ABS MagneGuard

ABS MagneGuard™ — Automatic Safety for PMM-Driven ESP Systems

Permanent Magnet Motor (PMM)-driven ESPs are increasingly used for efficient fluid extraction. They also introduce a serious safety risk: Electric Shock. When the motor shaft rotates due to hydraulic forces, it can generate high voltage along the cable, even when the system is powered down, creating a hazardous environment for field personnel during workovers and maintenance.

FET Multilift Solutions’ ABS MagneGuard™ is engineered to eliminate this risk automatically, providing critical protection and enabling the safe operation of PMM-driven ESP systems. Unlike traditional methods, such as manually shorting the cable at the surface, MagneGuard requires no intervention, reducing human error and enhancing safety.

How It Works

Installed directly on top of the pump head, ABS MagneGuard prevents shaft rotation caused by fluid movement during run-in-hole (RIH), fallback, or other non-operational states. It works seamlessly with any ESP system, regardless of manufacturer, and does not interfere with pump performance.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Personnel Safety: Automatically eliminates the risk of electric shock—no manual steps required.
  • Operational Simplicity: Installs easily with a bolt-on design—no special tools or procedures.
  • Cost Efficiency: Reduces rig time and eliminates the need for third-party safety services.
  • Accelerated PMM Adoption: Removes a key barrier to the widespread use of permanent magnet motors.

Key Features

  • Universal Compatibility: Works with all ESP manufacturers and configurations.
  • Non-Intrusive Design: Mounts above the pump head without altering the system setup.
  • Automatic Protection: Prevents shaft rotation and voltage generation during non-powered states.
  • No Moving Parts: Reliable, maintenance-free operation.

GasGuard®

Tackle Gas Slugging Before It Disrupts Production

Gas slugs can form under a wide range of production conditions, whether due to shifting reservoir dynamics, enhanced oil recovery (EOR/IOR) strategies, or fluctuating production rates. Regardless of the cause, slugging remains one of the most persistent and costly challenges in the oil and gas industry.

This issue is particularly critical in unconventional wells that utilize artificial lift technologies, such as electric submersible pumps (ESPs). Gas slugs can lead to lost production, equipment damage, and increased operational costs, ultimately delaying the incremental production that optimized ESP systems are designed to capture.

The Best Solution Is Prevention

That’s where FET Multilift Solutions steps in. Our patent-pending GasGuard® neutralizes gas slugs before they reach the ESP system. By breaking down and infusing gas slugs into the liquid stream, GasGuard ensures a smooth, uninterrupted flow through the pump. The result? A more stable production stream with higher liquid content, improved motor cooling, and enhanced ESP performance with fewer shutdowns and lower maintenance costs.

With its streamlined, no-moving-parts design, GasGuard sets a new standard in gas slug protection.
