In this cross-pollinated system, the high-volume lift capability of Weatherford’s Electric Submersible Pumps (ESP’s) is combined with the liquid head reduction capabilities of gas lift. Lift gas is injected above the ESP pump to lower the density of the fluid head. This head reduction can be as significant as 40% of total head, vastly improving the performance capabilities of the ESP.
