    Multi-Phase Booster Pump

    Uploaded by

    Himanshu Kesarwani
    The document describes multiphase booster systems for oil and gas production. Multiphase boosters can simplify production facilities by handling both gas and liquids in a single system. They provide benefits like improved cash flow, reduced emissions and operating costs. The systems boost pressure for applications like maintaining well production or rationalizing field facilities. Methods include using a single multiphase pump or combining a pump with a gas compressor for high gas volumes. Candidate wells produce both gas and liquids and may have increasing backpressures or need reduced gas lift. Successful field trials show improved well performance from multiphase boosting.

    Well Manifolds
    Backpressure reduction on wells allowing them to increase
    or maintain production; can lower B/P on downhole pumps

    Field Gathering
    Boost pressure at satellite wellsites to a central facility;
    rationalize existing field facilities

    Early Production Systems


    Use as temporary facility before full development plans are
    complete

    Multiphase Boosting
    ®

    RamPump Multiphase Pump System


    System which includes a multiphase pump, driver,
    piping, valving, instrumentation and controls to handle
    100% of the total volumetric flow.

    Dual Booster Multiphase System


    Process for GVF’s >80% which combines a multiphase Compressor
    pump and a gas compressor, dividing the free gas
    sending it to the compressor and the liquid with
    entrained gas to a multiphase pump. Reduces total BHP
    on high GVF applications.
