Title: Combination gas lift/ESP system increases flexibility

Journal Article · · World Oil; (USA)
OSTI ID:6352528

Most ESP systems are installed in high-rate wells, and failure can result in significant downtime and revenue loss. This paper reports that by combining ESP with continuous-flow gas lift in certain wells, a smaller ESP can be used, and the wells can stay on production even with downhole equipment failure.
