Multifunctional Production Unit
An all encompassing solution for low pressure matured wells
Page last modified
April 11 2024
The Multi Production Unit (MPU) is a low pressure production system with integral desanding and bulk dewatering capabilities. The MPU is designed to boost the pressure of production fluids from low pressure wells, while handling common challenges in mature fields such as high water cut and high sand production. The system is ideally suited for remote wellhead platforms where wells have insufficient pressure to deliver well fluids to production header in addition to flow assurance issues related to high sand and high water production.
MPU technology is the winner of "Spotlight Technology Award" for OTC Asia 2020.
