controlling solids quickly and efficiently.

n: A drilling mud filled open steel or earthen berm tank that is not stirred or circulated. By having mud slowly pass through such a container, most large drilling solids sink to the bottom, cleaning the mud somewhat. If the settling pit is small, as in the

n: 1. the steel mud tank in which solid material in mud is allowed to settle out by gravity. It is used only in special situations today, for solids control equipment has superseded such a tank in most cases. Sometimes called a settling pit. 2. a cylindrical vessel on a lease into which produced emulsion is piped and in which water in the emulsion is allowed to settle out of the oil.
