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 centrifugal 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.

Borets ESP fitted with gas handlers can be used for maximizing drawdown to
enhance production rates, liquid loading gas wells, and CBM applications.

MNG Series, Rotary and Vortex Gas Separators

Gas separators are designed to provide stable operation of submersible centrifugal 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.

MND Series Disperser

Maximum GOR at the intake is 55%.
Dispersers are designed to initially reduce the size of the gas bubbles and then change the distribution of the
gas into a more homogeneous flow regime for the pump.
Depending on the design, disperser can be installed instead of pump intake, above pump intake or above gas
separator.

MNGD Series Gas Separator-Disperser

Gas separator-disperser is the combination of a gas separator and disperser which are placed on a common
shaft. This combination allows the electric submersible pump to operate steadily at the maximum GOR of 68% at
the intake.
Formation fluid enters a separation chamber and is separated into liquid and gas. Separated gas is vented to
the annulus, while remaining oil and gas mixture is directed to the dispersing chamber and then transformed into
a more homogeneous flow regime for the pump.
The base and protective liner of gas handling units are made of stainless steel that ensures increased resistance to hydro-abrasive wear. The gas handling units use tungsten carbide radial bearings. All joints are provided
with rubber rings and fluorpolymer flat gaskets to prevent them from gas leakage and further breaking.
