WHIRLAWAY Gas Handlers

In wells with high gas volumes in the fluid stream you need solutions that keep production on line. WHIRLAWAY™ gas handlers are designed to manage more than 40% free gas before it can enter the pump, improving the performance of your UNBRIDLED^® ESP Systems.

Keep gas out, keep production pumping

Increase ESP up time

Mitigate shutdowns due to gas locking.

Improve drawdown

Lower reservoir pressure to increase reserve recovery.

Enhance ESP reliability

Minimize wear and tear from gas locking shut downs.

Vortex gas separator

Ideal for harsh downhole conditions and initial high flow rates
Flow rates from 75 BPD to 6,500 BPD
Up to 97% efficient
Enhanced hardened bearings in the head, base, and middle of the separator
- Limits erosion due to abrasives in the fluid stream
- Provides superior radial support to limit vibration
Better solids handling with fewer mechanical parts

Rotary gas separator

Ideal for conventional wells with high gas-to-oil ratios
Flow rates from 75 BPD to 6,500 BPD
Up to 90% efficient with a single unit; tandem configuration improves efficiency to up to 99%
Enhanced hardened bearings in the head and base for greater radial stabilization to reduce vibration and the impact of abrasives

GKX gas handling equipment

Conditions fluid before it enters the pump
Homogenizes the fluid and increases pressure to break up large gas slugs and to keep gas in solution
Handles fluids with more than 40% free gas
Features corrosion- and abrasion-resistant metallurgy

Keep your options open

All wells are not created equal, so it’s good to have options. UNBRIDLED ESP Systems offers rotary and vortex gas separators to effectively isolate and expel free gas before it can enter the pump and cause shut downs due to gas locking. And the WHIRLAWAY GKX gas handling equipment provides even greater protection for your pump.
