Case Study
Jet Pump and Gas Lift System Combo
® Hydraulic Lift An operator wanted to install gas lift on several of his newly- fracked wells that needed to be dewatered, but there wasn’t gas available; the pipeline infrastructure had not been extended to the well locations. To start producing the wells immediately, the operator needed to find another artificial lift soution. Challenge The Apergy - Hydraulic Lift team installed a jet pump / gas lift combination system that included: • Initially placing the wells on jet pump systems • Dewatering the wells until the pipeline infrastructure was able to provide gas • Removing the jet pump system to utilize the gas lift system Solution The operator was able to produce 4,070 bbl oil, 2,750 mcf gas, and 22,325 bbl water, occurring between the end of the fracking process a
