Artificial lift
Examples demonstrate how an Integrated Operations Center as a Service (IOCaaS) model, powered by artificial intelligence, reduced costs by 5% and increased production by 6% in Canada.
This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of integrating dynamic gas separation with existing gas-avoidance methods within the same electrical submersible pump string to address these issues.
Leaders of SPE’s Artificial Lift Technical Section outline the group’s mission, recent technical highlights, and a growing slate of global events shaping the future of artificial lift.

This paper presents how a US onshore operator took a three-step approach to optimize more than 100 rod-pump wells. The approach involved data consolidation, automated work flows, and interactive data visualization. -
This paper presents a comparison of conventional ESP methods and artificial-sump systems for which free gas and gas slugs are a challenge.
-
This paper describes the consequences of using an assumed R ratio in a gas-lift design that is not the same as the actual R ratio of the valve.
-
One of the more exciting aspects of artificial lift is the constant influx of new technologies and new ideas that the discipline invites. Inventors appear to be regularly developing “the next new thing” in artificial lift.

Subsea pumps are used for gas/liquid separation, subsea compression, and subsea boosting. Solutions aiming at cost reductions are crucial to make subsea processing projects feasible. A cost- and complexity-reduction solution for the subsea electrical power supply is a critical consideration.
-
Extensive analysis has led to the conclusion that downhole gas compression provides a greater increase in gas production than wellhead gas compression because of the additional drawdown created.

Rockwell Automation’s Luis Gamboa explains his company’s new solution designed to allow operators to collect, sort, and reconcile the quality and quantity of data from multiple sources to optimize field data.

Two things stood out when I looked at this year’s abstracts. First, well over half of the abstracts were related to electrical submersible pumps (ESPs). This is a significant increase from the last couple of years. Second, there was a clutch of artificial-lift-method-selection papers.
-
This paper focuses on a fit-for-purpose methodology to evaluate well-production performance for a wide range of artificial-lift techniques.
-
This paper presents an artificial-lift selection process to maximize the value of unconventional oil and gas assets.
