• The HyBGC can offer significant capital cost
savings and better economics over traditional
reciprocal compression units as it offers a longer
stroke length than standard units and a simpler
method of transferring energy to the
compression cylinder. Its ability to provide the
benefits of the Beam Gas Compressor with the
ease of operation provided by hydraulics allows
for a great combination when a pumping unit is
not working a well.

Applications
•The HyBGC is installed on oil wells to relieve restricting back pressure
caused by production facilities and sales line pressure. Back pressure in
the casing restricts the formations oil and gas production.
•The HyBGC is used to increase gas sales on wells with low bottom hole
pressures by pushing gas into the sales line.
•The HyBGC is utilized to capture and compress vented gas into the sales
line, allowing the operator to comply with EPA requirements.
•The HyBGC makes marginal wells profitable where an increase in
production could mean the difference between making a profit or showing
a loss.
•The HyBGC is manufactured to operate in extreme sour gas situations
and also HIGH TEMPERATURE

Installation
HyBGC easily installs on
the casing-atmosphere
side of the wellhead and
the flow line side of the
check valve on the
casing- flow line side.

ESP application
For an ESP to operate there
must be a differential between
intake and discharge the
HyBGC provides stimulus to the
gas to vacate the casing and
thus provide that differential

The Hydraulic Beam Gas Compressor™ HyBGC
Increase or decrease stroke per
minute with adjustment using Allen
wrench on set screws for up and
down movement. Best way to
speed up or slow down unit with
Pause feature
Pressure should be set at 1100 PSI
Operating pressure will fluctuate
with demand on the unit.
Gauge should be isolated unless
needed to measure pressure. This
will minimize leaks possibly caused
by the gauge in long term usage

Environmental Advantage
Since the gas is sealed from
the drive cylinder there is no
leakage of gas from the
compression process itself.

Economics
The HyBGC offers greater value and a
quicker ROI than other recip
compressors mainly do to the
comparatively slower speed that we
can operate to provide the greatest
compression

Conclusion
Increasing production by Wellhead
compression and the Beam Gas
Compressor are proven concepts and
that now can be utilized on virtually any
style well be it onshore or off shore.
