Extended-length gas separation improves ESP stability in slug-prone Permian wells

Severe gas slugging in unconventional Permian basin wells creates unstable intake conditions that can disrupt ESP operation and reduce run life. Field results show that the Hydro-Helical™ Slugger gas separator from Summit ESP®, a Halliburton service, reduced the duration and frequency of no-flow events, improved pump stability, lowered motor temperatures, and increased productive pumping time.
