CENesis PHASE system increased run life 440% in unconventional well Challenge • Large gas slugs in the fluid stream caused gas-locking conditions in the ESP system • Frequent gas slugs caused ESP motor overheating • Frequent shutdowns followed overheating events Results • Stabilized ESP system operating conditions • Increased run life from 144 days to over 790 days • Increased production 346% vs. gas lift An operator in Kansas completed a well using 7-1/2 in. casing and in the first year of production installed two separate standard electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems and a gas lift system in an effort to maximize production. However, each form of artificial lift produced disappointing results. Gas lift was unable to draw down the bottomhole pressure, which limi
