This session will showcase the optimization on the PCP operation from different perspectives from surface to downhole. The session includes a field case study about using Permanent Magnet Motors as a surface equipment technology in PCP wells. An application from Argentina will bring the details about Lubricated Transmission Systems implemented in PCP wells with key operational outcomes of this technology. Last but not least, a field case study about the use of PCP to optimize well testing operations in selective zones will be presented in this session.
