Overview

The FatMan Desander system is a high-performance solution for sand and debris control in oil and gas wells. Using the same hydrocyclonic style separation as the base Fat Man platform, it removes solid particles from the production stream to ensure optimal sand control. The system is placed below the ESP, or below a rod pump packer-style separator setup, and features a heavy-walled slotted sub for unrestricted flow from the reservoir. Some form of annular isolation forces fluid and gas in and through the cyclonic desander.

How it works

The Fat Man desander, converted for ESP flow rates.

  • Heavy-walled slotted intake

    A heavy-walled slotted sub sits below the ESP — or below a rod pump packer-style separator setup — giving unrestricted flow from the reservoir into the desander.

  • Annular isolation

    Some form of annular isolation forces fluid and gas in and through the cyclonic desander, without needing a full setting mechanism.

  • Rate-specific hydrocyclonic desanding

    The desander is taken directly from the Fat Man platform and converted for higher flow rates, with rate-specific cyclonic spirals and erosion coatings for wear resistance.
