A well in the Delaware Basin started slugging sand in the middle of a night shift. Pre-slug baseline was roughly 9 lbs/hr. Sand rate peaked at 240 lbs/hr. An 18x spike. 655 lbs of total sand across a single event. SmartSahara saw it in real time. Triggered 6 automated blowdowns. Kept the vessel clean throughout the entire event. Zero manual Read more

The most common objection to autonomous flowback is also the most understandable one: “We like having people on location.” So does EnerCorp. The question is what those people are doing while they’re there. eFlowback automates the parts of flowback that don’t need a person: choke management, sand blowdowns, tank level monitoring, and leak detection. Your team monitors remotely, responds to Read more

Many equipment manufacturers design and build. Fewer design, build, and then run their own equipment in the field every day. EnerCorp does all three. Our R&D team develops the technology. Our fabrication shop in Grande Prairie builds it. Our field engineers deploy and operate it on location. And everything they see in the field comes back to R&D. That closed Read more

Emulsion doesn’t announce itself. It builds quietly inside your separator while your chemical pumps run at max and your level sensors give you readings you’ve learned not to trust. By the time you see the problem downstream, you’ve already paid for it. LiquidDetect uses electrical tomography to give facility engineers a continuous, real-time profile of what’s actually happening inside the Read more

One of the most common reasons operators in the Bakken stuck with their old sand management equipment wasn’t loyalty to the technology. It was trucking cost. That’s off the table now. EnerCorp has a local Sahara Rentals yard in Belfield, North Dakota. You’re not paying to haul equipment from Texas. You’re getting industry-leading sand separation from a yard that’s already Read more

In closed-loop systems and H2S environments, you can’t open the top of a tank to check sand levels. You rely on data, or you rely on guesswork. SmartSahara eliminates the guesswork. A continuous 0–100% analog sand level trend inside the cyclone in real time. You see sand building. You see it clear after every blowdown. You blow down when the Read more

Cyclone separation has been around for over a century. Your vacuum cleaner uses it. So does your car’s air intake. Industrial dust collectors, grain processing facilities, and woodworking shops; cyclonic separation is everywhere once you know what to look for. Same principle in all of them: spin a fluid or gas fast enough, and the heavier particles separate out. Simple Read more

We’ll let the sign do the talking. The Sahara Advanced Sand Cyclone was built to outperform. Maximum efficiency. Rugged durability. Lower operating costs. Customized to your well conditions before it ever hits location. Virtually all sand removed from your production stream. That’s not a claim. That’s what happens when you engineer a cyclone specifically for the well it’s going on, Read more

Guided wave radar was never designed to handle emulsion. When emulsion coats the cable, the readings drift. Many operators have already bypassed their GWR or stopped trusting it entirely. LiquidDetect was built for exactly that environment. Using electrical tomography, LiquidDetect gives facility engineers a continuous, real-time profile of what’s happening inside the separator: oil layer, water layer, emulsion presence and Read more

Let them build. That kid who dumps the entire Lego bin on the floor and spends three hours engineering something nobody asked for? That’s the kind of mind this industry needs. At EnerCorp, great engineering starts with curiosity. Our application engineers never stopped asking how things work and how to make them better. Before a single piece of equipment hits Read more
