Overview
Upwing's Subsurface Compressor System™ (SCS)
A high-speed downhole rotating system designed to effectively maximize natural gas and condensate production and recoverability by simultaneously lowering pressure and increasing velocity.
The SCS is a first of its kind turbomachinery comprised of a novel architecture that leverages robust, reliable and proven technologies to enhance gas well performance.

Core Technology Building Blocks
Permanent Magnet (PM) Motor
High speed, efficient and power dense drive system integrated into Upwing's SCS, providing reliable operation by isolating electrical components from the external environment.
Magnetic Coupling
Large gap, high torque magnetic coupling module, providing the system with effective transfer of torque and supporting long operating life of the electric motor.
Multi-Phase Compressor
Multi-stage, rotating and non-rotating hybridized axial compressor module, enabling increased reservoir drawdown and accelerated gas velocity, pressure and temperature.

Resilience & Reliability
Rigorous Testing of Upwing Energy's Subsurface Compressor System™ and Surface Control Center prove high mechanical resilience and equipment reliability by enduring over 1,000 autonomous start and stop cycles.
Conventional Formation
Proof-of-concept field trials demonstrated an increase of natural gas production up to 58% by lowering the wells' bottom hole pressure and increasing the direct drawdown on the reservoir completions.
Unconventional Formation
Upwing Energy's downhole rotating system increases gas production in unconventional, liquid-loaded gas well by 62% and produces 50% more liquids.
