Optimizing Operations for Best Performance and Productivity


Whether you work in the oil or gas industry, your main aims are to overcome the challenges that are leading to lower performance and maximize your profits. A top way to improve productivity and returns is to use modern technology. For this to be effective, however, you need to find products that provide you with reliability and require the least amount of effort required on your part.

Meeting Challenges

For most companies, the greatest challenges are staying profitable in the face of changes in the economic climate and coping with changing well conditions — conventional to mature. Another challenge is to improve efficiency in the oilfield. This can be difficult if you are using outdated technologies or if your artificial lift products are being misused.

What to Look For in Products

You need to improve productivity (such as through enhanced pumping capabilities) at the same time as reducing energy use, operating costs, wear, and corrosion. Furthermore, you want to minimize failures. This requires advanced, customized technologies. There are several products on the market that meet this criteria.

Possible Solutions

Wireless Load Cell System

You’ll improve load cell performance and convenience by changing to a wireless load cell system. As these work with any type of pump-off controllers, there will be no need to replace any other equipment. Plus, they are easy to install, thanks to minimal wiring. The result is no shutdowns due to failed cables, less downtime, and simpler maintenance. Better still, a wireless load cell system even functions in adverse weather conditions, including the coldest of winters.

EnerSaver

EnerSaver will reduce your power usage by 15 percent or more, improve drive efficiency by around 30 percent, and reduce fluctuations. It is also eligible for carbon credit and you can use it even in areas with wide line voltage.

Other Products

The simplest products can also contribute to improve performance. For instance, a carbon fiber rod is an improvement on traditional steel sucker rods and fiberglass sucker rods for its light weight and small size. It also features a steel end fitting tensile that has been tested for performance. For this reason, just changing your carbon fiber rod will reduce pressure on the pumping unit and offer protection from fatigue, high temperatures, and corrosion.

Making basic changes to your equipment by updating to modern technologies allows you to overcome challenges and has a big impact on your performance. All of the above are excellent investments for any oil or gas company.

Using Artificial Lifts to Optimize Your Production

When it comes to artificial lift pump operations, operators have two priorities. One, they want to increase their production. Two, they want to bring down the costs of doing so. In order to achieve both, there is a need to implement proper planning as a way of avoiding poor performance. Dealing with mature fields will often be met with challenges related to field productivity, and the artificial lift is a method that can be implemented to establish full recovery for fields or wells. Because there are many types of artificial lift systems, it is important to choose the best method for the job. The different types of artificial lift systems can be separated into two categories: pump-assisted process and gas-assisted process. Positive displacement pumps (or PDPs) under the pump-assisted process include carbon fiber rod pumps, progressive cavity pumps and others have fixed quantities of fluids in a cavity and forced to move in a designed direction. Meanwhile, electrical subme...

How to Increase Production and Decrease Costs with Artificial Lifts

Artificial lifts, systems and operations are designed to save money. They do this by increasing production and decreasing costs. However, there’s a science to ensuring your system achieves the proper results. This includes taking several factors into account, including how to maximise production in a mature field. And artificial lifts are one of the best ways to address production requirements. Below is an explanation of how this can be accomplished. Artificial Lift Systems and Types Whether a lift system optimises production, depends on the type of lift and system used. The lift chosen will depend on the field scale and on the well’s parameters. On the other hand, the lift system or method chosen will depend on production needs. Production needs are determined by assessing the current field productivity, drilling, completions and reservoir. There are two main lift systems: gas-assisted and pump-assisted. Additionally, there are eight artificial lift types. These types include...
