VC900 Low-Flow Pump Case Study

As shale reservoirs mature and formation pressures decline, production rates across the Permian Basin are trending steeper. To meet the growing prevalence of low-flow, high gas-to-liquid ratio (GLR) wells, our team developed the VC900 pump as a purpose-built solution for these demanding conditions.

With vane openings substantially wider than comparable low-flow pumps, the VC900 is engineered to mitigate gas-lock interference and deliver improved stability and efficiency in the multiphase environments characteristic of today’s unconventional wells.

The VC900 has consistently demonstrated reliable performance in conditions exceeding both the lower bound of its target flow range and the upper limit of its specified GLR range, including in active operations within Texas’ Delaware Basin.

Overview

A Delaware Basin customer required stabilization of a horizontal well where pronounced GLR variability and elevated motor temperatures were driving repeated shutdowns.

Solution

By integrating variable speed drive controls with downhole sensors and 24/7 eyes-on surveillance, Valiant helps you avoid early failures and capture every last barrel.
