Innovative & reliable, low-speed compressor for brownfields
When oil wells get old, they often suffer from gas pressure build-up between casing and tubing of the well.
HOERBIGER electrically-driven Casing Head Compressor – CHCe – helps oil producers safely and cost-efficiently release the casing gas from the well and inject it further into the pipe system.
Once installed the Casing Head Compressor brings the following benefits:
Increased oil production due to pressure drop in the well
Improved pump regime and decreased pump wear due to higher liquid level
Decreased number of gas lock issues in pumps
No casing gas venting on site
HOERBIGER CHCe features a single-stage, double-acting cylinder, driven by a low-speed & low-power motor, which makes it a perfect fit for brownfield operations.
