1010 - 1040 GO GREEN AND MAXIMIZE PRODUCTION WITH RIGLESS ESP OPERATIONS
- Challenge for production operators to bring cashflow more quickly with less operational risk and lower GHG emissions
- Traditional tubing conveyed ESP implementations are sub-optimal exposing operations to higher risks and lower efficiency
- Rigless ESP technologies replace damaged ESP’s and motors for a fraction of the cost with fewer personnel and less complicated procedures
- Eliminating GHG emissions by removing the workover rig and ancillary infrastructure

1100 - 1130 OPTIMIZE ARTIFICIAL LIFT WITH MULTIPHASE PUMPING
- Improve the performance of ESP’s, SRP’s, and Gas Lift by adding multiphase pumping to the gathering systems for greater total recovery
- Achieving lower wellhead and downhole pressure and thereby improving the reservoir inflow to the production well
- Higher tubing level will lead to increased submergence and better downhole pump intake conditions allowing it to operate above the bubble point
- Higher liquid level leads to improved downhole pump uptime, less power consumption, and less wear and tear on rods and couplings

1500 - 1530 MINIMIZING ENERGY LOSSES IN ROD-LIFT SYSTEMS BY ENERGY RECYCLING TECHNIQUES
- Managing regen safely requires a solution that can absorb the regen to avoid excessive DC bus voltage in Variable Speed Drives
- Available solutions have advantages and disadvantages that are unique to each application
- A new approach wherein the regenerative energy is stored locally during the downstroke of the pump and recycled to the pump motor
- The storage system is simple in design and can be utilized for multiple wells tied together, further reducing incremental capital investment

1530 - 1600 AUTOMATING WORKOVER CANDIDATE SELECTION
- The top 1,000 candidate wells for workover with the highest NPV were identified including cost estimations
- Using the PetroVisor platform, 70% decrease in time spent screening data, an 85% decrease in overall project time were observed
- 30% of shut-in wells emerged as candidates for workover where previously none were considered
- Real-time performance monitoring and feedback to further validate the candidate selection process for the next group of workover wells
