Lift IQ Service Remote Interventions Deliver 91% ESP Uptime in the Permian Basin
CHALLENGE Reduce frequency of field visits to remote wells while maintaining or improving ESP system uptime in the Permian Basin. SOLUTION Monitor and control wells using the Lift IQ* production life cycle management service. RESULTS ¦ Achieved 91% ESP uptime in wells protected with 24/7 surveillance and remote interventions, compared with 57% uptime in wells monitored with data visualization alone. ¦ Avoided 1,800 bbl of deferred oil production and eliminated 800 hours of field service in 3 months—a total value of approximately USD 206,000. Frequent ESP stoppages are common in unconventional play With about 365 ESP wells in the Permian Basin, an operator has long experience with the challenges of maintaining oil production in unconventional wells.
