You're producing from greater depths, navigating extreme deviations, encountering high levels of gas and sand, and handling heavier, more corrosive fluids. In these conditions, many artificial-lift techniques can stick, lock, or wear down. Where the potential for high-volume production exists but conditions are tough, jet-pump lifting systems bring more …
