Eccentric Intake
The Evolution Eccentric Intake is a cutting-edge solution designed specifically for horizontal wells where gas flow is present. It provides a superior alternative to open-end tubing and traditional gas separators, ensuring efficient separation of gas and fluid.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of an Eccentric Intake?
The Evolution Eccentric Intake is designed to separate gas from production fluids before they enter the pump. Its unique internal mechanism automatically orients itself in horizontal and highly deviated wells, allowing gas to migrate into the annulus while directing fluid toward the pump intake.
In what well conditions is the Eccentric Intake most effective?
The Eccentric Intake is specifically engineered for horizontal and high-angle wells with deviations between 60° and 90°. It is ideal for applications where free gas can negatively impact pump efficiency and production performance.
How does the Eccentric Intake improve pump performance?
By reducing gas entering the pump, the Eccentric Intake helps minimize gas locking, improve volumetric efficiency, and maintain a more consistent fluid supply to the pumping system. Its placement directly below the pump also shortens the flow path and enhances intake efficiency.
What design features make the Evolution Eccentric Intake reliable?
The tool features a closed-bottom design to prevent unwanted bottom entry flow, large flow ports to reduce pressure loss, and a brass wear bushing with a centralizing pin that allows smooth internal rotation and proper orientation during operation.
