Delivering performance round the clock

Our intelligent lift service leverages 24/7 remote monitoring to proactively identify potential issues, including gas lock and low flow. By detecting problems early, we can implement timely corrective actions and preventative maintenance to minimize downtime. Performance Live™ digital service delivery centers provide comprehensive support, from surveillance and real-time alerts to actionable recommendations and execution of solutions.

Intelligent lift can be used in multiple environments, including offshore wells, large brownfields, unconventional plays, high-GOR wells, and heavy oil wells. You can tailor the services to meet your requirements—from operations in a single well to an entire field.

Performance Live centers

Our domain and OEM experts monitor your operations 24/7 at one of many Performance Live digital service delivery centers. Surface measurements, downhole gauge data, and AI-based analytics are used to provide real-time support, such as

  • preventing or mitigating adverse events
  • diagnosing probable causes
  • providing actionable recommendations.

Data is transferred via satellite or cellular connection to and from remote locations, hostile environments, and sites with limited data acquisition capabilities.

The power of being digital

Our software empowers you to optimize your artificial lift operations through a combination of data-driven analytics and physics-based modeling. By leveraging advanced techniques, we extract actionable insights from operational data to identify patterns and trends that drive performance improvements. Simultaneously, our physics-based models simulate system behavior to predict equipment performance and optimize operating conditions. This integrated approach provides a comprehensive understanding of artificial lift systems, enabling real-time monitoring and informed decision making.
