2025 Spotlight Winners
(listed alphabetically by company)
Baker Hughes
Leucipa ESP Optimizer
Analyze real-time electric submersible pump (ESP) and well performance, detect critical conditions, and predict run life with the Leucipa ESP optimizer, a module of the Leucipa automated field production solution. Using physics-based and artificial-intelligence models, analyze performance for individual ESPs within a field to identify further optimization opportunities and take control of operations.
Baker Hughes
SureCONTROL Plus Electric Intelligent Completion System
The Baker Hughes SureCONTROL Plus electric intelligent completion system uses a single electric cable to power and communicate with multiple downhole devices, providing complete zonal control and monitoring. It reduces capital expenditure and operating expenses, improves reliability, and enables faster flow control and production optimization.
Hägglunds, a brand of Bosch Rexroth
Fusion Hydraulic Drive System
The Hägglunds Fusion is a pipeless, gearless hydraulic drive system with plug-and-play peak performance. The high-torque, low-speed drive delivers high power with greater economy and sustainability. Because the Fusion drive solution is self-contained, it is quick and easy to install and maintain while reducing energy consumption, downtime, and emissions.
