Any system that adds energy to the fluid column in a wellbore with the objective of initiating and improving production from the well. Artificial-lift systems use a range of operating principles, incl [..]

Oil recovery method that involves creating negative pressure (vacuum) in the production well to speed up the inflow of oil or gas from the reservoir. Either beam pump units on the surface or downhole [..]

A variety of techniques used to improve oil flow rates in production wells. These include gas lift, electrical submersible pumps and electrical rod pumps.

ahr-tuh-fish-uhl lift Any techniques, other than natural drives, for bringing oil to surface.

  Pumping an oil well with a rod, tubing, or bottom-hole centrifugal pump may be termed artificially lifting crude oil to the surface or doing so by mechanical means.

Any method used to raise oil to the surface after a well ceases to flow.

Indicated on the Completion Report, Potential Report and DM-1-R

Any method used to raise oil to the surface through a well after reservoir pressure has declined to the point at which the well no longer produces by means of natural energy. Sucker rod pumps, gas lif [..]

A system that boosts the fluid column in a production well in order to improve flow rates. A range of solutions are possible, including gas lift, electrical submersible pumps and electrical rod pumps.

A system that is intended to improve and enhance production from the well.

Any method used to raise oil to the surface through a well after reservoir pressure has declined to the point at which the well no longer produces be means of natural energy. Sucker rod pumps, gas lift, hydraulic pumps, and submersible electric pumps are the most common forms of artificial lift.

Any method used to raise oil to the surface after a well ceases to flow.
