This paper discusses the results of high volume submersible lift equipment (HVL) installed in a West Texas carbonate reservoir. Field-wide installation of HVL was made in a primary field in 1978 during the last stages of depletion. With a high capacity reservoir and a strong water drive, a significant increase in oil production was obtained. A reserve growth by HVL installation is documented with field results. Included is a historical overview of field installations with a post installation economic analysis and a summary of required facility revisions.
