CHALLENGE Reduce deferred production and improve ESP lifetime in two unconventional fields by improving ESP efficiency and uptime under challenging downhole conditions, including high gas-to-oil production ratio and scaling issues. SOLUTION Monitor ESP operations remotely with the Lift IQ* production life cycle management service to analyze pump performance, determine likely causes, and proactively adjust pump operation regimes to avoid shutdowns, improve operations, or restart pumps that have shut down. RESULTS Achieved the following results in one month: ¦ Produced 3,582 bbl of oil that would otherwise have been deferred. ¦ Reduced ESP shutdowns by 28%. ¦ Reduced ESP downtime by 38% through remote interventions. ¦ Cut overall ESP downtime by more than half.
