In oil and gas drilling operations, the stability of drilling fluid directly determines the safety and efficiency of the project. However, when gases such as natural gas or air mix into the mud, its density and viscosity change—minor cases can disrupt the balance of the circulation system, while severe cases may lead to well kicks or even blowouts.
To address this issue, Xi’an Kosun has independently developed a vacuum degasser that, with its high-efficiency degassing, stable and reliable performance, and intelligent control, has become an indispensable piece of equipment for ensuring drilling safety.
Xi’an Kosun’s vacuum degasser utilizes the principle of vacuum negative pressure, allowing the drilling fluid to form a thin film or atomized state within the vacuum tank. This greatly increases the gas–liquid contact area, enabling the gas within the mud to separate and discharge rapidly, thereby effectively restoring the density and performance of the drilling fluid. When processing gas-cut drilling fluid, the equipment can reduce the gas content to a safe range within a very short time, providing strong assurance for the smooth operation of the mud circulation system.

To adapt to the complex and variable conditions of drilling sites, Kosun has comprehensively enhanced the structural design and material selection of the degasser. The inner wall of the vacuum tank is made of high-strength, wear-resistant stainless steel, capable of withstanding long-term erosion from high-sand, high-viscosity drilling fluids. The vacuum pump adopts an oil-bath lubrication system, ensuring stable operation even under extremely cold or high-temperature environments. Field practice has proven that the equipment maintains excellent degassing efficiency and mechanical reliability even under conditions of high-load, continuous operation.
Driven by the trends of automation and digitalization, Xi’an Kosun continues to enhance the intelligence level of its vacuum degasser. By integrating sensor and control modules, the equipment can monitor vacuum pressure, processing flow rate, and gas content in the mud in real time, and automatically adjust its operating state based on the data—achieving precise control and energy-efficient performance. For drilling sites requiring remote management, the system also supports remote monitoring and parameter adjustment, significantly reducing operator workload and improving operational safety.
Notably, Kosun’s vacuum degasser adopts a modular design concept, allowing flexible configuration for different drilling conditions. Whether it is onshore conventional drilling, shale gas wells, or offshore platform operations, the equipment can quickly adapt to various environments. For special working conditions, Xi’an Kosun also offers customized solutions such as corrosion resistance and high-temperature protection, meeting customer needs across different regions and fluid types. The equipment can be directly connected to various mud tanks and circulation systems, featuring easy installation, low maintenance costs, and greatly enhanced operational convenience and system compatibility.
With years of technical expertise and field experience in the solids control equipment industry, Xi’an Kosun’s vacuum degasser has been successfully applied in numerous domestic and international drilling projects, earning widespread customer recognition. It not only effectively reduces the impact of gas in drilling fluids on system performance but also provides strong technical support for operational safety and cost control.
As the oil and gas industry advances toward intelligent and green development, Xi’an Kosun will continue to deepen its focus on solids control technology, promoting the innovation and upgrading of vacuum degassing equipment to deliver safer, more efficient solutions for drilling clients worldwide..
