Artificial lift
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.
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.
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.
