Patent number: 10180396Abstract: A method for analyzing a gas sample conveyed in a drilling fluid involves liberating the gas sample from the drilling fluid, irradiating the gas sample with infrared radiation spanning a wavelength range in the near-infrared range, detecting absorption spectra associated with irradiating the gas sample, and determining a composition of the gas sample from the absorption spectra. The gas sample includes one or more of methane, ethane, propane, and butane, the detected absorption spectra are associated with irradiating each of the one or more of methane, ethane, propane, and butane, and the composition includes a concentration of any one or more of the methane, ethane, propane, and butane.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2016Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: Parson Systems CorporationInventors: Jason Alexander DeGreeve, Sean William Lyons Unrau, Marceau Ernest van Beurden, Ryan Henricus van Beurden

Patent number: 9651481Abstract: A gas trap includes a sample enclosure, a bubbler enclosure, an agitator, and a brushless, DC motor. The sample enclosure has a liquid inlet, a gas sample outlet, and a sample enclosure wall with a sample enclosure wall portion and a shared wall portion. The bubbler enclosure has a bubbler air inlet, a bubbler air outlet, and a bubbler enclosure wall with a bubbler enclosure wall portion and the shared wall portion. The sample and bubbler enclosures are fluidly coupled through the shared wall portion so that sufficiently pressurized bubbler air entering through the bubbler air inlet maintains the drilling fluid in the sample enclosure at a level determined by the location of the bubbler air outlet when the liquid inlet and the bubbler air outlet are both submerged in the drilling fluid.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2014Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: PASON SYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: Jason Alexander DeGreeve, Sean William Lyons Unrau, Marceau Ernest van Beurden, Ryan Henricus van Beurden

Publication number: 20110308391Abstract: Described herein are a method and apparatus for analyzing a gas sample that is conveyed in a drilling fluid, and a method and apparatus for liberating gases from drilling fluid. The gas sample contains one or more of methane, ethane, propane, and butane; optionally, the gas sample may also contain pentane. The gas sample is first liberated from the drilling fluid, following which it is irradiated with infrared radiation in the near-infrared range. Absorption spectra resulting from absorption of the infrared radiation by the one or more of methane, ethane, propane and butane is simultaneously detected. From the absorption spectra, the composition of the gas sample can be determined. The composition includes a concentration of any one or more of the methane, ethane, propane and butane. Linearity of absorption is increased by using relatively short wavelength infrared radiation centred on, for example, about 1.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2010Publication date: December 22, 2011Applicant: PASON SYSTEMS CORP.Inventors: Jason Alexander DeGreeve, Sean William Lyons Unrau, Marceau Ernest van Beurden, Ryan Henricus van Beurden
