What is Artificial Lift ?

When the reservoir pressure is not sufficient to lift hydrocarbon from the bottom of the well to the surface, the lift mechanism employed to lift them to the surface and transport to the nearest collecting or separating facilities is called "Artificial Lift". The following list gives some commonly used artificial lift systems:

  • Gas Lift (GL)
  • Rod Pump / Sucker Rod Pump
  • Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP)
  • Hydraulic Pump
  • Progressing Cavity Pump (PCP)
