Typically, a well will produce at its highest production rate at the beginning of the production cycle; and then production will wane. In an effort to increase production from both oil and natural gas ...

Of the total number of wells globally to use artificial lift, 40% employ sucker rod pumps. Pump optimization generally follows established rules of thumb. More advanced pump features, such as pump off ...

Key insight: All lift systems target the same physics: reduce mixture density or add head so that nodal balance at the wellbore yields the desired rate. 2.3 Select lift method aligned to fluid, depth, ...

The original acid-gas injection project near DCP Midstream’s Artesia, NM, gas plant started up in November 2003 and consisted of drilling an injection well and installing an acid-gas injection ...
