PC 50-1 Single-Stage Wellsite Gas Compressor
Compact, fuel-efficient single-stage gas compressor designed for low-pressure drawdown, vapor recovery, and low-volume well applications.
Dependable Compression for Maturing Wells
The PC 50-1 is engineered specifically to address the economic and operational demands of lower-volume, declining wells. When wellhead pressure drops below line pressure, natural gas production stalls due to liquid loading in the tubing. The PC 50-1 provides the exact suction drawdown needed to restore gas velocity, lift fluids out of the wellbore, and deliver gas to sales lines reliably.
Driven by an EPA-certified 4.3L natural gas engine producing 50 HP, the PC 50-1 balances rugged power with industry-leading fuel economy. Its single-stage cylinder configuration minimizes mechanical friction points, making it an extraordinarily reliable and low-maintenance unit for remote leases.

Operational Applications for the PC 50-1
01.
Casing Drawdown
Pulls down casing pressures on wellhead, ESP, or other similar applications to reduce down-hole pressure, stimulate inflow, or reduce gas interference.
02.
Sales / Booster
Utilization to access sales points with pressure fluctuations.
03.
Targeted Gas Lift
Supplies precise gas volumes to lift fluid columns. Precise-Sync programs available to further optimize production.
Why Operators Choose the PC 50-1
Ultra-Low Operating Costs
Minimal fuel consumption per MCF compressed translates directly into higher net cash flow per well.
Compact Pad Footprint
Easily squeezes onto crowded multi-well pads without obstructing tanker trucks or routine well maintenance.
Automated Safeguards
Integrated Precise Sync™ monitors temperature, pressure, and fluid carryover to protect the unit from liquid slugs.
Rapid Field Delivery & Setup
Time is money when a well is shut in. Every PC 50-1 unit is designed for rapid mobilization. Our trained service technicians deliver the PC 50-1 using agile gooseneck trailers, eliminating the need for expensive heavy-haul transport. Once on pad, the unit can be tied in and operational within hours.
