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…
AUGUST 2019 Every year, World Oil recognizes leaders and technologies that are helping revolutionize the way oil is produced for lasting impacts. This year, Valiant was proud to make the list with our Aquarius® Horizontal Pumping Solutions as a finalist in the Best Water Management Technology Award. The Aquarius Horizontal Pumping Solutions product line (designed…
Enverus reports U.S. shale oil production at approximately 7.5 million barrels per day. To reach the oil in these tight formations, operators pump huge volumes of water into the rock through fracking, so that hydrocarbons can flow more freely to the surface. With some basins producing between 7 and 10 times as much water to…
Just as one Oklahoma operator was at their wit’s end due to repeated equipment failures, Valiant helped them achieve reliable ESP run life on a well previously believed to be too problematic to produce. LOCATION: Wilcox Formation, Pawnee, Oklahoma APPLICATION: High Sand Production, Abrasive Well Conditions Causing Broken Shaft Failures In the span of one…
When your operations are on standby due to power restrictions, you want a company that can deliver quality startup service at the drop of a hat. For many operators in the Permian, power supply restrictions are straining production schedules. Due to the increasing demand for output needed to support oilfield activity, utility companies are regulating…
In response to the boom of horizontal plays in the U.S., operators require artificial lift systems capable of providing reliable production in these wells often characterized by harsh, abrasive, and turbulent conditions. Due to the versatility and production capabilities of Electric Submersible Pumps, these systems have become widely adopted in unconventional applications. While ESPs provide…
Equipment isn’t cheap. So, when one operator needed an HPS system for a saltwater disposal well in a new reservoir, they weren’t going to do it on a guess. To save the customer time and get the right-sized equipment installed as soon as possible, Valiant implemented a quick solution to test out the well. Water…
In today’s dynamic downhole environments, operators require intelligent solutions to help them get the most out of their artificial lift strategy. ESPs play an important role in the production of oil and gas from unconventional resources, and precise equipment sizing is a key factor for ensuring long-term success. Whether producers have a target ESP lifespan…
