Vortex Applications: Benefits

Vortex Tools have proven effective in a variety of applications, including:

• Flowing gas wells approaching the "critical rate"
• Dewatering High Perm, High Water Coal Beds
• Paraffin Deposition
• Velocity Strings
• Liquid Loading in Horizontal laterals
• Plunger lift
• Line Freezing
• Surfactant / Soaping

And, we continue to test new ideas regarding the application our technology.

The following outline reveals the key benefits of making Vortex Tools part of your existing system. Tools are available in two series - SX for surface tools and DX for downhole tools.

Surface Tools - The SX Series

Applicable for both Flow lines and Gathering Systems.

Benefits:

• Enhanced fluid movement
• Eliminate stagnant liquids
• Reduce slugging
• Reduce Line Freezing
• Reduce friction loss in multi-phase flow

• Reduce Frequency of Pigging Operations
• Reduce operating costs
• Save lost production during pigging process
• Keep upstream pressures consistently low
• More environmentally friendly
• Less Operation Risk

• Mitigate paraffin deposition
• Reduce LOE Costs
• Keep upstream pressure consistently low

Downhole Tools - The DX Series

Available in thread-on and retrievable applications.

Benefits:

• Effective deliquification
• Decrease casing/tubing pressure differential
• Reduce bottom hole pressure
• Maintain lower liquid levels
• Improve flow time of intermitted wells

• Improve recovery of completion fluids in new wells

• Compliment existing artificial lift and Deliquification methods
• Velocity strings
• Plungers
• Soap
• Gas lift

• Improve Economic Performance
• Increase Production
• Reduce lease operating expense
