North American holiday season challenged management of ESP wells
Oilfield operations do not pause during the holiday period. ESPs continue to require frequency optimization, gas lock or pumpoff resolution, shutdowns, restarts, and interventions to prevent electrical load imbalances or vibrations. However, mobilizing technical experts to remote wellsites during peak travel seasons can create logistical difficulties and extra expense, delaying timely action, escalating risk, and even leading to deferred production. Several operators in North America were looking for a solution to these challenges.
