High-Pressure Gas Lift - Flowco, Inc.

Maximized Output, Minimized Operating Costs

Flowco’s HPGL system delivers production volumes comparable to those of ESPs while dramatically reducing the likelihood of problems downhole. With 100% of the lift system located on the surface, you can avoid downhole failures that can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Our HPGL system ensures you maximize production while minimizing non-productive time (NPT) and overall cost of ownership.

Why Choose Flowco’s High-Pressure Gas Lift?

Engineered for Tough Environments

Flowco’s HPGL systems are designed to tackle the challenges of today’s unconventional wells. Whether you’re dealing with high Gas-Oil Ratio (GOR) wells, sandy formations, or highly deviated wellbores, our HPGL technology is up to the task. Unlike ESPs, which are prone to failure in these harsh conditions, our surface-based system keeps your operations running smoothly, even in the most challenging environments.

Flexible Power Options

HPGL offers unmatched flexibility, especially in remote locations. Running on natural gas, these systems are not tethered to a power grid, making them ideal for wells without nearby infrastructure. And if you prefer electric power, we offer electric drive options, ensuring you have the right solution for your specific needs.

How Does High-Pressure Gas Lift Work?

HPGL may sound complex, but the process is simple and highly effective. Compressed natural gas is injected down the production string, requiring no valves or mandrels. The gas exits the tubing and "u-tubes" up the annulus. This reduces the fluid column density and bottom-hole pressure, allowing the fluids to be lifted through the larger annulus flow area, enabling higher production rates.

This setup delivers significant cost savings. By removing downhole equipment, you eliminate the main cause of ESP failures and the costly repairs they require. Additionally, with the entire system managed from the surface, maintenance becomes easier and downtime is minimized.

Why Choose Flowco’s HPGL System?

Reach aggressive production outputs in tough conditions while eliminating costs associated with downhole failures.

Significant Cost Savings

Reduce Lease Operating Expenses (LOE) by eliminating downhole-based non-productive time (NPT) associated with ESP failures.

High Production Rates

Achieve the same—or better—production volumes compared to conventional gas lift or ESPs, without the associated risks and expenses.

Reliable in Tough Conditions

Ideal for high GOR wells, sandy formations, and deviated wellbores, where ESPs often fail.

Independent of Power Grids

Operates on wellhead gas, ensuring continuous operation even in remote locations without power infrastructure.

Electric Options Available

For customers who prefer electric power, electric drive versions of select units are available.
