SJP Video demonstration
SJP: See how Caltec's Surface Jet Pump (SJP) can boost gas well production in this animated demonstration. Watch it here.

HP/LP back-out prevention
Problem: HP gas well was backing out LP gas well on the same manifold.
Solution: Caltec supplied a Jet Pump package with Silencers; uses HP gas well as motive flow to boost pressure of gas from an LP well. -
Compressor on recycle
Problem: Export compressor in constant recycle. Alternative re-wheeling projects both too costly and too timely.
Solution: Installed a Universal Gas Jet Pump alongside the recycle line of the existing compressor to lower the FWHP of the inlet wells whilst also boost FWHP pressure. -
Replace compressor stage 1
Problem: Multiple compressors used in constant recycle. Alternative re-wheeling projects both too costly and too timely.
Solution: Deployed a jet pump to replace an entire compression stage: saving fuel gas, Opex and facility availability/reliability. Allows operator to re-use compressor or parts of it as spares. -
Boosting well drawdown
Problem: LP well production/separation lacks motive power to sustain required production levels.
Solution: Drawdown wells connected using available HP motive force. -
De-bottlenecking
Problem: Capacity limited by bottlenecking of compressor stage.
Solution: De-bottleneck the LP compressor, slip streaming a percentage of gas from 1st stage compressor manifold and injecting it upstream of the compressor, using 2nd stage recycle gas as motive force. -
Replace compressor stage 2
Problem: Replace Flare Gas recovery compressor (1st Stage), thus freeing up the compressor for use in other applications.
Solution: Installed a Universal Jet Pump (UJP) in place of 1st stage compressor using HP gas from 1st stage separator as motive force. -
Overcoming liquid loading
Problem: Three satellite subsea wells located some 27km away from the production platform were not able to produce due to increasing backpressure imposed by the liquid loading in the pipeline.
Solution: Installed a Jet Pump and Silencer package to use HP gas as motive force from existing compressor recycle to reduce the pipeline arrival pressure at the platform
