The SKUD™ IFWKO is the most advanced 1G separator developed in over 50 years and is specifically designed for cost effective, high pressure remote bulk water separation.

The SKUD™ incorporates the advantages of both horizontal and vertical separation vessels. The small diameter allows for low cost, high pressure allowable working pressure and relatively small setting distances, reducing required residence time.

The SKUD™ is field proven to provide superior free water separation at a fraction of the cost of conventional vessels.

SKUD™ Advantages

• Increases existing treating capacity
• Increases emulsion processing capacity
• Substantially improve water qualities
• Effectively separate gas, solids and H2S upstream facilities
• ¼ to ½ the capital cost of conventional Free Water Knockouts
• Reduce operating costs by reducing chemical usage
• Reduce gas sweetening costs as H2S remains in the water phase
• Wide variety of applications - waterflood optimization to acquisition strategy
• Field tested and proven successful from light to heavy oil

SKUD™ Applications

• Increasing capacity of treating facilities
• Optimization of waterfloods
• Construction of low cost satellites
• Consolidation of core areas
• Dewatering production at satellites
• Processing 3rd party emulsion to generate a new revenue stream
