Lightning Production Services is now stocking it's flagship thermoplastic tubing liner, LightningFlo™ LF115B, in Williston, ND. It is ready to serve operators across the Bakken with a cost-effective solution to protect against rod wear and corrosion in deviated wellbores.
LightningFlo™ lined tubing was installed in thirteen deviated wells experiencing a high failure rate. Their performance was monitored for two years post-installation.
Well conditions/failure rates prior to installation:
The graph below compares the failure rates these wells experienced before and after installing LightningFlo™ lined tubing. Installing lined tubing caused the tubing failure rate to dramatically decrease by over 90%, and reductions were seen in both the rod and pump failure rates.
Based on the above results, the operator implemented a field-wide lined tubing plan, installing LightningFlo™ lined tubing in all wells with two or more failures in the previous 12 months and producing less than 250 bfpd.
