In most cases, pump manufacturers are concerned about the effects of overheating equipment, but what do you need to know about horizontal pumps when the temperature dips below freezing? Even in warmer regions, it can be hard to predict the magnitude of a winter storm until it strikes. To help operators understand the effects of…
A Moment Can Be Worth a Lifetime A safety culture is built one moment at a time. Taking a moment to stop and think about safety has the power to change how we approach potentially risky activities at work and in our daily lives. Since November 2017, Valiant has dedicated one day a week on…
Producing significant volumes of abrasive sand, iron sulfate and other solids with electric submersible pumps (ESP) presents challenges, which can compromise system run life. In standard constructions, excessive abrasives can wear pumps quickly, reduce performance, and cause premature failures. To provide advanced wear protection without sacrificing pump efficiency, Valiant Artificial Lift Solutions offers abrasion-resistant modular…
Of all the problems that can occur downhole, a flange connection failure in a slim hole ESP application can be one of the costliest setbacks over the production lifecycle. When pulling an electric submersible pump (ESP) out of a narrow, packed or deviated section of the well, any weak points across the downhole equipment string pose a significant threat to the…
Jet lift systems provide a unique artificial lift solution to overcome some of operators’ most pressing production challenges: restrictive casing sizes, deviated wellbores, abrasive solids, high gas-oil ratios, and corrosive fluids. When coupled with durable, low-maintenance pumping equipment at the surface, producers can maximize their cost-saving potential with jet lift and achieve streamlined well performance. At…
At one point or another, all surface equipment needs maintenance or replacements, especially in harsh oilfield conditions. To get the system running smoothly again as quickly as possible, operators need a service company that can provide responsive surface pump replacements with minimal downtime. When one West Texas operator was ready to downsize their horizontal pumping…
When one operator needed a quick turnaround on two horizontal pumping units for a saltwater disposal application in the Permian Basin, Valiant was able to turn on a dime, providing two VG9000 Aquarius horizontal pumps within 4 weeks from receiving the order. Handling produced water in the oilfield is a job that requires efficiency and…
Protecting the health and safety of Valiant’s employees and customers is our utmost priority. As we continue to monitor the latest advice on COVID-19 response and adapt accordingly, we are committed to delivering our highest quality of service to our customers.
With eyes-on monitoring and proactive ESP optimization, Valiant was able to flag a potential ESP failure before it occurred, improving production by over 80 barrels of oil per day. Too often, the signs that a failure is about to occur are only recognized after the damage is done. Luckily for one Permian producer, Valiant’s monitoring…
If there is one setback that creeps in the back of every operator’s mind, it’s equipment failure. All other conditions aside, such as rig scheduling, weather delays, market dynamics, etc., equipment failures can be the most time-consuming and cost-intensive interruptions to well profitability by far. In fact, the estimated cost of an ESP failure in…
