70% of fields globally have a solids problem, where some kind of solids handling equipment is needed. Our systems work across upstream, midstream and downstream applications, enabling the efficient management of solids during the life of a well.
Solids producing wells
Eliminate choked back or shut-in wells: Our method ensures the continuous removal of solids upstream the separator, thereby increasing production rates and reservoir permeability.
Optimised production
Coiled tubing flowback
No downtime: Informed by real-time solids data, our technology enables better decision making and a more efficient Coiled Tubing clean-out.
Coiled tubing
Online separator jetting
Optimised production during jetting operations of production separators. Our approach eliminates downtime and the HSE risks associated with manually emptying separators.
Online jetting
Produced water management
Our solids removal solution improves water quality and eliminates the cost of sand eroding re-injection pumps.
Produced water
Plug & abandonment
We eliminate the need for discharge to sea and enable environmentally responsible P&A operations

Safe scale separation during Coiled Tubing operation
Due to significant scale buildup on a field on the UK Continental Shelf a customer had planned for a CT operation. FourPhase supplied a solids management system and safely separated 4 771kgs of scale during the 12-week operation.

“We are very satisfied with FourPhase’s removal efficiency, which we estimated to 99%, as opposed to your competitor’s cyclone that we measured to between 85 - 95%.”

A clean approach
Our technology separates oil from solids – leaving clean sand and avoiding contaminated solids being discharged into the sea via jetting or enabling it to be transported as normal freight. Improving the oily water separation process also removes all of the sand from the water, resulting in a higher quality of produced water, which helps protect equipment against erosion.
Environmental performance
Beyond oil and gas
Our technology also has applications far beyond oil and gas – including water management, swarf and cutting management, mud conditioning and general processes. If there is a market need then we are committed to new product development. So, if you have a challenge you’d like us to consider, please get in touch.
