Subsurface Configurations

The highly-versatile Jet Pump can be effective in many types of subsurface situations.

Jet Pump Completion Configurations Overview

Reference guide summarizing key downhole configurations used with jet pump artificial lift systems. Fixed Jet Pump Configuration A fixed jet pump is set inside the well using a packer and seating assembly. The nozzle, throat and diffuser remain in place…

Hydraulic Jet Pump Components and System Integration

Hydraulic jet pump artificial lift systems are unique in that the energy transfer happens through fluid dynamics rather than through moving mechanical components downhole. To understand their effectiveness, it is necessary to examine the anatomy of the pump and its…

Jet Pump Artificial Lift

Principles of Operation and System Advantages Artificial lift technologies are central to extending the productive life of oil and gas wells. Among these, hydraulic jet pumps offer a unique combination of simplicity, flexibility, and resilience in harsh well conditions. Unlike…

Use Cases & Conditions

Explore the operating environments where jet pumps perform reliably, including high-temperature wells, deep or deviated wells, solids-rich production, and applications requiring rigless deployment or flexible drawdown control.

Jet Pump Advantages in Deep Wells

Introduction Deep wells present some of the toughest conditions for artificial lift systems, where extreme depths, high hydrostatic heads, elevated temperatures, and evolving fluid properties often overwhelm conventional methods like ESPs, rod lift, or gas lift. Rod strings stretch and…

Jet Pumps in High-Temperature Reservoirs

Introduction High-temperature reservoirs pose unique challenges for artificial lift systems, often pushing conventional methods like ESPs and rod pumps beyond their material and thermal limits. Elevated temperatures accelerate elastomer degradation, stress downhole motors, and increase scaling or gas liberation, leading…

Gas Well Deliquification Using Jet Pumps

Design and Operational Considerations Gas well deliquification is critical in extending the economic life of a reservoir. Once liquids begin to accumulate in the wellbore, hydrostatic backpressure builds and gas deliverability declines. Artificial lift is often required to restore flow,…

Jet Pumps in Horizontal and Deviated Wells

Introduction Horizontal and deviated wells present unique challenges for artificial lift systems due to geometry, solids production, gas influx, and extended lateral reach. Conventional lift methods such as rod pumps, ESPs, or gas lift often struggle with mechanical wear, gas…
