Special Applications

We are maximizing Artificial Lift value creation from early phase project to first oil considering a full system approach

Hardly a field looks the same and requires the same artificial lift solution from one to the other. Since decades it became more attractive to develop new harsh environments, apply new reservoir technologies or even change the business model from hydrocarbons to geothermal energy. With changing applications, of course also the production equipment need to be fit to the new conditions.

Our team loves to find the right AL method for your specific application and supports you from sand face to separator:

  • Heavy oil
  • Geothermal (Hydrothermal & Petrothermal)
  • High GOR
  • Hydrate production
  • High pressure high temperature
  • Thermal EOR (SAGD)
  • Shale gas
  • Miscible EOR (CO2, N2, gas flooding)
  • Shale oil
  • Chemical EOR (Polymer, Surfactant/Alkali Flooding)

 

Some of our favourite challenges in the past:

  • Innovation: Gas hydrate ESP (South Korea)
  • Viscosity: ESPs producing up to 350 cp dry viscosity (Peregrino, Brazil)
  • GOR: conversion GL to ESP – up to 70% GVF (Total, Congo)
  • Variety: SAGD ESP, longstroke SRP and PCP m2m (Statoil Leismer, Canada)
  • Fluid complexity: Polymer Backproduction with SRP+ESP (chemical EOR fields, global)
  • Flexibility: AL design for shale oil with varying inflow, high gas and solids (Bakken, US)
