Abstract
A gas-separator for separating trapped gases from drilling fluids retrieved from a well-bore being drilled is disclosed. The gas-separator includes a cylindrical separator which is capable of rotating on its longitudinal axis when fluid and gases flow out through fluid ejection ports, which access the center bore of the cylindrical separator. The fluid ejection ports have a narrower cross-section towards the center bore and a wider cross-section at the opposite end, and are preferably aligned substantially tangentially with periphery of center bore, such that outflow of drilling fluid (and gases) from the center bore through the ejection ports induces a rotational torque on the cylindrical separator. Spinning of cylindrical separator enhances the gas-separation effect.
