Multiphase pumping

Full-field multiphase pump projects: field data analysis, feasibility study, pump selection and installation design, then the management service that keeps the pumps producing - surveillance, operating data optimisation, and preventive and corrective maintenance with fault analysis and repair.

Scope

What the package covers.

  • 01
    Field data analysis by the specialist partner's engineers, producing a comprehensive recommendation for the field rather than a pump quotation.
  • 02
    Feasibility study covering where multiphase pumping pays back and where it does not.
  • 03
    Multiphase pump selection against the field's gas fraction, viscosity, pressure profile and expected decline.
  • 04
    Installation design, including the tie-ins to the gathering system and power.
  • 05
    Management service after start-up: pump surveillance and operating data optimisation.
  • 06
    Preventive and corrective maintenance, with fault analysis and repair by the same team that selected the pump.

Multiphase pumping fails on selection far more often than on the pump. The analysis phase is where the project is won or lost, which is why it is a deliverable in its own right.
