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.

Deepwater and ultradeepwater completions use numerous hydraulic control lines for control and actuation of downhole equipment. -
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.
-
This paper focuses on analysis of beam-pump-failure root causes and trends and how the operator has used these data combined with automated equipment to reduce failure frequency and operating cost.
-
One thing this cycle has in common with all of the other down cycles the industry has been through is that most companies ignore the opportunities a down cycle presents.
-
A production-optimization strategy of an artificial-lift system resulted in the mitigation of challenges related to reservoir heterogeneities and completion design.
