Gas slug manager for high temperature applications

The Hydro Helical Slugger HT manages gas slug events in unconventional and SAGD wells by providing excess liquid reservoirs, both internally and externally.  Additionally, by design, it reduces the expelled gas recirculation back to the exit ports.

Gas slug mitigation

  • High-performance components are designed to handle high gas volume fractions (GVF) across a wide operating range
  • High-volume rotating intake reduces fluid velocity at the intake to encourage natural fluid phase separation and reduce gas ingestion into the system
  • Significantly expanded internal liquid reservoirs deliver a continuous stream of liquid to the pump during a slugging event
  • Turbine stage fluid movers reduce gas locking
  • Extended length reduces the recirculation of gas and mitigates the reformation of gas slugs
  • Downstream-directed gas exit ports further reduce the recirculation of gas
  • Exclusive stage technology reduces up-thrust 

High temperature

  • Hydro-Helical Slugger HT built as a compression separator to extend run life
  • Each non-rotating part is pinned for thermal expansion protection
  • Exclusive T-Lock AR bearings used throughout enhance erosion protection and extend run life
  • Special three-piece metal cam lock technology protects against erosion and the thermal expansion of different materials
  • Modified shafting provides expansion protection
  • Enhanced internal flow design provides erosion defense

Exclusive Technology

New gas separation system combines three exclusive technologies

  • At the intake, the system uses a high-volume rotating component which reduces gas ingestion into the system
  • The extended length reduces the circulation of gas and provides a continuous stream of liquid to the pump when a gas slug hits
  • Every component is enhanced for high-temperature applications
