Poorboy Degasser

Poorboy Degasser Overview

A poorboy degasser is a specialized device for degassing gas-immersed drilling fluid. The main difference between a poorboy degasser and a vacuum degasser is that it can remove large bubbles from the drilling fluid. It primarily removes bubbles larger than 3mm in diameter to prevent blowouts, kicks, and other major accidents.

Xi’an HL Petroleum’s mud gas separator can be fed directly from a rotary blowout preventer, or you can use it to separate large bubbles from a choke manifold. The treated drilling fluid, which contains small bubbles, is then vibrated by a shale shaker. After screening, it enters the vacuum degasser for conventional degassing, completing the degassing process and ensuring drilling operations.

Advantages of the Poorboy Degasser

1. Optimized equipment structure, small footprint, and elegant appearance;

2. Excellent field user feedback, few wearing parts, and high cost-effectiveness.

3. The selected materials ensure reliable material quality.

4. They polished and sandblasted the entire equipment before painting it with an epoxy zinc-rich primer, an epoxy micaceous iron midcoat, and a polyurethane topcoat. We used high-pressure airless spraying to enhance the equipment’s corrosion resistance and aesthetics.>>Send an Enquiry [email protected]<<

Mud Gas Separator Working Principle

Gas-invaded drilling fluid enters the separator at the inlet. After colliding with the impact plate, it is dispersed onto a series of internal baffles. The bubbles burst and separate from the drilling fluid.

In the provided figure, points A, B, and C create a U-shaped structure that keeps gas from escaping through the exhaust port. Instead, the gas discharges through the outlet at the top of the tank and is directed to a safe location. The length of the exhaust pipe is determined on site. After this process, the degassed drilling fluid discharges through a vibrating screen into a circulation tank, where a vacuum degasser further degasses it.
