The risk of overloading an atmospheric mud/gas separator (MGS) during high-volume gas kill operations can be minimized. This paper presents the theory and procedure for minimizing this risk for hightemperature/high-pressure (HT/HP) wells. The method can be used to set criteria for selecting the kill method and for separator sizing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
