Production and artificial lift are the two faces of the same coin;
We are supporting you beyond the widget on the full production value chain.
The happy time when all your wells are producing without problems, can be a short one. Artificial Lift EXCELLENCE offers to moderate and execute well by well reviews. Focus is set on finding pain points in your production, what hinders your wells to produce the limit.
These reviews can trigger gross rate increases, proactive exchange or conversion of Artificial Lift systems, new reservoir studies about sweep efficiency, or even field re-development plans.
Artificial Lift EXCELLENCE is your partner for Improved Oil Recovery projects, therefore also for planning and executing of infill campaigns. We assist at developing attic oil and/or accelerate oil and gas production, often combined with exploration targets.
We focus on time and cost efficient completion and Artificial Lift solutions, which fit perfectly into your field. Here we can use our experience with project management to be sure, that your project is going to be delivered in time and budget.
It’s always a good idea to know your neighbours – buying into developing fields, offering your procerssing hub to third party fields or exploring your vicinity yourself: Tie-in fields to may have significant benefits for your hub economics and elongate the hub’s economic life! We help you at feasibility studies, answering requests for capacities and necessary subsurface and surface modifications for tie-ins.
Our team is looking with you on the bigger picture – how can we develop your field with the highest value creation?
How do production and injection wells affect each other, how can we manage to produce/lift the limit?
We are reviewing production optimization possibilities for you, propose new ways of using your wells for new and existing fields.
Since our team has experience with chemical and thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery methods, we help you to make these recovery methods to your standard for brown field re-developments.
Artificial Lift EXCELLENCE is caring for the overall health of your production systems. That also includes to find optimal strategies for production and injection. We are supporting your reservoir management with tailor made simulations, propose strategies with our unbiased eyes, find technical solutions for multi-purpose wells – all that to increase the value of your field.
Our team is happy to help you with:
Exact knowledge of produced volumes are the prerequisite for good engineering and well analysis. We are supporting with recommendations for production flow meters even for challenging fluids. We make sure that you are fulfilling legal requirements as well as have sensitive but robust production meters in place.
Artificial Lift EXCELLENCE helps you to do production allocation on well and zonal basis:
Based on available production metering and well conditions we are distributing your production to the single wells.
For zonal allocation methods, our team is happy to recommend different mechanical or chemical methods and assist in their design, execution and analysis.
Our team is executing rough estimates for feasibility studies for exploration wells as well as detailed engineering surface piping. Flow assurance studies considering flow and pressure regimes as well as corrosion protection recommendations are in our portfolio.
Artificial Lift EXCELLENCE’s affinity is not limited to downhole pumps – we also support you with design, operation and maintenance recommendation for pumps on subsea and surface.
We find gas compressors, boosting and export pumps and turbines, which fit the best to the requirements of your field.
Electricity makes the world turn around – at least our pumps and other rotating equipment.
Often underestimated is electrical power quality as a pre-requisite for a long installation life. For rough estimates as well as for detailed engineering, we help you with motors, cables, plugs, VSDs, switch boards, transformators and the electrical grid requirements.
So that your pumps and compressors can easily make another round.
Reducing residual oil in water before re-injection, but also sand and impurities of your export liquids may have a significant impact on your field economics.
The Artificial Lift EXCELLENCE team is recommending all, what you may need for production processing:
Whoever has seen a hydrate plug in his life, will not forget it. Artificial Lift EXCELLENCE is assisting at start-up, steady state and shut-down scenarios, so that your team is ready for all operational phases.
We support at thermal evaluations, insulation and chemical inhibition selection and pigging intervals.
Depending on your production environment, Flow Assurance can represent one of the most crucial technical topics of the Artificial Lift application. Our team is supporting at evaluations of erosion and corrosion potential.
We find an EXCELLENT solution for every corrosion challenge. We assist in material, dimension and inhibitor selection and are checking your operating conditions for risk of erosion.
Our team has gathered lot of experience in dealing with challenging fluids.
We are supporting you with risk evaluations on wax, asphaltenes, emulsions and inorganic scale and help to find the best remedial actions, wherever necessary. We keep an eye on the compatibility of your fluids (reservoir, drilling, completion) with with the necessary chemicals and make sure that the expensive inhibitors are reaching their destination in a safe and efficient way.
Artificial Lift EXCELLENCE is supporting complex flow assurance analysis and tackles the prominent topic of slugging. We are evaluating the different flow regimes along the hydrocarbon path from sandface to separator and prepare measures to reduce or avoid slugging. We find the right production strategy during the wells’ lifetime and design your Riser Based Gas Lift installations.
Our AL designs are fit for the future – changing reservoir parameters, challenging production environment, easyness for replacement.
Already during the design phase, our team is anticipating the most likely failures in the future operation. We find the best design for your production targets, efficient operation and long run life and find the right balance of robustness and flexibility.
We are offering a large range of equipment qualification reviews, depending on your needs:
From few pages Technical Assessment Report (TAR) to a full Technical Qualification Plan (TQP). Our team is leading you through the whole qualification process, from initial documentation of desired functions and expectations, through assessment and testing to identification of relevant failure modes.
Step by step we are supporting you qualifying the component for your application, thereby increasing applicability and confidence in the component.
Our team focuses on reliable and sustainable Artificial Lift Solutions. Based on your input, we are going to select an EXCELLENT Artificial Lift System for you.
We are proposing Artificial Lift Systems which fit to your project – no matter if you have challenging fluids, inflow or economics. We like to find Artificial Lift solutions, which are adapting to your needs over time – by different operational parameters, retrofit or redundant installations.
Production technologists like to be involved in the early phase of well design – bringing a geological concept to paper and giving the wells their shape is a creative work. Especially casing sizes and the trajectory is of importance for the artificial lift installation, since both can limit their application or even their run life.
We support you with our long experience – minimum clearances, maximum dog leg severity during RIH and operation, impact of tortuousity and inclination.
Produced sand may lead to early pump failures, erosion and leakages, loss of integrity.
ALE analyses the necessity for sand control, finds the best suitable sand control method for your wells and designs the equipment together with your preferred vendor.
Installing well barriers and keeping them functional over a well’s lifetime is a major responsibility of operating companies and incurs liability.
ALE makes sure your well integrity program and well barrier schematics are up to date and consistent with legal requirements and standards.

Are you confronted with a vast range of completion technologies and you could need help to identify what is technically sound and economically reasonable? Artificial Lift EXCELLENCE is your independent partner to find the best technology for inflow control, production allocation and optimization.
With our mindset, “as complex as necessary, as simple as possible”, we are recommending reliable equipment which should help you minimizing well interventions and maximizing value to your development project.
