Some of them have been the subject matter of studies to review their results and represent good operation examples:
Problem: Very high viscosity. Oil has mobility in the formation, but does not circulate along the tubing.
A Series 2000 No-Kalt was installed in August 2000.
Result: For the first time the well could produce and the development and normal operation of a new high viscosity field which had hitherto been unexploitable was possibilitated.Problem: High viscosity. PC pumping is operating at its maximum limit and there are frequent faults in sucker rods. The well has a larger potential which the company wants to take advantage of.
A Series 1000 No-Kalt system was installed in March 2000.
Result: High counterpressure problems which produced frequent faults. The well is operating without any problems ever since that date.Problem: Viscosity and paraffin. There are frequent stoppages and the well production is adversely affected by these interruptions.
A Series 3000 No-Kalt system was installed in August 2008.
Result: The well is operating normally. With normal maintenance of the pumps, it is possible to operate without getting to a pulling, which was previously impossible due to the viscosity of the fluid.
Problem: Viscosity. The well produces but its flow is limited by this restriction. Gas lift pumping is used.
A Series 2000 No-Kalt systems was installed in January 2004.
Result: Net production was increased by more than 30% and high counterpressure problems leading to frequent breakages disappeared. The well is operating without problems ever since that date.
