Practical patent coverage tied to liquid handling, compression response, and production optimization in real field conditions.
Fluidstream’s patent position is strongest where it connects directly to field problems: liquids inside compression, pressure behavior, and control under non-ideal operating conditions. The core U.S. patent, US11098709B2, describes changing compressor operation when liquid is detected in the chamber.
Incompressible liquids reduce effective chamber volume and can drive rapid pressure rise late in the stroke.
Detect the liquid condition and change compressor operation during the stroke rather than treating liquid only as a shutdown event.
Useful where wet gas, slugs, and unstable flow limit conventional gas-only systems in vapor recovery, casing gas, and multiphase service.
The core U.S. patent ties the Fluidstream platform to mode changes between higher-volume and lower-volume operation during the compression stroke, giving the patent story clear technical relevance in mixed-phase service.
Patents that address compression behavior under liquid-influenced conditions provide a stronger technical basis for real oil and gas applications.
US11098709B2 centers on a real engineering issue: incompressible liquid changes chamber volume and can drive pressure higher near the end of the stroke.
The core patent story is about detecting liquid-related conditions and changing compressor behavior during the cycle.
The patent position matters most where wet gas, casing gas, and multiphase service create conditions conventional systems struggle to handle.
US11098709B2 addresses liquid detection and compression-cycle response within the chamber, making it the clearest anchor for Fluidstream’s patent position.
US11098709B2 anchors Fluidstream’s main U.S. multiphase operating-method story.
The patent describes high-volume operation for a first portion of the stroke and lower-volume behavior for the remainder as chamber conditions change.
The operating logic is built around detecting liquid-related conditions and adjusting compressor behavior accordingly.
The described response helps manage the part of the cycle where rapid pressure rise becomes more severe.
The patent is most valuable where it protects operating methods for responding to mixed-phase chamber behavior rather than simply defining package layout.
This patent is useful because it addresses a specific physical challenge inside compression rather than relying on a generic efficiency claim.
These patents are most relevant where operating conditions include wet gas, variable flow, and mixed-phase service.
Relevant where entrained liquids and unstable flow challenge conventional vapor recovery systems.
Most meaningful where casing gas compression must account for liquid carryover and changing conditions.
Strongest where gas-and-liquid flow is handled together rather than forced into a gas-only model.
Patents tied to liquid handling and operating logic better support claims around stability, controllability, and field applicability.
Fluidstream’s patent coverage spans both multiphase compression behavior and production optimization / control.
The Canadian counterpart to the multiphase compression family supports the same technical story as US11098709B2.
This granted U.S. patent broadens the IP story beyond compressor mechanics into system-level control and production response.
The Canadian well-production optimization family complements the multiphase compression family and expands the patent story beyond mechanics alone.
Fluidstream’s patent coverage connects directly to its commercial products and field applications.
The multiphase platform is built around handling gas and liquids together and changing compression behavior when chamber conditions demand it.
For vapor recovery, the patent story helps explain why Fluidstream positions the technology beyond idealized clean, dry gas conditions.
Casing gas compression often suffers when liquid carryover or unstable conditions hit conventional packages. The patent page supports the operating logic behind Fluidstream’s approach.
