Paper: (26) ARTIFICIAL LIFT LEARNINGS IN BONE SPRING AND WOLFCAMP FORMATIONS OF WEST TEXAS DELAWARE BASIN

In the West Texas Delaware Basin, at Anadarko, we are very early in our development of the Bone Spring & Wolfcamp formations. Our current artificial lift strategy is to use gas lift or jet pump as intermediate lift, followed by rod pump. We implement these methods of artificial lift to produce high total fluid volumes and reduce downhole failures. This presentation covers what we have learned so far and the questions that remain to be answered as we determine the most effective way to produce these wells.
