The gas liquid separator is a special device designed for the primary degassing of gas-invasion drilling fluids. It is mainly designed to reduce the large bubbles in the gas-invasion drilling fluid with a diameter of about ≥φ3mm. These large bubbles refer to most of the expanding gas in the drilling fluid that fills a certain section of the wellbore annulus. If it is not removed, it is easy to induce well gushing, or even blow out the surface of the drill pad. The main separation tank of the liquid-gas separator is made of high-quality materials, which can effectively prevent the corrosion of harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide and ensure the normal production of humans and machines.

Gas liquid separator is designed to let gas invaded enter the separation tank from the mud inlet of the drilling fluid liquid-gas separator, collides and diverges by the separating umbrella, increases the exposed surface area, and the mud flows downwards, causing turbulent flow, so that the gas is fully separated from the mud. The free gas is discharged through the gas outlet on the top of the tank. The length of the exhaust pipe is determined and equipped on site, and is led to a safe place, where it is ignited and burned by an ignition device. The degassed drilling fluid is discharged into the circulation tank for recirculation.
