SUPER MUD GAS SEPARATOR (SMGS)
The M-I SWACO SUPER MUD GAS SEPARATOR (SMGS™) offers the highest gas and liquid handling capacity available today. Its efficient baffling system optimizes mud-gas separation, enabling operators to drill deeper, larger diameter wells and exploratory wells at higher circulating rates while safely handling greater volumes of gas. It minimizes gas-cut mud at the flowline and minimizes mist carry-over.
Features & Benefits
- Large 6 ft.-diameter x 22.3 ft. Vessel with 12-in. Flare Line – Allows the highest gas and liquid handling capacity available.
- Atmospheric Operation: 65-mmscf/d gas, 38,000-bpd fluid
- Pressured Operation: 83-mmscf/d gas, 59,000-bpd fluid
- High Gas and Liquid Handling Capacity – Optimizes safe drilling practices during underbalanced conditions, improves “kick” handling capabilities, permits optimum circulation rates, permits large diameter holes to be drilled through targeted zone, provides more efficient separation of emulsions and gas-cut mud in either gas or oil environments and eliminates the need and cost of a skimming system in a gas environment.
- High Efficiency Baffle System – Optimizes mud-gas separation minimizes mist carry-over which produces a cleaner flare and minimizes gas-cut mud at the flow line.
- Capable of Pressured Operation – Increases gas and liquid handling capacities and permits immediate sale of gas during drilling operations.
- Adjustable U-Tube (Liquid Seal) Height to 14 Feet Without Additional Elevation of the Vessel – Increases vessel pressure, creating higher flare capacity and enables more efficient separation of emulsions and gas-cut mud in either gas or oil environments.
- Higher Liquid Capacity Vessel With Multiple Nozzle Ports – Permits pumping of “hot” mud directly into the vessel to reduce gas hydrates. Increases mud gradient within u-tube to increase gas handling capacity.
