More Oil – Colombia
Failure analysis, new equipment specification and diagnosis techniques deliver ability to identify and prevent a production loss of 3,400 barrels a day.
ESP Training – Ecuador
$5 million in lost production identified. ESP training and mentoring in Ecuador finds 67 improvements in software, improving runlife of equipment and increasing skill levels of personnel.
Production Increase – North Sea
Combination of gaslift and ESPs in the North sea creates significant gains. $1.35 million potential increase in daily production identified.
Increased Production – ESP System Designed / Ongoing Analysis
Significant production increase in the corcel field in the Llanos of Colombia with new ESP system designed and specified, with ongoing analysis of ESP performance.
Fewer Failures – Costs Slashed
Repeat failures of rod pumps halved, saving an estimated $16 million a year. Pump off controllers applied and the re-use of low cost parts stopped enabling the system to be capable of achieving three-year runlife.
Proper Lift Method – Production Enhanced
A suggestion of a trial of long stroke rod pumps successfully enhanced production, through identifying the correct lift method for each well.
Team Training – Production Increase
Training and mentoring with Hupecol’s enthusiastic team on ESP diagnosis techniques results in almost double the production of their 10 wells.
Contracting Strategy – Quality Issues Identified
A change in contracting strategy saves $3.75 million in 6 months. The change also drives cooperative approach to failure analysis, identifies quality issues and drives ESP equipment specification improvements.
Software Analysis – Doubles Production
An operator had been running a well for 3 years, but it hadn’t been optimized (for?). After running an analysis, production was increased by 500 barrels of oil per day which was more than double the previous production.
