Description
Mud Gas Separators for Gas Service (Poorboy Degasser) form part of the well-control system and play a critical role in ensuring the safe operation of the rig. The Mud Gas Separator (Poorboy Degasser) is normally located on, or in the vicinity of, the drill floor, downstream of the buffer block on the choke and kill manifold. Employed as a safety-critical piece of well-control equipment, the MGS is used in series with the choke manifold to safely circulate out a gas kick from the well.
Kapwell-certified Mud Gas Separators can handle a high proportion of mud solids and may experience hydrate plugging as a result of gas expansion through the choke. The liquid seal ensures that separated gas vents safely without breaking through to the mud tanks. The design of our Mud Gas Separators is based on client specifications, ABS CDS requirements, conventional process practices, and the latest notices and publications.
The capacity of the MGS depends on the design. If the capacity is exceeded, liquid mud or oil droplets may be carried up through the vent line. More importantly, gas may blow straight through the U-tube (liquid seal) and into the shale shaker house, where there is potential for explosion and fire. It is essential to verify that the system is capable of handling the maximum amount of fluid and gas that could be produced by the well in the case of a severe kick.
Our technology offers the highest level of safety during mud and gas processing.
