Institut Francais du Petrole (IFP), Total
and Statoil, developed the Poseidon as
the next step in the historical evolution
of advanced gas handling. Understanding
the limitation of electrical submersible
pumps in gassy wells fields, Schlumberger
uses the Poseidon system to enhance
production in oil wells experiencing gas
locking problems.

Gas separation
Natural gas separation occurs because of
the differences in density and buoyancy
between the gas and the liquid phases.
Many factors make estimation of natural
gas separation efficiency difficult.
Factors impacting natural and
mechanical separation include casing and
equipment size, free gas volume
percentage, pump intake pressure and
temperature, hydrocarbon composition,
bubblepoint pressure, casing pressure,
flow rate, obstructions and restrictions,
and operating frequency.

Gas avoidance
Shrouded systems placed below
perforations enhance natural separation
and reduce free gas at the pump. These
systems usually require smallerdiameter ESP systems and may limit
production.
