Shorter ESP strings
Eliminates the need for tandem separator configurations, reducing system length and complexity.
Delivering reliable ESP performance in high gas/liquid ratio wells
The Nebula™ advanced ESP gas separator is engineered to maximize ESP performance in oil wells with high gas content or elevated gas/liquid ratios. Designed for both onshore and offshore applications, the Nebula advanced ESP gas separator delivers industry-leading gas separation efficiency and reliability.
Applications
- Onshore and onshore wells
- Conventional and unconventional wells
- Gassy oil wells where annular gas production is permitted
- Wells transitioning from gas lift to ESP
- Gas well dewatering
Benefits
- Handles up to 10,000 bbl/d maximum flow capacity
- Achieves up to 99% separation efficiency
- Replaces the need for a tandem configuration
- Enables shorter ESP strings by reducing gas‑related degradation in pump stages
- Extends ESP run life by decreasing cycling in gassy wells
- Increases well uptime by reducing gas‑lock events
- Boosts production by improving drawdown
Features
- Large intake ports to facilitate higher flow rates and wider flow range
- 3‑stage gas separation system that delivers higher separation efficiency than legacy separators
- Improved bearing design with no support bearing in the flow path and an undercut head to facilitate gas purging—features to minimize pressure losses that affect gas separation
- Upgraded materials to further enhance reliability and run life in harsh environments
- Abrasion-resistant tungsten carbide bearings
- White iron liner with higher chromium content for improved wall erosion resistance
- Designed to handle the complete range of flow rates for 400 Series (4-in-OD) pumps
