Troubleshoot
Identify, diagnose, and correct common jet pump performance issues. Practical insights and visual aids help teams quickly resolve challenges in the field.
Troubleshooting Gas Interference in Jet Pump Artificial Lift
Engineers rely on steady inflow and consistent jet pump performance to maintain drawdown and production targets. Gas interference disrupts both. While jet pumps tolerate gas better than many lift systems, too much free gas at the intake reduces energy transfer…
Managing High-Temperature Jet Pump Operations
High-temperature wells present unique challenges for any lift system. Jet pumps handle heat well because they have no downhole electronics, but temperature still influences fluid behavior, corrosion, and overall system reliability. This article describes the checks and adjustments needed to…
Troubleshooting Jet Pump Performance in Deviated and Horizontal Wells
Jet pumps are often used in high-angle or horizontal wells because they operate without mechanical downhole components. Still, well geometry introduces flow challenges that must be addressed to maintain stable performance. This article outlines how deviation affects jet pump behavior…
