Gas and solids are two of the biggest issues in rod pumping and ESPs today; proven and advanced technologies are required to combat these issues and keep your pumps running.

Apergy offers a full line of downhole tools to separate gas and solids in the well, enabling increased system run life and enhanced production.

From ESPs moving 5,000+ bpd to stripper wells moving 10 bfpd, Apergy’s line of Downhole tools can meet all of your downhole separation needs.

The table below provides an overview of Apergy’s tools, and which tool to use for your most demanding applications.

Product Applications

The Hybrid-XR™ is designed to increase production outputand decrease maintenance costs from lower volume wells.• All casing sizes - varying tool sizes deployable for 4.5”, 5.5”, 7” casing• Moderate-to-high GLR applications – additional 10’ gas separator added for high GLR applications• Unconventional applications – prone to gas slugging, with moderate-to-high solids content• Conventional applications – tool can be deployed above or below the perforations• Rod Pump Agnostic – deployable with standard API and specialty pumps

Increased Production

Hybrid-XR™ agitates and breaks apart gas-fluid emulsions through a patented baffling action which breaks apart production emulsion. • Liquid and sand gravitate to the spiral separator that extracts sand from the liquid • Sand and solids are deposited in the mud joint • Clean and gas-free production fluid fills the pump intake, resulting in greater pump efficiency and increased production

Decreased Maintenance and Service Costs

• Reduces excessive pump wear, sticking plungers, surface equipment damage, pump and flow line fouling• Longer component life and system up-time • The modular design makes it easy and less costly to transport, assemble, and run • The tools can be disassembled to verify condition. Only damaged and worn elements can be replaced, as needed

During production, naturally occurring gases and formation sand, salt, scale, corrosion and solid contaminants enter the wellbore and create pumping inefficiencies that severely diminish production and can contribute to increased maintenance costs and unnecessary failures. The patented SPIRIT Hybrid-XR™ Gas/Sands/Solids Separator is a simple, effective tool that uses cyclonic motion and internal baffling for superior downhole separation of gas, sands and solids.

Downhole GAS SePARAToR™

over 15.000 units installed globallyThe revolutionary patented SPiRiT Downhole Gas Separator™ puts an end to the efficiency-robbing gas interference in rod pumped oil wells. it is a simple, set-and-forget downhole tool that sits between the packer and rod pump. Using a patented internal baffling system, the tool agitates and breaks apart high GLR emulsions for more effective separation of gas and fluids. The gas exits the tool and is produced up the casing, while pure production fluid is fed from the tool to the pump.

Product Applications

• Production rates with higher GLRs

• Horizontal completions prone to gas slugging

• Higher volume rod lift applications, up to 650 bfpd

• Above the perforation completions

Benefits of Enhanced Gas Separation

• Separates free and entrained gas from the production fluid - patented baffling within the tool breaks gas out of solution

• Eliminates gas locking

• Mitigates gas interference causing poor pump efficiency

• improved pump efficiency enhances overall system performance - potentially allowing the pumping unit to run at slower SPM

How it Works

1. Fluids and gas enter through the bottom of the separator and travel up between the outer and inner tubing

2. Baffles on the inner tubing create turbulence that aids in breaking apart emulsions. Then liquid and gas move upward and out of the top portals.

3. The separated gas flows freely up the casing to the surface

4. Fluid drops down inside of the casing creating an artificial sump

5. Gas-free fluid then enters the pump intake tube and travels up the inner tube

• Conventional or unconventional production with high sand and solids content- either introduced or naturally occurring

• Rod Lift wells experiencing excessive pump wear, fouling pumps, or sticking plungers or valves

• Downhole pump agnostic - APi or specialty pumps

• Tool works with most sand and solids sizes - contact our team when dealing with finer frac sands

• Effectively separates larger solids from production fluid, sending solids into mud joints below the tool

• Reduces excessive pump wear, sticking plungers and valves, fouled pumps and other downhole damage

• Reduces surface tank capacity requirements, flow line fouling, and other surface equipment damage

• Can be run on bottom of a packer-style gas separator for enhanced gas and solids separation

1. Solid-laden production fluids enter the separator intake slots.2. The separator uses centrifugal force to separate solids from

the production fluid. The tool is designed such that a smaller area enables higher centrifugal velocities resulting in better solids separation

3. Solids are directed downward into the mud joints Produced fluid travels upward, either into the pump intake or into the gas separation stage

4. The number of recommended mud joints is based on estimated or proven solids production from that well.
