ESP-Gas Lift Combinations

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.

Key Features

  • Field-proven Weatherford ESP and gas lift products
  • Reduces ESP discharge pressure requirements
  • Supported by proven system analysis software and technical application experts

Key Benefits

  • Increased volumetric efficiency – higher liquid volumes
  • Decreased injection gas requirements
  • Superior reservoir drawdown – increased production
  • Increase pump installation depth
  • Reduction in pump and motor requirements
  • Lower energy consumption
  • Reduces electrical conduit requirements
  • Gas lift provides backup to ESP pump failure
