1. INTRODUCTION
The M-I SWACO Horizontal D-Gasser is a mechanical device designed to help drilling personnel maintain
maximum control of drilling mud characteristics during periods of gas cutting. Degassers are necessary to
remove entrained gas bubbles from the mud. Gas-cut mud will impair the performance of centrifugal pumps.
Since all solids removal equipment beyond the shakers requires a pump, the gas must be removed before it
reaches these devices. If left unchecked and pumped downhole, the entrained gas will reduce mud density, which
will, in turn, reduce the hydrostatic head in the wellbore. The Horizontal D-Gasser also provides for venting gas
at a safe distance from the rig, greatly reducing the fire hazard when drilling through or below gas-laden
formations.

2. FORWARD
As equipment is updated over time, changes to supporting documents may occur in the form of simple revisions
or development of completely new documents.
Document version information is indicated on the front cover in parenthesis with the document part number. This
part number and revision is duplicated on all printed pages. The initial release of a document is represented by
double dashes (--) while subsequent revisions will be represented by sequential letters (A) (B) (C) etc.
To ensure that the document you are using is still active and that it has not been superseded by a more recent
version, contact your local M-I SWACO representative. They can check the document distribution system to
verify the document and version you have.

m impairs th he performance of centrifu
ugal pumps. SSince all solidds removal eqquipment dow

ump, the gas must be remooved from thee mud before it reaches theese devices. IIf left
untreated and pumped downhole, th g will reduc e mud densityy which will, in turn, reducce the

hydrostatiic head in the wellbore.
The fundaamental princciple for all deegassers is thaat gas bubbless must reach tthe liquid-gass interface beefore they willl
burst, releeasing the gass. The M-I SWWACO Horizzontal D-Gassser sprays thee mud in a thiin layer over bbaffle plates

vessel. Th he gas-cut mu ud is drawn in
nto the vessell through the suction line aand dispersed in a thin layeer over the
baffle platte where the gas
g is exposed d to a vacuum
m and removeed by the vacuuum pump. T The gas is theen discharged
into the gaas air outlet. The internal float ball mecchanism, threee-way valve and mud jet aassembly ensuures that a
constant liquid level is maintained in the Horizon ntal D-Gasserr vessel. The mud jet remooves the degaassed mud
from the vessel
v and disscharges the mud
m into the next

The mud level in the vessel is controlled by a liquid level float control assembly with a mechanical linkage to
operate the three-way valve in the vacuum line. When the mud in the vessel increases above the normal operating
level, the float ball and linkage move the three-way valve stem downward to close the vacuum line and stop the
flow of gas to the vacuum pump. In this position, the three-way valve also opens to the atmosphere to allow air to
enter the vessel to decrease the amount of vacuum. The mud level will decrease to the normal operating level.
When the mud level in the vessel is reduced, the float ball and linkage move the stem of the three-way valve
upward to open the vacuum line to the vessel and to the vacuum pump. In this position, the three-way valve shuts
off the flow of outside air into the vessel. The mud level will then increase to the normal operating level.
The vacuum gauge on the vessel measures the differential between vessel pressure and atmospheric pressure.
Normally, the vacuum gauge will read between eight and ten inches of mercury vacuum. The actual vacuum
reading will vary depending on the mud level in the pit, mud weight, gas volume and mud jet pressure. A steady
reading indicates the gas entering the vessel equals the flow of gas volume out through the vacuum pump.
With only the vacuum pump operating, the mud is lifted until there are equal levels in the suction and discharge
pipes. Applying pressure to the mud jet will pull the gas-cut mud through the vessel. The flow rate of mud out of
the vessel is dependent upon the amount of pressure applied to the jet. Refer to Figure 5 (for low pressure jet) or
Figure 6 (for high pressure jet) to determine the jet pressure required to obtain a desired flow rate for a given mud
weight.

Figure 16. V-belt tension diagram.

1. Using a tension gauge, check for a deflection of 5/16-inch (a) at the center of the belt span (A) at 2.5 to 3.3
pounds force (F). Refer to Figure 16.
2. If the deflection is not correct:
a. Loosen the motor mounting bolts (Figure 21).
b. Adjust the belt tensioning bolts (Figure 22) until deflection is correct.
c. Tighten motor mounting bolts.
Checking the Belt for Wear
1. The following are indications of a belt nearing failure:
 A belt that squeals or chirps, or makes a slapping, rubbing or grinding sound.
 Unusual or excessive vibration or a belt flopping in the sheave.
 A belt that is hot to the touch.
2. Check the belts for cracking, separation, surface hardening, or other defects.
3. If any of the indications in step 1 or 2 are observed, replace the drive belts as a set per 15.4.
13.3.2 Checking the Vacuum Pump Crankcase Oil Level
1. Locate the oil level indicator tube on the Vacuum Pump crankcase (Figure 17, and Figure 26 item 33) facing
the Liquid Trap Tank. The oil level is correct when the tube is half full.
