GAS VENT SYSTEM AND METHODS OF OPERATING THE SAME

摘要

A gas intake apparatus (202) for use in a wellbore configured to channel a mixture of fluids and solids includes a housing (402) defining a chamber (404) and at least one gas intake passage (410) in flow communication with the chamber. The gas intake apparatus further includes a gas intake mechanism coupled to the housing at the at least one gas intake passage. The gas intake mechanism is configured to facilitate a flow of gaseous substances therethrough and to restrict a flow of solids and liquids therethrough.
