What we do
We unload the well using light and constant Runs
All fluid and gas are routed through the separator and into the sales line, not blown to atmosphere or open tanks.
Why it’s safer
No big slugs: Small pulls prevent large liquid surges that can upset separators, meters, or compressors.
Gentle on the well: Continuous, controlled unloading avoids pressure shocks and reduces mechanical stress on tubing and equipment.
24/7 controlled operation (AutoFlow): Autonomous Well Unloading System, round‑the‑clock swabbing allows fine adjustment based on how the well and facilities respond in real time.
Why it’s better for the environment
Minimize Methane and VOC Emissions vs traditional swabbing to tanks or atmosphere
Gas is captured, not vented: Because we flow through the separator and sales line, most gas is sold instead of released.
Lower emissions: Light, contained loads act more like low-emission plunger lifts than conventional swabbing or blowdowns.
Cleaner Water management: Water removal is handled in small, managed volumes, reducing the need for large, high‑emission cleanups.
Bottom line
“Swabbing to the System” is a Low‑emission, Low‑impact swab method that protects your facilities, maintains gas sales, and significantly reduces environmental footprint compared to traditional swabbing to tanks or atmosphere.
