Beyond Initial Inflow: Operational Pitfalls in Sizing Rod Pumps Versus ESPs for Late-Life Carbonate Reservoirs

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: An operational critique examining the trade-offs between ESPs and rod pumps in pressure-depleted carbonate reservoirs. It evaluates run-life economics, gas-handling limits, and downhole failure modes during mature waterflood operations.
