Artificial lift
This paper presents a multidisciplinary view of the evolution of a development project for the central area of Sururu and the method applied to address challenges and propose solutions.
Industry experts advocate for collaboration to develop and test technology that can reduce emissions without breaking the bank.
The industry is balancing brains and bots as it squeezes out barrels of oil production.

This paper describes a methodology for classification of artificial-lift-system (ALS) failures and addition of a commonly used root-cause failure classification.
-
When evaluating artificial-lift requirements, sometimes data present uncertainties at the initial planning stage. This paper presents the integrated and structured methodology that was used to deal with high-uncertainty conditions.

Deepwater and ultradeepwater completions use numerous hydraulic control lines for control and actuation of downhole equipment.
-
Everhart Energy Technology, a startup company based in Beverly Hills, California, has developed a system it believes will help small to medium-sized operators cope with the reality that, while oil prices have fallen, their electric bills have not.
-
In maturing oil wells, oil production is often restricted as reservoir pressure depletes. Two case studies highlight the application of two-screw multiphase pump systems in to extend well life.
-
Electrical submersible pump (ESP) systems are critical to achieving the maximum production rates and reservoir pressure drawdown that improve ultimate recovery. But variable volumes of gas in unconventional wells can pose challenges for performance of the ESP.
-
Production engineers are often asked to manage both the artificial lift (AL) system and the upstream chemical injection program for a project.
-
A panel of experts says US shale producers need to rethink their drilling and completion designs as problems mount for horizontal wells when they go on pump. Hanging in the balance is whether long-term production from many shale wells will be achievable.
-
The recent plunge in oil prices has reinforced a number of truths about our industry.
-
Field X consists of 17 scattered clusters of more than 100 oil wells producing from different reservoirs.
