Production insights, field guides, and operator wisdom from the team that built the fastest-growing app in the oil patch.
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
Read more →Over the past decade, plunger lift use has grown drastically; which in turn, has created a boost in oil productivity. Other contributions have included: improved computers and technology, equipment re
Read more →Okay GreaseBookers, I know that most of us love our dogs. Since I have been in the oilfield, I have met only one person who did not like a dog in a pumping truck. It happens to be the man I pump for n
Read more →Flowing wells are created when the water and gas produce a pressure forcing the liquid from within the rock through any openings (such as a well). While the pressure may be powerful enough to push the
