Product Overview

Overview

Upwing Energy, a spinout from Calnetix Technologies, is a manufacturer of high-speed permanent magnetic motor, generators, magnetic bearings and variable speed drives (VSDs).

SCS: Upwing's Subsurface Compressor System (SCS) technology is essentially a topside compressor that has been miniature and ruggedized for the downhole environment.

MDS: Upwing's Magnetic Drive System (MDS) design isolates electrical components from the harsh fluids and magnetically transmits torque and radio centralizing force across a gap b/t the permanent completion & motor rotor, to address electrical failures in ESPs

EPS: The Upwing Enhanced Production Simulator (EPS) uses an integrated approach to simulate gas production enhanced by the Upwing subsurface compression system™ (SCS) and to predict reservoir response. The SCS is a form of artificial lift, which increases wellbore drawdown at the compressor intake and boosts wellbore pressure at the compressor discharge.

Technology Innovations

Subsurface Compressor System:

  • Cost-effective at handling liquids, suction & dryer during higher pressures
  • Energy efficient due to routing, more efficient to push than to pull

Magnetic Drive System:

  • Isolates electrical components in annulus
  • No mechanical or electrical connections
  • Retrievable, slickline string (rigless)
Applications
  • De-bottlenecking late stage gas wells with liquid
  • ESPs prone to electrical failures
  • Liquid loading in horizontal wells
