With oil prices kangarooing all over the map producers continue to look for ways to control what they can—production costs. In that spirit Production Lift Technologies is introducing a flexible and cost-effective well monitoring system that will provide real-time data to operators. This data will help producers optimize production
in all types of fields including CO2 floods, injection, pumping, ESP and flowing wells.

This system, from Zenith Oilfield Technology LTD, allows clients to select from five operation-specific options to
suit the technical, operational and economic requirements of the situation.

Zenith’s low cost system provides permanent gauges usually deemed too costly to deliver real-time well data that
is more accurate than fluid shots and is less costly and is not intermittent like slickline logs.

The six-parameter permanent system provides an economical alternative to high-end quartz reservoir monitoring gauges for PCP, jet pump and gas-lift wells. It delivers detailed well, reservoir and pumping system operational information.
 

To collect continuous data from high temperature and other harsh environments consider the hi-temp monitoring system. In wells rated to 250o C, Zenith’s permanent monitoring system reliably delivers continuous downhole pressure and temperature data in high temperature environments.

Zenith’s quartz monitoring system provides accurate data at high temperatures in artificial lift applications, enabling transient analysis of build-up surveys, reservoir pressure trend monitoring and reservoir temperature monitoring.

The PCP protection system from Zenith is designed to monitor and guard against common PCP problems.
It provides for full PCP condition monitoring including downhole rotor position, rod torsion and pump rotation
speed. These parameters, along with permanent pressure gauge measurements, provide the knowledge necessary to improve PCP installation, maximum run life and production.

It would be great to read memory tools on a very regular basis. But staffing challenges, rig shortages and other issues mean certain wells can't be checked on a predictable schedule.

Production Lift Technologies is pleased to introduce a new, long-life tool to the Permian Basin. Called La­Bomba, it can be classified as a semi-permanent gauge. Designed to run for two to three years, LaBomba is ideal for long-term testing and production monitoring of pump pressures.
 

Here's how it works: a piezo-resistive pressure sensor and state-of-the-art acquisition electronic module work together to provide near-quartz quality temperature­compensated data. The LaBomba is designed with the capability to acquire data at a variety of temperatures and wellbore conditions.

With a diameter of 1.66 inches, the LaBomba houses a single DD cell lithium battery that is designed to operate the instrument for up to three years, depending on the temperature. Along with its extremely efficient three-volt electronics, the LaBomba uses very little power.

New tool removes sand from production fluids, extends life of downhole pumps

Certain formations seem to produce enough sand to fill a beach-and when that sand goes through an ESP or PCP, it can cause damage and premature pump replacement.

Production Lift Technologies now offers a cost effective solu¬tion-Lakos pump protection desanders. These desanders remove sand from production fluids before they enter a downhole pump, which increases the life span and the efficiency of those pumps.LAKOS pump protection separators do this with no moving parts to wear out, no screens or filter elements to clean or replace-and they require no maintenance.

These trouble-free and effective desanders can be easily installed onto the suction end of an ESP or PCP.As the diagram shows, the LAKOS PPD draws production fluid through tangential inlet slots into a separation chamber.

It then uses centrifugal action to separate the sand from the production fluid, tossing that sand to the perimeter of the PPD's chamber.Sand-free fluid is drawn to the center of the separator, then goes up through the vortex outlet to the pump's suction. As the sand ac¬cumulates in the desander, the flapper valve opens and discharges the sand deep into the well.
 

Our Frac Tool carriers are designed to be used with 2.875" tubing string. They all have the same diameter dimensions: inside 2.0", outside 3.668", and all are made with the oil industry standard steel alloy 4140 L80.
 
As shown in the table below, we offer off-the-shelf carriers in standard overall lengths (OAL), with or without a fish neck, and with variations in the type of connector threads.
 
(If these dimensions do not suit your equipment/job, please note that Frac Tool carriers can also be custom-built to customer specifications.)
NOTE: To assemble the Frac Tool to the Carrier, use item 103483-see previous page.
