GN Poor Boy Degasser and Cuttings Boxes Delivered to Sinopec

GN Solids Control is a leading solids control and waste management equipment provider; customers are widely spread in more than 72 countries and regions. GN Solids Control has 2 manufacturing plants in China, now the global market is around 70% and the domestic market is around 30%.


Almost all the large oil and gas service providers and drilling rigs contractors are using GN Solids Control products in thousands of drilling rig sites. GN Solids Control has a very close relationship with most of the companies working on solids control and waste management area.
GN Solids Control has provided hundreds of shakers, decenter centrifuges and cuttings dryers to China oil companies. Just several weeks before, GN Solids Control delivered some poor boy degassers and cuttings boxes to Sinopec.
As we all know, Sinopec is one the largest oil companies in China, GN Solids Control has been providing solids control and waste management equipment for many years.
GN poor boy degasser is mainly used to eliminate large bubbles in the drilling fluid. GN poor boy degasser is composed by a large cylinder, one metal plate is fixed on top of the inner cylinder. Drilling fluid is hit on the baffle plate firmly so the large bubbles will run from the top of the cylinder. GN Solids Control also manufactures vacuum degasser and centrifugal degasser to eliminate finer bubbles. Centrifugal degasser takes narrow room which can be used various drilling rigs solids control systems.
Beside the poor boy degasser, GN Solids Control also provides some sets of cuttings boxes to Sinopec. GN Cuttings Boxes are mainly used to collect those drilling waste discharged from shaker, desander, desilter, decanter centrifuge and cuttings dryer. Level monitor is fixed on each cuttings box. In order to watch the leakage, some leaking devices are also fixed in the cutting box.

Mud gas separator facts to sure the safety

“Poor Boy” degasser is most common name use in the oil field to describe mud gas separator.  It is the purpose of design is to remove the gas that is mixed in with drilling fluid, often flammable, to make sure safety of the whole drilling rig.  GN Solids America LLC’s GNZYQ1000A mud gas separator is designed with different capacities and meet specific mud gas separate needs.

The least amount of harmful gas can manage by using vacuum degasser near the whole solids control system.  However, the majority of gas that comes along the drilling fluid that is from underground during the kick situation, it needs GNZYQ 1000A mud gas separator to perform the task.

Primary Safe Unit for Drilling Fluids-Mud Gas Separator

We could see the mud gas separating installed in many drilling rig jobsite. Regarding to complicated geologic environment of drilling site, mud gas separator is used for separating the hazardous gas from the drilling fluids.  Mud gas separator not only is used for oil & gas drilling site, but also it is applied for the deep mining drilling jobsite.

How is GN mud gas separator working?

The drilling fluids/mud from down hole goes into mud gas separator (poor boy degasser).Due to the gravity force, the mud drops down on the 1000mm diameter vessel of poor boy degasser. Mud collides on buffer plate of pipe so the dangerous gas will be relieved from the drilling fluids. Obviously, gas flows to the top of 8 inch vent line which is connected with the flare igniter to burn out. Normally, flare ignition device is about 160 ft away from the poor boy degasser to assure the safe distance burning. Meanwhile, the mud would go down and accumulated at the bottom of mud gas separator, and subsequently flow to the into the solids control system including shale shaker, desander, desilter and decanter centrifuge etc
