Providing a Full Range of Artificial Lift Products and Services For the Life of the Well

Offering a full range of artificial lift solutions, we are equipped to help operating companies optimize their artificial lift operations, whether ESP, Rod Lift, Gas Lift, Plunger Lift, or Capillary Services. We bring together breakthrough solutions, such as our BLAZE® surface treatment, with a commitment to working closely with our customers to optimize the reliability, efficiency, and productivity of their artificial lift operations.

Proven Lift Technology

An important element in our commitment to our customers is our development and application of technology that can contribute to the success of artificial lift operations. One technological breakthrough that has impacted all lift processes is our BLAZE surface treatment. BLAZE is proven to increase the run life of couplings, rod guides, gas lift mandrels, plungers, trim kits, ESP stages, and more by up to 5x.

ESP

Endurance Lift provides comprehensive ESP systems, including pumps, all sensors, intake and gas handling equipment, VSDs, conventional motors and PMMs, and power control systems. For ESP operations, BLAZE surface treatment has been demonstrated to increase the life of both AR bearings and stages.

Gas Lift

Supporting gas lift operations are Endurance Lift valves, mandrels, packers, on/off tools and stingers, profile and seating nipples, and various tubing accessories. In gas lift applications, BLAZE-treated mandrels have been demonstrated to better withstand a wide range of downhole conditions and provide significantly longer life than conventional mandrels.

Rod Lift

Our advanced FSR (Fiberglass Sucker Rods) allow customers to increase production without having to up-size beam unit equipment. We also supply API standard and specialty rod pumps, proven to provide a combination of high performance and long life. Covering all of your rod lift equipment requirements, we offer a comprehensive selection of TAC products and components, as well as BHAs and wellhead equipment We further support this market with rod inspection services that help customers attain maximum life for sucker rods.

Plunger Lift

Endurance Lift offers a broad selection of plunger types to help operators match plungers to the demands of the production decline curve. In addition, we manufacture key supporting components such as motor valves, wellhead lubricators, and chokes. BLAZE-treated plungers have been demonstrated to increase plunger run life by more than 3X, adding to the value that Endurance Lift brings plunger lift.

Capillary Services

Endurance Lift’s Capillary Services are designed to improve well productivity and the run life of downhole artificial lift equipment. In addition to Capillary Services, Endurance also provides related equipment, including downhole injection valves, injection manifolds, chemical injection mandrels, TACs, various metallurgies for specific capillary applications, and banding material and cannon clamps.


Working in Partnership

We appreciate the importance of the word “service” in our designation as an “oilfield service company,” and our commitment to our customers is a core value that guides our actions every day. We are driven to be an artificial lift services company on which customers can rely, day in & day out. We bring together breakthrough technologies that span the production curve with a level of service that creates lasting partnerships with our customers – from initial field analysis to implementation and training.

An important element of our service offering is our WellIntel™ program, a robust equipment monitoring platform. WellIntel enables customers to audit our equipment’s performance by well, lease, field, asset, or basin, providing a digital healthcare record for your well’s equipment.

BLAZE® treatment – extending  the run life of lift equipment by up to 5X

BLAZE® is a low-friction, abrasion- and corrosion-resistant surface technology that is proven in thousands of installations to extend the run life of a wide range of artificial lift parts.

ESP
A large operator in the Powder River basin was only achieving approximately 35 days of ESP run times. Gas slugging conditions, resulting in no-flow or very low flow fluid rates, contributed to extreme downhole heat and thermal shocking of conventional Tungsten Carbide (TC) bearings in the ESP. The result was fracture failures and catastrophic damage to surrounding downhole components. BLAZE AR bearings were introduced as an alternative to TC bearings, with no other changes made. The run life of the ESPs equipped with BLAZE AR bearings exceeded the average run times of ESPs using TC bearings by over 5X.

Gas Lift
An operator in the Bakken was experiencing short run times (approximately 6 months) due to failed mandrels. H2S corrosion in the lug and mandrel body behind the Gas Lift Valve (GLV) port was primarily responsible for the failures. After 8-1/2 months, the operator proactively pulled the system, providing an opportunity to inspect the parts. The BLAZE-treated mandrels (both lugs and mandrel bodies) experienced ZERO erosion- corrosion from the effects of the downhole environment. Following the inspection, the operator was confident enough in the BLAZE mandrels to re-run them downhole.

Rod Lift
A large oil and gas producer in the Permian Basin needed to extend runs between tubing wear failures in highly deviated wells. Other challenges presented by these wells included high sand production and a significantly corrosive downhole environment. The operator decided to employ BLAZE-treated couplings to reduce coupling-on-tubing friction. It was also decided that FIBEROD® fiberglass sucker rods would also be used as part of the effort to further increase run times. For over two years, none of these wells have experienced any failures due to tubing wear. In addition, based on the reduced coupling-on-tubing friction, the actual pump stroke in these wells is now equal to that of wells having no deviation.

Plunger Lift

An operator in East Texas was achieving median run times of approximately 90 days on a well in the Cotton Valley Basin. These wells contained high levels of abrasive sand, which proved to be the leading factor in the poor run times. A BLAZE-treated 12” Cleanout-Style plunger was tested on this application, and it delivered a 3.7X run time improvement over the conventional plungers that had been used. This performance led the operator to switch to BLAZE plungers for other wells.

BLAZE® Surface Treatment – A Quick Explanation

BLAZE® is a Thermal Boron Diffusion Process that produces a slick, hard, intermetallic layer within metal surfaces. BLAZE-treated parts resist mechanical wear, corrosion, and abrasion – outperforming chrome, nickel carbides, and other alternatives.

BLAZE is not a coating or plating. Instead, it is a surface treatment which creates an intermetallic layer that cannot peel or crack and does not alter the dimensions of the part. BLAZE treatment is available on pumps, plungers, trim kits, valves, guides, couplings, and other components.
