Artificial lift
By closely monitoring its subsea boosting system, Shell extended maintenance intervals and safely postponed pump replacement at its ultradeepwater Stones field.
The use of real-time wireless downhole pressure gauges proved a valuable alternative to workover operations in two onshore fields in Iraq.
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.

Eni conducted a research project to explore the maturity of new technologies to enable economical development of deepwater prospects with tieback distances longer than 50 km and 150 km, respectively, for oil and gas fields. -
This paper identifies potentially significant hidden value of subsea multiphase boosting technology, or aspects of it that have not received adequate attention during the field-development decision-making process.
-
SponsoredLiquid loading is declining the production rates and limiting the ultimate recovery of shale gas wells. This article explains how subsurface compression can remove liquids from the horizontal and vertical wellbores and increase one operator’s production by 67%.
-
Hassi Messaoud is a mature oil field with more than 1,100 production wells. Approximately half of the wells are natural flow and the other half use continuous gas lift (CGL) with concentric (CCE) strings.
-
The first subsea multiphase boosting system was installed in 1994. Since then, it has grown into a technology with a global track record.
-
Using maglev technology, a new artificial lift system seeks to boost production output by sucking down reservoir pressure from inside the wellbore and from inside the reservoir.
-
Permian Basin operators and service companies met to discuss completions diagnostics, flowback strategies, water management, and artificial lift strategies.
-
This paper presents an analytics solution for identifying rod-pump failure capable of automated dynacard recognition at the wellhead that uses an ensemble of ML models.
-
Aker Solutions and FSubsea have agreed to a joint venture, named FASTSubsea, to help operators increase oil recovery.
-
This paper covers the staged field-development methodology, including analysis and evaluation of various development concepts, that enabled the company to optimize both completion design and artificial-lift selection, reducing downtime and lowering operating costs by nearly 50%.
