Artificial lift
As production dynamics evolve over the full life cycle of a tight-oil play, a single artificial lift method may not be the most cost-effective solution.
This paper explores electrical submersible generator design considerations, theoretical underpinnings, and potential future applications.
The authors of this paper discuss the effectiveness of smaller port sizes and the use of dummy and Venturi valves to enhance gas lift performance and maximize recovery in mature offshore fields.

The authors of this paper present an artificial-lift timing and selection work flow using a hybrid data-driven and physics-based approach that incorporates routinely available pressure/volume/temperature, rate, and pressure information. -
Paper SPE 213089 describes an artificial lift selection tool for unconventional reservoirs driven by reduced-physics models. Paper SPE 213975 extols the value of gas lift downsizing by optimizing the selection and placement of Venturi, orifice, and dummy valves. And Paper SPE 214361 explains how electrical submersible pumps could become electrical submersible generato…

This paper presents a proposed condition indicator that estimates the wear experienced by an all-metal progressing cavity pump at any point in operation and takes into consideration the effects of downhole operating conditions.
-
The authors of this paper evaluate the effectiveness of production-enhancement activities for a long-string, gas-lifted producer using distributed-temperature-sensing technology.
-
In selecting papers for this edition, the criteria of conformance to guidelines and novelty of information, technical equipment, and application were considered. Industry indicators and interest were also factors.
-
The authors describe a hybrid gas-lift/rod-pump completion designed to reduce workover rig cost and production deferment and increase production efficiency in high-gas/oil-ratio environments in marginal fields.
-
The authors describe implementation of permanent-magnet-motor technology in different artificial lift systems that has resulted in power savings of more than 15% and lifting-cost optimization.
