Title: New mud gas trap allows continuous formation fluid evaluation

Journal Article · · World Oil
OSTI ID:390098

Advanced reservoir evaluation applications and other advantages of a new technique for more accurately measuring gas in drilling mud (mud logging) have been proven. The Quantitative Gas Measurement (QGM) System, patented by Texaco and the Gas Research Institute (GRI), is now available through more than 40 licensed companies. Multiple tests have been conducted, as documented in three technical papers. And Chevron has reported positive success with the system in several development projects. This paper gives a brief summary of the background and design of this system.
