GAS Compressor

COMLETE SOLUTION

Wellhead compressor units

It is not always possible to install centralized compression, and a single wellhead compressor might be necessary for production. Even with a compressor, wells still might experience liquid loading. To alleviate this problem, a plunger system can be installed in conjunction with wellhead compression. With a gas-engine-driven compressor, the installation is could be difficult.

A gas compressor cannot easily be automated to start and stop, so it is desirable to keep the gas engine running during both the flowing and shut-in periods. When flowing, the compressor simply sends gas to the sales pipeline.


For shut-in periods, a bypass can be installed on the compressor that allows gas to circulate. The controller that operates the motor valve can be used to control an additional sales/bypass valve. To avoid potential problems with this setup, such as overheating of the circulating gas or insufficient supply gas to keep the compressor running, it is necessary to improve the cooling capacity of the compressor.

This type of compressors are designed to use under extreme conditions, commonly skid mounted with roof.
