Production insights, field guides, and operator wisdom from the team that built the fastest-growing app in the oil patch.
When using a gas lift system, mandrels are an integral part of the pumping system. Valves are installed in these pieces of hardware, which are an important part of regulating the flow of gas. Conventi
Read more →Using one central hydraulic system to power multiple wells is a popular setup. A single triplex pump, depending on the amount of power oil needed, could supply power oil to up to eight wells. The adva
Read more →A gas lift system normally requires valves in the production tubing down the well. These valves open in sequence, injecting the gas that forces fluid in the tubing to the surface. The hardware that c
Read more →The tank battery is the arrangement of storage and processing tanks, flow lines, and other equipment necessary to operate a well. Some tank batteries are connected to just one well, while others recei
Read more →The production of any well is going to eventually drop. Even with a well that at first naturally flows rather than requiring pumping, the volume of oil produced will drop at some point. Production may
Read more →Hydraulic Systems For A Single Well Hydraulic systems can be used to pump a single well, or as a central power system for several wells. When using it with a single well, the hydraulic triplex system
Read more →Basics of Hydraulic Lift Hydraulic systems uses fluid pressure to power a pump. That is done by pumping fluids downhole using a triplex pump designed for extremely high pressure, usually between appro
Read more →When a well’s production starts to fall due to decreased hole pressure, there’s a few techniques you can use to bring its output back to former levels. Mechanical lift can be one method (which we go i
Read more →Well Operation and Automatic Controls You may choose to operate your well continuously, or only run the submersible electrical pump for part of the day. The well capacity and the amount of fluid you n
Read more →Throughout the life of a flowing well, a variety of systems can (and often will) be used. Sometimes these mechanical lifts are used in sequence, on more than one occasion, or even in conjunction with
