Gas lift technology has been stymied by the inability of conventional compressors to reinject wet gas back into velocity and capillary strings. The HGC is a perfect machine for gas lift, onshore and offshore. It has the ability to handle intermittent gas compression both on the surface and downhole. The machine can deliver gas downhole at varying conditions of pressure, volume, and temperature. No other compressor can handle the demands of such a complicated system. The HGC simplifies gas lift with its built in tolerances for pressure and volumes changes.
