Artificial lift
In the wake of the falling number of exploratory wells in the country, Brazil-owned Petrobras addressed audience concerns as well as outlined new avenues for production at the Offshore Technology Conference.
Three case studies consider the gas-related reasons electrical submersible pumps fail in unconventional shale environments.
Whether it’s reviving inactive gas-condensate wells or identifying overlooked reserves in brownfields, operators are making the most of older wells and fields.
