Trial evaluates production efficiency in deviated wells using ultra high-speed pumps, suggesting new artificial lift methods.
A group of fields in the Middle East is committed to adopting advanced artificial lift technologies to address production challenges in complex well shapes. Conventional electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) have proven limitations in deviated wells with high dogleg severity (DLS) and variable reservoir characteristics [1, 2]. Key objectives of the trial: Evaluate the deployment feasibility and performance of Ultra High-Speed (UHS) ESPs in deviated wellsCompare production gains and operational stability against conventional ESP systemsAssess long-term reliability and specific energy consumption The rapid evolution of artificial lift technologies highlights the pressing need for solutions tailored to the complexities of Middle Eastern well designs. This study investigates the application of UHS ESPs as a novel solution to enhance oil recovery and operational reliability in such demanding environments.
