Artificial Lift Challenges
• Horizontal Completions/Severe Doglegs
• Small Casing/Liner
• High GOR
• Corrosive
• Abrasive
• Power Requirement
• ESP Operating Efficiency
3
Horizontal Completions/Severe Doglegs
• Maximum drawdown = Maximum production
• Need to set ESP as close to reservoir VD as possible
• Doglegs through KOP require short, small OD equipment
• Conventional ESP equipment is limited by horsepower and rate requirements

High Efficiency Pumps
1 – Precision pump stage pre-manufacturing processes utilize computational analysis, laser prototyping, and rigorous testing to meet or exceed pre-determined efficiency targets
2 – Powder metallurgy technology achieves a very high quality finish and extremely tight tolerances of the flow passages which reduces hydraulic losses and ensures stage consistency

ESP Operating Efficiency - Summary
• Greater ESP Operating Efficiency Increases Revenue• Smaller surface electrical equipment
• Lower power bills especially critical during initial water production phase
• Shorter/smaller OD ESP operates in smaller casing/liner closer to the producing reservoir maximizing drawdown and production
• Higher efficiency PMM generates less heat increasing runlife
• Multiphase pump handles greater volumes of gas maximizing production, reducing gas lock shutdowns, increasing runlife
• Proper material selection and ability to manufacture with application specific alloys reduces downtime and increases runlife
