Artificial lift is a process used on oil wells to increase pressure within the reservoir and encourage oil to the surface. When the natural drive energy of the reservoir is not strong enough to push ...

Of the total number of wells globally to use artificial lift, 40% employ sucker rod pumps. Pump optimization generally follows established rules of thumb. More advanced pump features, such as pump off ...

Resizing pumps, installing rod-pump controllers (RPCs), and monitoring and analyzing wells remotely with software specific for that purpose increased operational efficiency in Balam South field on ...

Pneumatic Oil Pump Replaces Pump Jacks in Shallow Oil Fields Gary Sommese: … He’s got holes in his casing so he can’t produce them so… I told him let’s give it a shot. Our system will work. We don’t ...

Key insight: All lift systems target the same physics: reduce mixture density or add head so that nodal balance at the wellbore yields the desired rate. 2.3 Select lift method aligned to fluid, depth, ...
