ESP system with FLEXPump17 .5 technology extended run life 31% An operator had a very challenging well that produced high gas content with rapid declination of well production. The previous artificial lift system had failed due to low/no production after it ran for 396 days. Due to the presence of gas, the rapid pump intake pressure (PIP) started to decrease. The total production had dropped from 1,800 BFPD to 900 BFPD and the well was finally shut in due to low production. The operator considered a pump with extended operating range that would have handled high gas production around 800 mcf. Representatives from Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE), studied the operator’s well data. Based on the production decline and high levels of gas, the engineers provided solutions t
