PCM adapted solutions to answer various artificial lift customers challenges

PCM PCP solutions to manage wells with sand or solids

Sand management

Sand management is one of the most critical challenge when pumping Heavy Oil to ensure steady production. Progressing cavity pump system is the first choice for solids’ production, reducing drastically well intervention versus other Artificial Lift systems.

PCM PCP solutions to prevent gas lock

Gas management

Free gas production can be a headache to produce with conventional artificial lift often subject to gas lock due to accumulation of gas in the pumping system. A PCP combined with hydraulic regulators eliminates this risk and boosts the performances of a conventional PCP.

PCM Vulcain™ AMPCP thermal oil recovery solution

High temperature wells

The challenge with high oil viscosity inhibits well production and the ability to be easily produced. Thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery using steam or hot water changes radically the level of oil recovery. These thermal processes require an Artificial Lift system to be highly tolerant to steam and to very high temperature wells.

PCM completion for highly deviated well solutions

Highly deviated well

Highly deviated wells, slant wells and horizontal wells are now common practices in upstream oil production with their ability to produce higher flow rates or to address challenging pay zones. Parted rod and hole in tubing are the main failure modes to overcome. Rod driven PCPs have seen great success with those challenging well profiles.

PCM Slugger & PCM Driver™ for gas well dewatering (CSG, CBM)

Gas well dewatering

The main challenge in Gas well dewatering (CSG, CBM) is to produce water through the pump in harsh fluid conditions with a low cost completion. Progressing cavity pump system has proven to be the best artificial lift choice to manage this challenge.

PCM multiphase boosting pumps for reducing high oil wellhead pressure

High wellhead pressure

Remote or mature wells face high wellhead pressure to reach the main process facilities. It is possible to increase your production or to increase your artificial lift run life (of any ALS) by installing a boosting system nearby.

PCM automation and service solutions to improve well performance

Well performances

Oil & gas operators are looking for real time monitoring in order to improve well performances, increase their well production, reduce downtime and protect their assets. PCM can help you optimize your well production with the right PCP system and associated services.
