The TRU-Vision system, developed by Baker Hughes, analyzes the gas extracted from drilling mud to estimate the hydrocarbons composition in drilled rock formations. Several separation processes had been surveyed in order to enhance the gas extraction at the gas trap, namely, mechanical stirring, vacuum, air sparging, membrane separation processes, ultrasounds, and cyclones. Mechanical stirring devices (one propeller, one flat-blade turbine, and two baffles sets), a vacuum generator, and an air bubble generator were designed and assembled to increase the efficiency and the response stability of TRU-Vision system.
Air sparging, gas extraction, mechanical stirring, mud logging, vacuum.
