Upstream compression

Cooper's reciprocating compressors with upstream compression applications greatly improve overall production and natural gas gathering, making them the most reliable compressors on the market.

MARKET LEADER

The Upstream Market and Cooper's Reciprocating Compressors

The upstream compression market refers to the exploration, development, and production of natural gas and crude oil. Cooper’s reciprocating compressors greatly improve overall production and natural gas gathering, making them the most reliable compressors on the market. Cooper’s revolutionary compressor technologies such as the couple-free design reduces vibration and noise, increases equipment lifespan, and significantly lowers maintenance costs.

The Most Reliable Choice for FPSO

Customers using floating production storage and offloading vessels (FPSOs) housing processing equipment and storage for produced hydrocarbons choose Cooper’s highly stable compressors when injecting gas into natural cavities for storage and consumption.

Gas Lift Optimization with
Cooper's Compressors

Gas lift, artificial lift using an external source of high-pressure gas to supplement formation gas to lift well fluids, is ideal with a well-designed Cooper upstream compressor for reinjection of natural gas into the well. Cooper’s compressors reduce fluid density and greatly improve oil production.

Increase Unconventional
gas production

Unconventional gas resources (tight sands, coalbed methane, and gas shales) require methane gas gathering by compressors at low suction pressure. Cooper’s compressors increase production by dramatically increasing the drawdowns in the wellbore.
