MGH
Multiphase gas-handling system
Increase production, improve reservoir life, and efficiently manage higher percentages of free gas in gassy wells.
Reda Multiphase HPS
Horizontal multistage surface pump
Able to handle up to 90% gas volume fraction and used for zero-flaring well tests, well cleanup, and production boosting
Overview
Maximize efficiency for crude oil production and pipeline transport without phase separation
Reda Multiphase HPS™ horizontal multistage surface pump improves the efficiency of boosting and transporting unprocessed crude oil and gas, eliminating the need for phase separation. Because it addresses the limitations of conventional surface centrifugal pumps, the Reda Multiphase HPS pump is ideal for zero-flaring operations to enhance production from wells and transfer raw gas and commingled oil fluids to a central processing facility.
In addition to eliminating costs of wellhead equipment and separators, the technology enables wells to produce at a lower wellhead flowing pressure, facilitating more aggressive reservoir drawdown that increases oil recovery.
Emissions Reduction
Monetizes gas instead of flaring it by pumping multiphase fluids to a central processing facility and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 99%*.
Meet Your Production Goals
Produces at lower wellhead flowing pressure for more aggressive reservoir drawdown.
End Wellhead Separation
Eliminates storage tanks and trucking by using pipelines with multiphase boosting to a central processing facility.
Applications
- Boosting of fluid with high gas volume fraction (GVF)
- Crude gas or liquid effluent transfer
- Well unloading and production boosting
- Zero-flaring well testing operations
- Water-alternating-gas injection
Benefits
Reda Multiphase HPS pump boosts commingled gas and liquids without separation.
Efficient boosting of multiphase fluids to central processing facilities, without the need for conventional gas separation equipment, can eliminate routine gas flaring. Eliminating gas flaring contributes to a substantial reduction in CO2 and CH4 greenhouse gas emissions and enables monetization of the gas.
Features
The Reda Multiphase HPS pump design is an enhancement of the reliable Reda HPS horizontal multistage surface pumping system, using axial stages based on the field-proven MGH multiphase gas-handling system. The pump efficiently boosts crude oil with gas content up to 90% in continuous operations.
Assembled pumps are delivered to your site, ready for operations. Each pump is instrumented for remote monitoring of crucial operating parameters to protect equipment and analyze performance.
The design facilitates rapid maintenance for reduced downtime via improved configuration of pumps, thrust chamber, seal, and motor.
Flow rates from 3,150 to 50,000 bbl/d [500 to 8,000 m3/d]
Gas volume fraction up to 90%
Max. boost pressure 900 psi [6,200 kPa]
*The qualification is based on well test and well unloading operations in 19 wells with CO2e emissions reductions up to 99.6% comparing conventional service set up with separator and gas flaring versus Reda Multiphase HPS pump power consumption to boost all liquid and gas to the production line without gas flaring.
Decarbonize Your Operations
The Reda Multiphase HPS horizontal multistage surface pump is part of Transition Technologies portfolio and minimizes carbon footprint by reducing or eliminating flaring. This portfolio of technologies provides alternative solutions that avoid flaring while driving high performance, reliability, and efficiency.
