PC Pump Before & After – Competitor Comparison
4 1/2″ Competitor Tool vs. 3 1/2″ Predator Tool
Note: This was done on the same well, using the same size pump.
Torque readings BEFORE installation of the Predator Gas Separator
1. Torque readings are very erratic, sometimes spiking up 150-200 ft lbs. within seconds. This could be caused by a few things.
2. Also, for a pump this size, at this depth, we would expect to see torque readings higher than this. Due to the amount of gas within fluid that is entering the pump, it is creating a higher fluid which lowers torque. It also has to do with the pump not being able to maintain a constant load to achieve “correct” torque, due to the gas blowing the pump/tubing dry.

Torque readings AFTER installation of the Predator Gas Separator
1. Torque readings are higher, more in the correct range for what we would expect with this size pump at this depth. Torque is also much more stable, not as much swinging and spiking.
a. This is due to the pump being able to maintain a more constant load because much less gas in entering the pump.
b. Before we were seeing torque swings and spikes from 150-200 ft lbs., it is now much less in the 20-30 ft lb. range.

Flow readings BEFORE installation of the Predator Gas Separator
1. Flow is very erratic; this is due to the same issues as described with torque.
a. Pump is constantly being blown dry by gas, causing erratic flow rates.
b. Flow rate swings as much as 350-400 BBL/day.
I. The peak of flow rate we see of nearly 900 BBL/day most likely is not accurate. The spike is caused by a sudden rush of fluid/gas entering the flow meter and over pressuring it. Causing higher than normal readings.

Flow readings AFTER installation of the Predator Gas Separator
1. Flow readings are much smoother and closer to the normal rate we are wanting to achieve with this design. Much less spiking and the peaks are far less.
a. This is due to the pump being able to maintain a more constant fluid load in the tubing, with much less gas entering.
