ESP Flowline Water Boosting for Oil Recovery

This case study outlines the implementation of an Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) flowline water boosting system by Levare to address urgent oil production needs for a Colombian customer. The client faced significant delays due to the long lead times associated with traditional surface pumping technology. Levare's solution involved delivering a specifically configured ESP system within one month, allowing for the early injection of 50,000 barrels of water per day (BWPD) at a discharge pressure of 1,800 psi. The design included two pumps and a permanent magnet motor, ensuring high efficiency and reduced operational costs. The results demonstrated a positive impact on oil production, achieving a full return on investment within the first thirty days. The system's flexible design facilitated easy relocation to other sites, and the overall project cost was reduced by 40%. This successful implementation has led to discussions about expanding the use of this innovative solution in the industry.
