FIELD: equipment for reservoir gas presence in drilling mud flow passing via well during well drilling.
SUBSTANCE: device comprises at least on sensing chamber to be connected to drilling string for well drilling. Each sensing chamber contains taken gas volume and comprises membrane wall for reservoir gas penetration from drilling mud flow in sensing chamber. Sensor provides determination of said gas volume characteristics change caused by reservoir gas penetration from drilling mud flow in sensing chamber through membrane wall.
EFFECT: increased reliability and accuracy of gas detection.
