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.

This article describes how Oxy developed an in-house application to handle critical production operations tasks including surveillance, optimization, downtime entry, and well testing. The application, called Nexus, allows well analysts and production engineers to manage twice the number of wells they were able to manage just 5 years ago.
