ABS MagneGuard

ABS MagneGuard™

While Permanent Magnet Motor-Driven ESPs are widely used for fluid extraction, they also pose a significant risk of electric shock to field personnel. The FET Multilift Solutions ABS MagneGuard™ provides essential protection against this hazard, enabling the safe operation of PMM-driven ESP systems.

PM motors generate significant voltage up the cable when the motor shaft is rotated by hydraulic action. This exposes personnel to serious dangers when working on exposed cables and switchgear during workovers and maintenance. Tragically, field personnel handling PM motors on site have suffered severe electric shock and even death.

Until now, the most common mitigation method for electric shock risks is shorting out the cable at the surface – leading to many vulnerable risks during installation and pulling. The ABS MagneGuard automatically provides a reliable and efficient elimination of all risk, without the need for manual interventions or special procedures.

Features

  • Regardless of the ESP manufacturer, ABS MagneGuard adapts to all ESP configurations and manufacturers providing ease of use and peace of mind when installing any permanent magnet motor.
  • Installed on top of the pump head and doesn’t interfere with the ESP system.
  • Prevents any rotation of the pump and motor shafts caused by the passage of fluid through the pump when the motor is deactivated, such as during RIH and fallback situations.

Benefits

  • Personnel Safety: Removes human element doubt by automatically eliminating risk to personnel.
  • Cost savings: Negates the need for third-party services on site, also minimizing rig time needed for special operations and procedures.
  • Simplicity: Bolt on to any manufacturer’s pump
  • Enhanced Operations: Removes the most critical barrier to universal adoption of PMMs.

Chemical Injection Centralizer

Corrosion Protection with Chemical Injection Centralizer

Preventing the adverse effects of wellbore corrosion is an ongoing battle during production operations. While highly effective, chemical injection for corrosion protection also creates a a dilemma in that injecting too little may not stop the corrosion or buildup, but adding too much wastes product and can create downstream emulsion issues.

When installed below electric submersible pump (ESP) motors, our chemical injection centralizer serves as an ESP system centralizer with the additional capability of a chemical injection system. The uniform 360-degree spray ensures even dispersion that reduces the risks of single-dispersion injections while enhancing ESP performance and reliability. Additionally, the centralization function of the chemical injection centralizer allows equal spacing between the motor and casing, which provides equal flow paths for the production fluid to flow – preventing hotspots in the motor and increasing ESP motor cooling.

  • Improves chemical treatment by uniform dispersion
  • Improves efficiency of ESP motor cooling
  • Reduces risk of corrosion spots from single-dispersion injection

GasGuard®

Gas slugs develop under numerous production conditions resulting in various circumstances including changes in reservoir conditions, changes in production strategy (EOR/IOR) and changes in production rates. Despite the situation, slugging is one of the most widely faced issues in the oil and gas industry. This is especially true for unconventional wells produced with artificial lift technologies including electric submersible pumps (ESPs) that can experience significant increases in operation costs and capital expenses due to lost production, damaged equipment and inefficient operational envelopes which in turn lead to differed incremental production that could be captured in an optimized ESP system.

The best solution is prevention: disrupting gas slugs before they disrupt production.

FET presents the patent-pending Forum GasGuard®, which breaks down/infuses gas slugs before they reach an ESP system, creating an uninterrupted flow of liquid through the pump and eliminating slug flow. The result is a more consolidated, continuous production stream with higher liquid content leading to increased motor cooling and improved ESP performance with fewer shutdowns. With a streamlined, simplified design, FET’s GasGuard represents a new paradigm of protection against unpredictable gas slugs.

Our GasGuard® is part of FET’s extensive Multilift Solutions suite of artificial lift solutions.

Applications

  • Unconventional wells
  • Steam-assisted gravity drainage wells
  • Wells with severe gas slugging
  • ESPs, rod pumps, progressing cavity pumps, hydraulic piston/linear pumps

Cyclone

Cyclone ESP leverages proven vortex technology as part of a superior sand protection system. Applicable to onshore, offshore, deviated or horizontal wells, it prevents sand damage, extends pump run life and dramatically lowers lease operating expenses.

With one size for all flow rates, Cyclone easily retrofits to any ESP well. Because it rests directly below the pump, installation requires no downhole preparation. The high-efficiency centrifugal action separates a wider range of grain size than sand screens, sending de-sanded fluid to the pump and solids to a tailpipe below. With special metallurgical construction and no moving parts, Cyclone’s vortex technology avoids the erosion and plugging issues of traditional sand screens to provide exceptional sand control.

Features and Benefits
  • Protects ESPs from sand damage.
  • Extends run life to dramatically lower lease operating expenses.
  • Minimizes or eliminates costly workovers, ESP replacements and lost production.
  • Installs easily, featuring high reusability and one-size-fits-all casing weights.
  • Allows field change of rubber elements.
  • Enables quick change and rerun without leaving rig floor.
  • Eliminates need to rotate motor or tailpipe.

Cross Coupling Protector

Downhole cables are especially vulnerable during installation and retrieval. Our cross-coupling protectors support virtually any configuration of control lines, electric submersible pumps, umbilical lines or encapsulated bundles in the wellbore. The protector’s channel shields cables and lines as they transition across the coupling, helping to prevent damage during installation or retrieval of completions. The compressive fit design accommodates oversize or undersize tubing per American Petroleum Institute specs and securely engages the cable or lines to the tubing.

For your most challenging well environments, Super 25 cross-coupling protectors provide the same functionality as our standard protectors with the added benefit of superior corrosion resistance.
