Artificial lift
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.
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.
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.

Case studies from around the world prove that big rewards await companies that optimize the artificial lift systems keeping their mature fields alive. The success stories involve a mix of monitoring, automation, and performance tracking. -
When a gas lift system starts performing poorly, there is a good chance no one will notice. It is not an event that demands attention like a broken pump. A gas lift system will continue injecting gas into wells and oil will continue to come out. Just not as much oil as there could be.

Different artificial lift technologies have been used for decades to dewater coalbed methane (CBM) wells to reduce hydrostatic pressure and release the gas for production.

As oil and gas fields are depleted, artificial lift systems are often required to maintain delivery volumes and to maximize recovery.
