ESP SandGuard

SandGuard® ESP Sand Management System

Developed by FET | Multilift Solutions, SandGuard® is a sand management system designed to address solids fallback—one of the leading causes of Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) failures.

Installed at the pump discharge, SandGuard captures and isolates sand and solids during shutdown events, preventing damage during restart. With thousands of installations, the system has demonstrated the ability to extend ESP run life and reduce failures in sand-laden wells.

The Sand Fallback Problem

ESPs operate in environments where production fluids often contain sand, gas, and water. During shutdown events, solids in the production tubing fall back and settle on top of the pump system.

When the ESP restarts under these conditions:

  • Sand accumulation causes hard starts (rock starts)
  • Increased amperage and mechanical stress occur
  • Damage to internal components can happen, including shafts and electrical systems
  • Repeated events reduce efficiency and shorten ESP run life

In some cases, these conditions can lead to catastrophic failure and costly workovers.

Sand management system in the USA

How SandGuard Works

SandGuard prevents solids fallback damage through a combination of capture, isolation, and controlled flushing:

  • Captures and isolates solids — A dedicated chamber traps sand and debris above the pump.
  • Diverts fallback from the pump — A ball seat mechanism redirects solids away from the pump intake.
  • Self-cleaning during restart — Dynamic flow ports agitate and flush trapped solids back to the surface. 

This process ensures a cleaner restart and reduces stress on the ESP system.

KEY BENEFITS

  • Extends ESP run life in sand-laden environments
  • Prevents damage caused by solids fallback
  • Reduces unplanned downtime and workovers
  • Minimizes startup stress during restart cycles 
  • Protects pump efficiency and production output
  • Compatible with a wide range of ESP flow rates
  • Designed for extreme downhole conditions

FEATURES

  • Cleanable and reusable design
  • Multiple configurations for various casing sizes
  • Effective across a wide range of particle sizes
  • Available with standard or custom connections
  • Installs at the pump discharge without complex modifications
  • Eliminates annulus communication

APPLICATIONS

SandGuard is designed for use across multiple well conditions:

  • ESP installations
  • Onshore and offshore wells
  • Horizontal and deviated wells
  • Sand-producing reservoirs

SYSTEM INTEGRATION

GasGuard®

Stop Gas Slugging Before It Slows You Down

Gas slugging rarely stays resolved for long. It can return when conditions change, such as declining reservoir pressure, shifting production rates, or rising gas-liquid ratios. Once it begins, it can quickly affect the well performance.

If you’re running an ESP in a high gas-liquid ratio (GLR) environment, you’ve probably witnessed it firsthand. Gas slugs move through the wellbore, hit the pump intake, and suddenly you’re dealing with gas interference, gas lock, and lost production. What should be a steady system turns into a cycle of shutdowns, restarts, and troubleshooting.

It’s a common problem across artificial lift, but that doesn’t make it any less costly.

What if You Could Stop Gas Slugging at the Source?

Most ESP gas-handling and gas-separation technologies are designed to deal with gas only after it becomes a problem by separating it, venting it, or trying to manage it through the pump.

GasGuard® takes a different approach.

Instead of relying solely on traditional downhole gas separation or gas-handling devices, GasGuard operates earlier in the process, when gas slugs form. It breaks apart large slugs and conditions the flow, so gas stays distributed within the liquid stream.

By the time fluids reach your ESP, you’re not fighting big pockets of gas anymore, because you’ve got a smoother, more stable flow.

Chemical Injection Centralizer

What That Means in the Field

When you reduce gas slugging at the pump intake, everything starts working the way it should:

  • Fewer gas lock events in your ESP
  • More consistent production from gassy wells
  • Improved ESP performance and uptime
  • Better motor cooling from a stronger liquid column
  • Less wear on equipment caused by gas interference

You’re not just reacting to slugging, you’re preventing it.

Simple by Design. Reliable Where It Counts.

A lot of gas-handling equipment for ESP systems adds complexity with moving parts, tighter tolerances, and more maintenance. GasGuard keeps it simple:

  • No moving parts
  • No complicated adjustments
  • Simple installation on the production string
  • Built for harsh downhole conditions

It’s essentially a downhole flow conditioning tool that does its job without becoming another problem to manage.

Works Alongside Your Existing ESP Setup

GasGuard isn’t here to replace everything else. It makes what you already have work better. It integrates easily with:

In many cases, it can even reduce how hard those systems have to work or how many you need in the first place.

Where It Makes the Biggest Difference

GasGuard is especially effective in wells where gas slugging and gas lock are ongoing issues:

  • Unconventional wells with ESPs
  • SAGD and high-temperature applications
  • Wells with high GLR or unstable flow regimes

If you’ve been trying to improve ESP performance in gassy wells, this is where you start to see a real shift.

At the End of the Day

There’s no shortage of tools designed for ESP gas handling or gas separation. But most of them are built to deal with gas after it disrupts your system.

GasGuard changes that.

It helps prevent gas slugs from reaching your pump, stabilizes your production, and keeps your ESP running as it was meant to.

Less troubleshooting. Fewer shutdowns. More consistent production.
