Downhole Gas Compression - Ground Breaking Technology
Downhole Gas Compression (DGC) is an entirely new powered artificial lift technology that will serve an as yet unrealised opportunity within the gas extraction industry. The technology increases production and recovery factor even for wet wells. It may be applied at any time during the life of a well. Due to the increased reservoir drawdown and its demonstrated multi-phase capabilities, it would offer an excellent solution for wells suffering from liquid loading. It may also be used to extend the life of a gas field and hence delay decommissioning.
Corac has used its established Industrial Air concept to develop a technological solution for the oil and gas industry's recognised problem of maximising gas extraction from brownfield sites.
Corac is now trialling technology which could increase production by 30 to 50% and enable gas extraction from otherwise uneconomic sites.
A unique opportunity
With the work it has carried out to date, Corac has clearly demonstrated that by combining proven technologies from other industrial sectors with some key innovations, a new, game changing technology for production enhancement for a wide range of gas assets could soon be available to gas operators.
Corac, the JIP and BakerHughes are keen to attract further gas operators interested in fields trials. Please contact us for further information.
