Multiphase pumps boost the full well stream, a mixture of oil-water-gas-solid particles, through one pipeline, from the well cluster to a central facility. This with the objective to reduce cost and to control/increase production. This full well stream pumping will eliminate at well clusters: • Separators • Gas compressors & flare • Storage tanks • Separate liquid pumps • Field installed vapor recovery systems
Benefits of multiphase boosting:
- Reduce CAPEX
• Allows single flow line to central facility • Decreases Capital Cost of developing remote location • Reduces equipment footprint; lowering construction cost • Can consolidate multiple tank batteries
- Reduce OPEX
• Lowering and maintaining stable wellhead pressure could increase production • No separator to maintain and inspect • Less tank inspection and maintenance cost • No compressor to maintain and inspect • Reduces piping maintenance and inspection
- Reduce environmental risk
• Eliminates gas flaring • Reduce spill potential • Smaller footprint reduces natural habitat disturbances.
