SLB engineered a production solution comprising multiple proprietary technologies for a gassy Permian Basin well. ESP run life improved from 105 d to 550 d, increasing well uptime from 85% to 96%.

A Permian Basin operator was encountering poor ESP reliability and extremely unstable inflow in a gassy well. A solution was required to avoid the deferred production and increased workover costs resulting from prematurely failing conventional ESPs.

 

Bar graphs show improvement in ESP run life and well uptime with the SLB integrated lift solution.
The integrated lift solution engineered by SLB—comprising an extended-life pump, gas-handling and sand control technologies, and real-time surveillance—increased ESP run life more than fivefold and improved well uptime by 16 percentage points despite the gassy well conditions.
