Forbes Magazine has recognized 27-year old Dominican entrepreneur Pedro Santos Sang for having invented a wellhead compression technology that promises to cut costs of natural gas production. He was included in the prestigious "30 Under 30" group in the energy category. Santos is CEO of OsComp Systems. Santos lives in the US where he has launched two companies.
Prior to moving to the US he was operations director for Minecon, the Ingersoll-Rand Compressors affiliate and a leading local supplier of construction and mining machinery and equipment. Santos is a Summa Cum Laude graduate from both the PUCMM in Santo Domingo, and the Rochester Institute of Technology (2006-2008) where he studied industrial/mechanical engineering. He next received an MBA in entrepreneurship and innovation (2008-2010) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Sloan School of Management. He is the winner of the Patrick J. McGovern Entrepreneurship Award (MIT 2009) and the 2010 Mass Challenge competition.
OsComp Systems has developed a revolutionary new compression technology that reduces initial and operating costs for natural gas producers. Its initial product, WellSpar is designed to enhance the productivity of natural gas wells by deliquifying efficiently and cost-effectively.
Santos described the hybrid rotor technology: "Our near-isothermal rotary compressor technology allows a higher efficiency, power-dense, and lower capital method of producing natural gas wells. OsComp has been able to prove a superior technology in compression in a fraction of the time and cost that it's taken other startups in the compression technologies space."
In an interview with Diario Libre, Santos says it the technology also can extend the life of petrol wells from 10 to 30 years.
