THE BEAM GAS COMPRESSOR™ in ACTION
The Beam Gas Compressor™ is a Beam-Mounted gas compressor based on a simple
theory. If the back pressure on the formation face of a well is reduced, additional oil and
gas will enter the well bore and the well’s productivity will increase. It’s a theory that
works. Payback can be as little as one month.
The Beam Gas Compressor™ enables a pump jack to bring more oil to the surface with
each stroke. The beam-mounted compressor utilizes the energy from the pumping unit to
drive the compressor, thus eliminating additional motors or engines as drivers.
Produced with high-grade alloys and engineered with advanced technology, it has been
proven in the field to vastly improve the production levels of many existing wells.
This is the industry’s first double-acting, beam mounted gas compressor. Operated by
the walking beam of a conventional pump jack unit, it compresses gas on both the up
stroke and down stroke. (We have been utilizing this concept since 1980 over thirty
years.) It requires the same amount of energy and thus does not upset the balance of
the pumping unit. Its main function is to draw gas from the casing side of an oil well and
discharge it into the flow line. By doing so it actually reduces the back pressure on the
formation face, allowing additional oil to enter the wellbore for production.
Marginal, as well as, those with high productivity wells, are candidates for dramatic
improvement from the Beam Gas Compressors™ capabilities. Depending on the well,
this productivity increase can be the result of one or more of these factors:
•
Increased efficiency of the down hole pump
•
Decrease of back pressure on the formation
•
Reduction of gas locking in the down hole pump
•
Purging of fluids in the flow line
•
Can be used in sour gas applications
•
Can solve solution or flare gas problems
•
Units are sold complete, with all mounting brackets and hardware
•
Transferable to other pumping units
•
Easily installed in 6–8 hours
•
Environmentally friendly — no motors or engines required to drive the compressor
•
Quiet operation
•
Inexpensive to maintain compared to small wellhead compressors
