BORETS COMPANY GAS HANDLING UNITS In recent years, the oil industry has shown a tendency towards complication of well production conditions. It is related to the transition of main oil fields to the late production stage and deepening of well production depth. All that results in downhole temperature rise and solids/GOR increase at the intake of an electric submersible pump. Borets offers gas handling units, such as gas handlers, dispersers and gas separators-dispersers that ensure stable operation of submersible centrifugal pumps in gassy wells. Gas Handlers Gas handlers are designed to ensure stable operation of submersible cen- trifugal pump with gas cut up to 75%. Pump gas handlers disperse gas-liquid mixture and compress associated gas due to a special design of stages only or together with dispersing unit. The gas handler can be installed above the gas separator to address more complicated well conditions (high GOR at the intake). Operating components of gas handlers are made of Ni-resist or powdered materials.

MNG Series, Rotary and Vortex Gas Separators Gas separators are designed to provide stable operation of submersible cen- trifugal pumps with maximum gas cut of 55% at the intake. For improved gas separation, a tandem gas separator is available (with two separation chambers). Maximum GOR at the gas separator intake will be 68%. Gas separators are based on the following principle: the fluid entering the gas separator and running into its vanes is separated into liquid and gas. Separated gas is vented to the annulus and fluid is directed upwards into the pump.
