Topic:
Multiphase Pumping – The Role of Multiphase Pumps in the Latter Era of the Oil & Gas Age
Presenters:
Clive Whilde - Rotating Equipment Specialist, SAVIA Consulting
Xavier Gaillard - Multiphase Pump Specialist, Sulzer Pumps
Description:
The comparatively new technology of Helico-Axial Centrifugal Multiphase Pumps is still relatively unknown to many in the Oil & Gas industry. This pumping technology can handle everything that can emerge from a well; boosting oil, water, gas and solids to compensate for the natural decline in well-head pressure which in turn increases production, maintains the parameters of downstream processing plant and increases recovery over the life of the field.
If we consider Oil & Gas Production within the parameters of a greener, more environmentally friendly, lower waste society, then a machine that can extract more oil from an existing field or that can contain and transport hydrocarbons away from environmentally sensitive areas with only a small footprint surely has a more significant place in the industry. As we arrive in the latter stages of the Oil & Gas Age, it’s time to really consider how Multiphase Pumps can make better use of our existing resources for better efficiency of field and deliver a high financial reward compared to investment.
Through the use of existing applications, this seminar will describe the differences between Centrifugal (Helico-Axial) and perhaps the better known Positive Displacement (Twin Screw) machines, their relative strengths, weaknesses and how they can be applied to today’s field conditions.
