<p>The Gas Trap is a device to collect formation gases from oil well fluid flow. Gases are released by the fluid as it travels through a flow pipe. Gas traveling in the pipe is removed for testing when agitated by an Agitating Pipe (19) which stirs the fluid flow, releasing additional gases, which are then separated from the fluid flow when they enter the Agitating Pipe (19) through a Collection Opening (23) at the bottom of the Agitating Pipe (19), travel through the Pipe (19), and a Spillway (61) comprising one or more pipes configured to eliminate any fluid that escapes with the gases. The Gas Trap does not hinder the flow of formation cuttings in the drilling fluid flow line, allowing the cuttings to flow around the Agitating Pipe (19) while separating the gas and removing it from the flow pipe and out of the Gas Trap for analysis.</p> |
