This paper discusses a new type of mechanical gas separator for electrical submersible pump systems that increases operating flow range and separation efficiency while decreasing erosion problems and improving reliability.

One is on Earth, and one is not. But the knowledge transfer between the oil patch and off-world has fueled meaningful technological advances for all involved.

This paper outlines issues to be resolved during facility design and provides guidelines, calculations, and examples for sand-handling steps to be implemented after separation.

The biggest sand haul ever reported by service provider Enercorp is a reminder that proppant flowback is a mounting challenge for shale producers.

The paper provides an approach to mitigating the adverse effects of mercury found in production fields, including treatment-facility requirements and suitable technologies for production fields and onshore facilities.
