Optimizing artificial lift placement in highly deviated wells

Published: Nov. 10, 2020, 10:03 p.m.

We talk with Stephen Forrester (Content Development Manager) and Alberto Leal (Business Manager for Argentina and Bolivia) from Gyrodata about their article "Optimizing artificial lift in highly deviated wells using analysis of high-density tortuosity and bend data" on page 34 in the October 2020 issue of World Oil. We examine case studies and learn how operators can see the true geometry of their well saving them hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in remediation costs and lost production.
