Q2 MudShark
Description
A fully engineered, multi-staged sequential solids separation system designed to safeguard sucker rod pumps for when using Extended Dip Tube BHA configurations. The MudShark™ delivers the industry’s highest-performance downhole solution for mitigating risks from problematic produced solids, significantly extending pump run life—and it’s the only solids separation system compatible with Extended Dip Tube BHA setups.
Value Features
- Patent pending design that uniquely “busts up” solids slugs and then separates solids.
- Protects the sucker rod pump from damaging solids.
- Engineered for Extended Dip Tube BHA systems.
- Innovative eccentric fiber reinforced thermoplastic cups, mounted on a 3/8″ fiber reinforced thermoplastic rod, separate, capture and retain solids “out of harms way.”
- Sucker rod pumping cyclical flow improves separation efficiency (during the downstroke when the standing valve is closed, solids settle into the cups).
- Minimal pressure loss across cups (28 cups per insert).
- Multiple MudShark™ inserts can be run by inserting one into each Extended Dip Tube tubing joint for increasing the downhole solids containment capacity.
- Optional reverse flow control valve.
Use in Wells to
- Maximize sucker rod pumping performance with solids laden produced fluids and using Extended Dip Tube BHA’s.
- Use in combination with WhaleShark™ gas separator, SharkNET™ self-cleaning solids filtering systems, SharkGUT™ horizontal solids separator, SandShark™ pump solids fallback protection system, SharkTAC™ tubing anchor and Q2-Flow™ + SandTwister™ pump.
- Maximize sucker rod pump and rod run-life and reliability.
- Reduce solids related stuck pump risks and to avoid pump start-up issues after a shut down.
