Artificial lift
The papers described here focus on novel unconventional horizontal downhole pump card signatures, carbon reduction through alternative energy to pump wells, and predicting downhole-discharge pressure of ESPs.
Longtime leaders in artificial lift discuss and share their insights on the rapidly evolving segment’s past, present, and future.
The world of artificial lift has witnessed a remarkable revolution over the past 25 years, with many of the events and technology trends recorded in the Journal of Petroleum Technology.
-
This paper presents a proposed condition indicator that estimates the wear experienced by an all-metal progressing cavity pump at any point in operation and takes into consideration the effects of downhole operating conditions.
-
The authors of this paper evaluate the effectiveness of production-enhancement activities for a long-string, gas-lifted producer using distributed-temperature-sensing technology.
-
In selecting papers for this edition, the criteria of conformance to guidelines and novelty of information, technical equipment, and application were considered. Industry indicators and interest were also factors.
-
The authors describe a hybrid gas-lift/rod-pump completion designed to reduce workover rig cost and production deferment and increase production efficiency in high-gas/oil-ratio environments in marginal fields.
-
The authors describe implementation of permanent-magnet-motor technology in different artificial lift systems that has resulted in power savings of more than 15% and lifting-cost optimization.

A pair of innovative field development strategies are helping tame the wild, wild Permian Basin.
-
Makers of continuous sucker rods are out to convince customers that it really is possible to make a better sucker rod that could save them some money.
-
In this second part of a two-part series on advances in artificial lift, we’ll look at the state of optimization and a trio of techniques and technologies under development or new to the market. Look for quarterly reviews of specific types of lift in upcoming issues in the new year.
