Continuous Rod Strings Enhance Artificial Lift in Deviated Wells

11/3/2015

 
​This alternative to sucker rods improves production in unconventional plays.
by Ryan Orr, Weatherford

Historically, the vast majority of artificial lift deployments have been in vertical wells that produce oil and gas from conventional reservoirs. The last few decades, however, have brought a dramatic shift to both conventional and unconventional oil and gas production from deviated wells, including horizontal, S-shaped and slant well trajectories. Deviated wells have presented a major challenge for artificial lift operations—including the accelerated wear of downhole equipment and tubing. The friction between the tubing and the rod string can wear holes in the tubing, which leads to production delays and costly, time-consuming repairs and equipment replacement.
