Horizontal surface pumping system
Modular flexibility for demanding surface fluid transfer
Overview
Proven reliability and life cycle efficiency to overcome surface pumping challenges
Remote and unmanned production environments often struggle with equipment reliability, fluctuating volume demands, and operational efficiency. The third-generation Reda HPS™ horizontal multistage surface pumping system is engineered to meet these challenges, and its reliability, scalability, and flexibility have been proven over thousands of deployments worldwide. Designed with a modular footprint and proven single-stage pump technology, it delivers high efficiency across variable loads and reduces unplanned downtime. Whether for water or CO2 injection, fluid transfer, or pressure boosting, this surface pumping system ensures continuous, energy-efficient operation while optimizing life cycle costs.
The Reda HPS pumping system has been effectively deployed in a range of production scenarios because its modular design provides reliability and scalability while reducing costs.

The Reda HPS pumping system enhances EOR efficiency by maximizing oil recovery and reducing energy consumption with high-efficiency motors and optimized controls. Its durable, modular design ensures reliability while offering scalability, flexibility, and reduced downtime to lower operational costs.
Benefits
Increases uptime and operational flexibility while reducing costs
Improves equipment uptime
with proven pump stages and rugged motor designs validated across thousands of deployments. A Texas midstream operator replaced a high-maintenance surface pump with a Reda HPS pumping system, reducing pump maintenance downtime by 95%, more than doubling throughput.
Reduces total cost of ownership
via extended run life and fewer moving parts compared with reciprocating or diesel-driven systems.
Adapts to changing flow requirements
thanks to modular, field-configurable pump stages. In Gabon, a Reda HPS pumping system configuration quadrupled the operator’s waterflood capability without the need for infrastructure changes.
A modular design, increased reliability, and a large operating range make the third-generation Reda HPS pumping system an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
