RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT PORTFOLIO
Wirbeln develops targeted technologies to address specific challenges in energy production and infrastructure systems. Our R&D efforts focus on improving operational efficiency, extending asset life, and supporting lower-emission energy solutions through practical, engineering-driven innovation.
Our approach prioritizes feasibility, constructability, and real-world application — ensuring that each technology we develop is aligned with industry requirements and operational conditions.
Our current development efforts are focused in two technologies for upstream production: a Flow Booster Cell (FBC™) and the Dynamic Positioning Gas Lift (DPFL™) system. Both technologies are Wirbeln’s patented. Each technology has been progressed up to a scaled prototype.
Flow Booster Cell
The Flow Booster Cell is a proprietary concept designed to support fluid transport and production enhancement in offshore and onshore environments.
The technology focuses on improving flow performance while reducing system complexity and energy requirements. It is being developed for applications where boosting is required over long distances or under challenging operating conditions.
Dynamic Positioning
Gas Lift (DPGL)™
The DPGL™ system is designed to enhance gas lift operations by simplifying system configuration and improving operational flexibility.
The concept aims to support production optimization across varying reservoir conditions while reducing operational complexity and cost.
