What if you could get efficient performance from an artificial lift system without having to worry about gas-related production interruptions?

 

Improve your ESP’s efficiency while maximizing ultimate reservoir recovery

We understand that increasing oil production is the main goal for any operator. We also understand that gas isn’t a steady problem. That’s why having the right set of tools, along with highly intelligent algorithms to manage gassy applications makes a difference when it comes to production. 

While others only speed up the pump, or slow it down, our MaxRate™ gas mitigation software considers eight variables to quickly and efficiently recognize downhole situations as they’re happening and customize your pump speed to optimize production. 

MaxRate software measures things like:



  • Motor temperature
  • Fluid temperature
  • Vibration 
  • Voltage
  • Amperage
  • Current leakage
  • Pump discharge pressure
  • Pump intake pressure


Baker Hughes also utilizes stringent gas map testing for unparalleled production optimization. Our gas maps are performed in a liquid and gas loop to determine pump performance under changing gas conditions, and optimally define gas limitations for every solution. ADD: Standardized gas maps are integrated into Baker Hughes AutographPC software to aid in understanding pump limits to further enhance production.

 

Transform gas challenges into smooth operations with the most comprehensive set of tools to mitigate gas in your ESP – only from Baker Hughes.

AVOID THE GAS

Artificial lift is used to extend the productive life of wells. But, the presence of gas can:

  • Interfere with system reliability caused by cycling and gas locking
  • Interrupt production
  • Limit ultimate recovery

Our proven gas avoiders and our industry-leading phase systems effectively divert gas away from your system, increasing production without harm to your ESP.

 

SEPARATE THE GAS

Specially designed for multiphase fluid wells with high free gas content, gas separators elevate gas handling capabilities of your ESP systems to new levels.

 

HANDLE THE GAS

Gas locks can significantly reduce pump intake pressure (PIP), leading to decreased efficiency and increased downtime. With our pumps, you can process up to 75% free gas without locking at extremely low intake pressures. This not only increases lift efficiency using natural gas lift, but also ensures reliable and uninterrupted oil production.
