Highlights
Benefits
- Improves gas liquid separation in high GLR wells
- Reduces gas locking and unstable operating conditions
- Lowers pump intake pressure to support deeper drawdown
- Extends ESP run life and improves production stability
- Expands ESP applicability into wells with elevated gas content
Applications
- Unconventional wells with high gas liquid ratios
- Mature fields with increasing gas content
- Wells experiencing gas interference or frequent ESP shutdowns
- ESP installations where gas limits drawdown or production efficiency
Overview
High gas‑liquid ratios (GLR) can limit ESP performance—causing gas interference, unstable operations, and reduced drawdown. The Boosted GasSep™ gas separator from Baker Hughes improves gas‑liquid separation ahead of the pump, enabling more reliable ESP operation in high‑gas environments.
By expanding ESP capability into higher‑GLR applications, the Boosted GasSep helps maximize production while extending system run life.
How it works
Boosted GasSep enhances conventional gas separation by optimizing internal flow paths and increasing internal pressure within the separator. This design minimizes free gas at the pump intake—helping stabilize flow and improve motor cooling, even under variable or severe gas conditions.
