Weir Oil & Gas has introduced sensors that are designed to accurately communicate mud gas liquid levels in real time to prevent overflows and maximize safety.
The sensor has been used in the Wyoming region in nitrogen-aerated drilling operations in which overflow is a constant risk. Where operators previously had less than 20 minutes of response time, they now have 3.5 hours to prevent overflow and eliminate liquid in the secondary containment vessel – thus reducing downtime and direct costs.
Mathena™ Mud Gas Separator Intelligent Level Sensor, part of the Mathena™ Mud Gas Separator Intelligent System (MGS-ISC), accurately measures the liquid levels within the mud gas separator for managed-pressure drilling and underbalanced drilling operations, providing accurate kick control and real-time data on-site.
The Mathena™ Mud Gas Separator Intelligent Level Sensor and Mathena™ Mud Gas Separator Intelligent System (MGS-ISC) can be integrated with Weir’s Pressure Control Intelligent Systems. Other modules of the Mathena system including the Mathena™ Vent Gas Analyzer and Intelligent Flow Meter System (VGA-ISF) and Mathena™ ECO-Tank Intelligent System (ECO-ISL.) are also compatible with Weir’s systems.
