Hydraulic Piston Compressors: The $1.2M/Year Solution for Oilfield Gas Flaring

Global oilfields waste $16 billion annually flaring LPG-rich associated gas. Traditional screw compressors fail when sulfur content exceeds 5%, forcing operators to burn valuable fuel. Discover how hydraulic-piston technology transforms waste into profit.

Why Hydraulic Systems Outperform in Sour Gas

KEEPWIN’s DY-VSeries combats oilfield challenges with:

1. Sealed Piston Chambers

   • Zero gas-lubricant contact → Eliminates H₂S corrosion

2. Teflon-Coated Valves

   • Withstands 18% H₂S concentration (industry avg: 5%)

3. Adaptive Pressure Control

   • Handles wellhead pressure swings from 0.3-4.5 MPa

*”Sour gas ate three compressors in 18 months. KEEPWIN’s unit runs 16,000+ hours with zero corrosion.”*

Xinjiang Case: Turning Flare Gas into Profit

China’s largest high-sulfur oilfield faced:

• Daily flaring: 80,000 Nm³ gas (≈ $28,000/day loss)

• Downtime: Monthly maintenance due to valve corrosion

After deploying KEEPWIN’s hydraulic compressors:

Key innovation: Modular skid design enabled deployment in 48 hours without stopping production.

3 Operational Advantages Redefining Oilfields

1. Zero Flaring Compliance

   • Meets World Bank’s Zero Routine Flaring 2030 targets

2. Mobility

   • Trailer-mounted units follow drilling crews

3. Energy Independence

   • Recovered gas powers onsite generators (cutting diesel costs 40%)

Global Applications: From Permian to Sahara

• Permian Basin (USA): Reduced flaring penalties by $2.8M/year

• Saharan Fields (Algeria): 35% lower CAPEX vs. cryogenic units

• Offshore Platforms: ATEX-certified compressors eliminate explosion risks

The Math Behind 30% OPEX Reduction

Breakdown of savings per 100,000 Nm³/day operation:

*Note: 12-month ROI typical for fields flaring >20,000 Nm³/day*
