This paper will aid in sizing, material selection, installation, and operation of atmospheric open bottom mud gas separators (AOBMGS) for onshore well control operations. It is based on a document prepared for the Canadian Petroleum Association (CPA) entitled " Guidelines and Specifications for Designing Mud Gas Separators For Use In the Canadian Drilling Industry".1 Some modifications to the CPA document have been included in this paper.
