Introduction

Artificial raise refers to the usage of synthetic manner to growth the glide of liquids, which include crude oil or water, from a manufacturing nicely. Generally, that is done via way of means of the usage of a mechanical tool withinside the nicely (called pump or speed string) or via way of means of lowering the burden of the hydrostatic column via way of means of injecting fueloline into the liquid far down the nicely.  
This route will assist increase a stable basis in all kinds of raise and the standards of the choice technique to maximise manufacturing and go back on investment. 
Artificial raise is wanted in wells while there may be inadequate stress withinside the reservoir to boost the produced fluids to the surface, however regularly utilized in clearly flowing wells (which do now no longer technically want it) to growth the glide fee above what could glide clearly. The produced fluid may be oil, water or a combination of oil and water, normally blended with a few quantity of fueloline. 

Targeted Groups 

  • Production and field operations engineers,
  • Junior and Senior Petroleum Engineers
