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…
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…
