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…
Over the last decade, techniques for horizontal drilling, fracking, and production have evolved, lending way to significant improvements in the way that artificial lift systems are used in unconventional applications. Characterized by steep decline curves, turbulent fluid production, and irregular wellbore geometries, horizontal well conditions presented a formidable challenge for the conventional artificial lift technologies…
After experiencing sub-optimal production from a gas-lift well, a Mid-Con operator contacted Valiant to help boost production. By replacing the gas-lift system with an abrasion-resistant ESP, Valiant was able to provide immediate results and significantly increase oil recovery from the well. Excessive sand and solids in the production fluid required installation of ultra-durable 1,250 barrel-per-day…
