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.
