Move mixed flow. Lower pressure.

Boost gas, oil, water, and condensate together to reduce backpressure and move untreated multiphase production without gas-only separation first.

Lower backpressure Support stronger inflow and production continuity.
Untreated flow Move gas and liquids as one stream.
Less equipment Reduce separator and scrubber dependency.
Field-ready Built for slugs, solids, liquids, and winter duty.
Built for reality

Designed for mixed-phase, unstable field conditions.

MultiphaseCommander™ is built for gas streams with liquids present rather than dry-gas assumptions. It combines true multiphase duty, sealed gland protection, full piston tracking, autonomous upset-condition response, and lower-maintenance field performance into one production-focused package.

01

True multiphase duty

Positioned for systems where liquids are part of normal operation, not merely an upset to be removed before the equipment can work reliably.

02

Technology-backed control

Strengthened by Fluidstream features such as liquid handling inside compression, gland sealing with wear awareness, piston tracking, and autonomous operating logic.

03

Field-ready durability

Better aligned with difficult duty where variable flow, slugs, solids, and changing conditions increase maintenance and instability in conventional systems.

The challenge

Boosting production when gas and liquids move together.

In real production systems, gas rarely moves alone. Liquids, unstable flow, and rising backpressure create a surface-duty mismatch that conventional gas-only boosters were not designed to solve.

01

Backpressure limits production

As reservoir energy declines and gathering pressure rises, wells struggle to overcome downstream resistance and production performance falls away.

02

Mixed-phase flow complicates boosting

Gas, oil, water, and condensate move together, creating an operating duty that is difficult for conventional gas-only equipment to handle reliably.

03

Extra site equipment adds cost

Separators, scrubbers, tanks, flares, and added controls increase footprint, complexity, maintenance exposure, and total installed cost.

How MultiphaseCommander™ solves it

Multiphase boosting that works on the stream you actually have.

MultiphaseCommander™ is a multiphase booster and transfer solution that boosts the untreated stream directly, lowers backpressure, and keeps gas and liquids moving together toward downstream handling or centralized processing.

This liquid-aware boosting approach is reinforced by US11098709B2, which addresses compression response when liquid is detected in the chamber.
01

Boost the full multiphase stream

Instead of forcing complete wellsite separation before useful work can be done, MultiphaseCommander™ is designed to work on the combined production stream.

02

Reduce wellhead and gathering pressure

Lower backpressure can improve inflow, help production stability, and support stronger upstream operating conditions in low-pressure and declining systems.

03

Support centralized processing strategies

By moving untreated multiphase flow downstream, MultiphaseCommander™ supports field architectures that consolidate separation and treatment at central sites.

Production impact

Why this matters to production performance.

MultiphaseCommander™ is more than surface equipment. It is a production tool that improves the conditions the well and gathering system operate against.

Improved inflow potential

Lowering flowing wellhead and gathering pressure can improve production continuity and help low-pressure systems perform in a more favorable operating window.

Better artificial-lift conditions

Where artificial lift is already in use, lower backpressure can help create better intake and operating conditions upstream.

More stable surface behavior

Matching the equipment to the actual mixed-phase process reduces the operating mismatch that often drives instability and unnecessary support equipment.

Simpler field architecture

Moving more of the untreated stream downstream can support leaner pad layouts and reduce the amount of handling equipment installed at each site.

Technology benefits

Built on Fluidstream multiphase technology.

MultiphaseCommander™ is built on Fluidstream’s core technology platform: direct liquid handling inside compression, stronger sealing and wear awareness, better control through upset conditions, and lower-maintenance operation in real field service.

Liquid handling inside compression

Fluidstream’s multiphase platform is designed to manage incompressible-liquid events within the compression chamber, which is fundamental to true multiphase service and directly supports applications where gas has liquids present.

Sealed gland protection with wear awareness

Advanced gland sealing and electronic seal wear detection support safer, more controlled multiphase operation while helping operators identify service needs earlier and reduce reactive maintenance.

Alignment and life extension

The platform is designed to maintain alignment in key stress and wear areas, supporting longer seal life, longer component life, and more dependable field performance.

Piston tracking and smarter control

Piston-location awareness helps the system respond to slugs, solids buildup, ice risk, and other changing operating conditions with better control confidence in unstable flow.

Autonomous upset-condition response

Autonomous control logic is designed to keep operating through multiphase and gas-only upset conditions with less operator intervention and a lower-touch maintenance profile.

Field-ready hard-service flexibility

The technology platform supports electric and gas-drive configurations, plus sealing approaches optimized for difficult services such as H₂S-bearing and sand-bearing applications.

Conventional systems vs. MultiphaseCommander™

Conventional gas-only systems are usually strongest when the field delivers stable, dry gas and low variability. MultiphaseCommander™ is positioned for a different duty: mixed-phase streams, increasing backpressure, unstable flow, and the need to keep gas and liquids moving together.

  • Conventional gas-only boosters: more sensitive to liquid carryover, often rely on extra site equipment, and can become maintenance-heavy when forced into mixed-phase service.
  • MultiphaseCommander™: designed for gas streams with liquids present, supports multiphase boosting and transfer directly, and reduces dependence on added wellsite handling equipment in suitable applications.
  • Conventional separation-heavy layouts: more footprint, more interfaces, more pressure drop, and more equipment to maintain.
  • MultiphaseCommander™ approach: lower backpressure, move untreated flow, and support centralized processing or leaner site architecture where it makes operational and economic sense.
The Fluidstream advantage

The listed product family supports H₂S handling, cold-weather startup, autonomous control, and remote interface capability across the model range.

Applications

Applications for MultiphaseCommander™.

MultiphaseCommander™ is suited to field problems where gas and liquids are part of normal operating conditionsand where lower backpressure, untreated-flow transfer, and simpler surface architecture can improve operations.

Multiwell gathering systems

Boost and transfer the combined stream from multiple wells toward centralized separation and processing.

Liquid-loaded gas production

Support systems where gas production is accompanied by oil, water, or condensate and dry-gas assumptions do not hold.

Artificial-lift support

Useful where reducing backpressure can improve the operating conditions of upstream lift systems.

Low-pressure reservoirs

Applicable where declining reservoir pressure is no longer enough to overcome gathering-system resistance on its own.

Pad and cluster development

Support surface strategies focused on a reduced footprint and more centralized handling.

Unstable and slugging systems

Better aligned with pipelines and gathering lines that see intermittent or non-ideal multiphase behavior.

Engineering notes
  1. Flow conditions are calculated at 15℃ [59℉] inlet pressure and with various components operating at 100% efficiency. Flow rates may vary based on inlet pressures, gas content, and other factors.
  2. Max gas rates and max pressure differentials can be increased by configuring additional units in parallel or in series.
  3. Higher horsepower units will yield much higher fluid flow rates at various pressure differentials. Please request pump curves to see flow rates at various pressure differentials.
