Capacity means nothing without a stated suction pressure.
Ask for a booster’s capacity and the honest answer starts with a question: at what suction pressure?
Insight · Enhanced LPPU™
Duty falls as suction pressure falls.
For a surface booster such as the Enhanced LPPU™, duty falls as suction pressure falls, so every figure we quote states the suction it applies at.
Every figure we quote states the suction it applies at.
That is why a single headline number is not useful when screening a weak or liquid-loaded well. The well, the flowline and the header together set the operating window: the pressure the well can still deliver against, the header or separator pressure, and the gas, condensate and water rates.
The other questions follow from the same physics. If the constraint is downhole, a surface machine is the wrong intervention: where the well is limited by inflow, skin or downhole lift, this will not fix it.
A credible first screen therefore needs recent well-test and decline data, flowing and shut-in wellhead pressure, header or separator pressure, gas, condensate and water rates, composition, sand and sour components, and the space, fuel gas or platform power available.
