CHALLENGE Reduce deferred production and improve ESP lifetime in a scale-prone field. SOLUTION Monitor ESP operations remotely with the Lift IQ* production life cycle management service to analyze pump performance, avoid shutdowns, and improve operations. RESULTS Avoided unnecessary delays and saved USD 540,000 in workover costs and deferred production. Scale buildup challenges ESP Scale buildup on ESPs is a common occurrence. The scale builds up on the motor housing over time, affecting the cooling efficiency of the system and raising the pressure on the ESP. This often happens with no outward indication to the operator. If scale continues to build unchecked, threatening events such as high pressure or motor overheating can occur, in which case the ESP controller shuts down th
