Oilfield Downhole Gas Anchor for P. C. Pump

The Gas Anchor has been designed as a continuous flow downhole gas
separator to be used in conjunction with progressing cavity pumps. The uses centrifugal forces
to separate the gas from the produced liquids, before they enter the pump. Liquids will be
carried through into the pump suction while the separated gases are forced to migrate up the
annulus.

1). The  Gas Anchor must be installed in the string below the pump.
2). When the pump is landed in the well, the P.C. Anhcor should be above the perforations.
3). If it is desired or necessary for the fluid intake to be below the perforations, tubing may be
ran below the gas anchor (tail joints).
