DRILLING MUD VACUUM GAS DEGASSER

Abstract

Drilling mud has an important place in drilling. It is not always possible to drill all formations with water. In some cases, it is absolutely necessary to use drilling mud. Most of the time, using drilling mud provides great convenience and economy to work during drilling. For these reasons, it is very important to know the properties of drilling mud well and to use it properly. In rotary drillings where drilling is done with fluid circulation, the continuation and uninterrupted continuation of drilling depends on providing circulation. However, some natural conditions may prevent this circulation. One of them is that it fills with gas and squirts. If the pressure of the fluids contained in the formation being drilled is high, the drilling fluid pushes back and replaces it and squirts out into the earth. Progress with water creates great difficulties as swelling, melting, cavernous, cracked and spilled formations are drilled. Drilling mud ensures the continuity of drilling in such cases where it is inconvenient to use water due to swelling, melting, collapse and spills. While loose formations (clay, sandy, pebbly, etc.) are drilled, the water circulation loosens the natural binding materials (sand, gravel, etc.) on the well wall, causing these materials to spill into the well, compacting and eroding the tool. In such cases, it is either very difficult or impossible to lower the casing due to continuous collapse. In such a case, the most reliable method is to use drilling mud [1].
