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  It’s the GREEN MACHINE
