Artificial Lift

Our artificial lift engineers use the latest technology and software alongside extensive experience based knowledge. We have worldwide experience of different field settings, onshore, offshore, desert, jungle, deepwater as well as HPHT to support optimization of your asset value. Our technical team can carry out a vast array of Artificial Lift tasks including:

• Artificial lift selection and system design
• Well by well detailed design and equipment selection
• Deployment support during installation supervision
• Vendor selection and stack up test support
• Continuous of intermittent gas Lift
• ESP’s including CT, and wireline deployment
• Sucker-rod pumps
• Reciprocating and jet hydraulic pumping systems
• Plunger lift
• Progressive cavity pumps (PCP)
• Post deployment monitoring and optimisation
• Trouble shooting
• Post failure analysis
• Operating guidelines and procedures
• Continuous improvement protocols  

Artificial lift specialties

• Electrical Submersible Pump’s
    • Design taking into account all reservoir parameters, well construction details and facility constraints both at present and future forecasting
    • Power generation and effects of harmonics on motor/pump performance and run life
    • Reservoir fluids description and characterization to determine viscosity effects, density changes with WC and flood fronts, waxing, asphaltenes, scales, corrosivity
    • Procedures for optimal ESP operations to maximum ESP run life, including soft start and operating within the ESP operating limits

• Gas lift
    • Gas lift complete system design and optimisation including the gas lift network and compressor system
    • Dynamic gas lift modelling and simulation to simulate well and flowline unloading

Procedures for startup, unloading and steady state operations of the gas lift system
