Artificial Lift Enhancing the Halliburton Product Line

 Artificial Lift Enhancing the Halliburton Product Line
In 2013, Halliburton began a new phase in its strategy to deliver overall reservoir performance
by creating a new Product /Service Line (PSL)—Artificial Lift (AL)—to add to its growing
family of fourteen. Following on the heels of entry into oilfield chemicals, Halliburton is
now able to provide a complete array of products and services that extends from reservoir
characterization to the AL lifting methods that can optimize production throughout the
life cycle of the well.

The Halliburton Artificial Lift Family

Initially, Halliburton Artificial Lift (AL) offers three popular lift methods—Electrical
Submersible Pumps (ESPs), Surface Rod Pumps (SRPs) and Progressive Cavity Pumps
(PCPs)—and an Automated Remote Monitoring and Control (RMC) System that can
be adapted to all three methods. SRPs are fully compatible with any Rod Lift downhole
system. Each provides a unique ability to maximize wellbore production at a variety of
depths, volumes, and conditions and over different stages of the well life cycle.

Monitoring and Automation

With Halliburton’s web-based Remote Monitoring & Control
(RMC) system performing 24/7 monitoring of your wells, you
have total performance identification and control of your most
valuable assets. Operator efficiency and profitability is greatly
enhanced as RMC enables reduced field monitoring costs and
improved pump performance. Problems can be diagnosed in
real time and remedial action taken on wells equipped with
ESPs, PCPs, or rod pumps.

The following are examples of what RMC can do for you:

Monitor your artificial lift operations in real time

• 

Receive alarms in case of performance anomaly

• 
or non-conformance event

Receive periodic status reports via email or text

• 

Also accessible from Apple iPhone® or

• 
iPad® mobile digital devices

Create and save custom trend plots

•
