• The HyBGC can offer significant capital cost

savings and better economics over traditional

reciprocal compression units as it offers a longer

stroke length than standard units and a simpler

method of transferring energy to the

compression cylinder. Its ability to provide the

benefits of the Beam Gas Compressor with the

ease of operation provided by hydraulics allows

for a great combination when a pumping unit is

not working a well.

Applications

•The HyBGC is installed on oil wells to relieve restricting back pressure

caused by production facilities and sales line pressure. Back pressure in

the casing restricts the formations oil and gas production.

•The HyBGC is used to increase gas sales on wells with low bottom hole

pressures by pushing gas into the sales line.

•The HyBGC is utilized to capture and compress vented gas into the sales

line, allowing the operator to comply with EPA requirements.

•The HyBGC makes marginal wells profitable where an increase in

production could mean the difference between making a profit or showing

a loss.

•The HyBGC is manufactured to operate in extreme sour gas situations

and also HIGH TEMPERATURE

Installation

HyBGC easily installs on

the casing-atmosphere

side of the wellhead and

the flow line side of the

check valve on the

casing- flow line side.


Denver, Colorado

12

ESP application

For an ESP to operate there

must be a differential between

intake and discharge the

HyBGC provides stimulus to the

gas to vacate the casing and

thus provide that differential

The Hydraulic Beam Gas Compressor™ HyBGC

Increase or decrease stroke per

minute with adjustment using Allen

wrench on set screws for up and

down movement. Best way to

speed up or slow down unit with

Pause feature

Pressure should be set at 1100 PSI

Operating pressure will fluctuate

with demand on the unit.

Gauge should be isolated unless

needed to measure pressure. This

will minimize leaks possibly caused

by the gauge in long term usage

15

Environmental Advantage

Since the gas is sealed from

the drive cylinder there is no

leakage of gas from the

compression process itself.


Denver, Colorado

16

Economics

The HyBGC offers greater value and a

quicker ROI than other recip

compressors mainly do to the

comparatively slower speed that we

can operate to provide the greatest

compression

Pumping unit to small for a Beam Gas Compressor.

Installation of a HyBGC provided increase of fluid

that justified installing a larger pumping unit and a

beam gas compressor

Conclusion

Increasing production by Wellhead

compression and the Beam Gas

Compressor are proven concepts and

that now can be utilized on virtually any

style well be it onshore or off shore.
