Our Wellhead Compressors are engineered to provide unparalleled efficiency in oil and gas extraction. The state-of-the-art design ensures a significant increase in extraction rates, setting new industry standards.
These compressors are not just powerful, but also exceptionally reliable. Their robust construction and advanced technology ensure consistent performance under the most challenging conditions, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
Wellhead compressors are vital components in the oil and gas industry, primarily used for boosting gas production from oil wells. By reducing the backpressure on the reservoir, these compressors facilitate the continuous flow of oil and gas to the surface, optimizing extraction processes.
Wellhead compressors are crucial for marginal and aging wells where natural pressure decline impedes production. They are also instrumental in the extraction of coal bed methane and in applications where gas lift or other artificial lift methods are not feasible.
Recent technological advancements have led to the development of more compact, efficient, and environmentally friendly wellhead compressors. Innovations include advanced control systems for optimized operation, noise reduction technologies for minimally invasive operations, and improved materials for enhanced durability.
Selecting the appropriate wellhead compressor involves considering factors like gas composition, flow rate, pressure requirements, and environmental conditions. Our team of experts can guide you through the selection process, ensuring the compressor aligns with your specific operational needs.
Proper installation and regular maintenance are key to the longevity and efficiency of wellhead compressors. Our comprehensive service package includes installation support, routine maintenance, and emergency repair services, ensuring your operations run smoothly with minimal downtime.
Wellhead compressors are indispensable in the oil and gas industry, offering a range of benefits from increased production to environmental compliance. Our line of compressors represents the pinnacle of this technology, providing robust, efficient, and reliable solutions for your extraction needs.
Redhead Services supplies and supports these Platinum wellhead compression packages for Permian and West Texas producers. We sell and service the equipment; we do not manufacture the Platinum-branded frames.
Platinum’s Wellhead Compression-240 is designed to maximize your wellhead production. Wellhead compression increases the wellhead production rate and prevents liquid loading by decreasing the wellhead pressure. Flexible in design, the Wellhead Compression-240 consists of compressors, motor, gas scrubber, and other major components that are mounted with an environmental drip skid. The Wellhead Compression-240 can be painted with a color of your preference or the standard Platinum green, as shown below. Platinum Wellhead Compression units provide significant economic benefits for oil and gas producers.
Platinum’s Wellhead Compression-270 is designed to maximize your wellhead production. Wellhead compression increases the wellhead production rate and prevents liquid loading by decreasing the wellhead pressure. Flexible in design, the Wellhead Compression-270 consists of compressors, motor, gas scrubber, and other major components that are mounted with an environmental drip skid. The Wellhead Compression-270 can be painted with a color of your preference or the standard Platinum green, as shown below. Platinum Wellhead Compression units provide significant economic benefits for oil and gas producers.

A wellhead gas compressor lowers pressure at the wellhead so the well can unload liquids and keep flowing into a higher-pressure gathering line. Redhead Services supplies and supports wellhead compression packages for Permian and West Texas producers, including Platinum wellhead compression models.
It is typically used on gas or gas-assisted wells that are loading up, seeing rising line pressure, or losing rate as reservoir pressure declines. It is not a substitute for a gathering compressor station; it is a wellsite package sized to that well or a small pad.
No. Redhead Services supplies and supports Platinum wellhead compression packages. The 240, 270, and 4125 descriptions on this page refer to Platinum models we sell and service, not units we fabricate under our own brand.
Suction and discharge pressure, gas rate, composition, available power, and whether the well is prone to liquid loading. Those numbers decide horsepower, scrubber, and cooler—not a generic horsepower chart.
Lowering wellhead pressure is one of the standard ways to keep gas velocity high enough to lift liquids. Whether compression is the right lever depends on the well curve and the downstream line. We review both before recommending a package.
Support runs 24/7 from Odessa, Texas, covering the Permian Basin, West Texas, and southeast New Mexico. Call (432) 332-4902 to discuss a well or pad.
