Enhancing Well Production Through Artificial Lift
and Other Solutions

• The vast majority of oil and gas wells in the
  world require artificial lifting solutions. There
  are many options available, but some are
  particularly effective at enhancing well
  production no matter the conditions.

Electric Submersible Pumps (ESP)

• An ESP system improves production in a large
  variety of situations. It is applicable in
  high-temperature pumping systems, cool-water
  wells, gas well dewatering systems, and
  high-pressure conditions, to name just a few. It
  is also excellent for its simple installation and
  its capability to meet temperature and viscosity
  demands. Finally, its increased run life and the
  lower lifecycle expenses will help you maximize
  profits.

Progressive Cavity Pumps

• A progressive cavity pump, or PCP, is a positive
  displacement pump that has a fixed stator
  containing a spinning helical rotor. It functions
  by moving fluid from the bottom of the pump to
  the discharge at the top by passing the fluid
  through small cavities. Thanks to proprietary
  elastomers that line the stator, the PCP has
  increased bond and tear strength and is resistant
  to abrasives, gas, and water.

Gas Lift Systems

• With gas lift systems, you gain greater
  versatility without sacrificing production. For
  instance, you can pull and replace slickline
  gas-lift valves whenever designs and system
  performance requires a change, all without
  disturbing tubing.

• Furthermore, gas lift systems are now able to
  cope with more environments. For example, they
  can manage abrasive materials like sand and work
  in low-productivity wells, high ratio gas or oil
  wells, and deviated wellbores. The system is also
  able to function under higher pressure without
  jeopardizing performance. New systems in
  particular have higher pressure ratings and
  pressure barrier features to use in deepwater and
  subsea wells.

Horizontal Surface Pumps

• Another flexible option is a horizontal surface
  pump. These systems are an alternative to
  conventional industrial pumps. Their wear
  resistance and capability to cope in harsh
  conditions, which is thanks to abrasion-resistant
  zirconium, can provide you with significant cost
  savings. Better still, they require no daily
  maintenance and you can exchange major components
  in just two or three hours compared to days or
  even weeks for a split case pump.

Sucker Rods

• Advanced sucker rod pumping technologies allow
  for improved performance and reduced expenses.
  They also enable increased automation, to cut
  down workload while enhancing production.

• To choose the right system for you, consider
  your needs and current challenges. Bear in mind
  that you can customize most of the above
  solutions to better suit your oil or gas wells.
