SSP Technology
LOTSA has the technology license for using and selling a device named SuperSonic Pump (SSP) which is an Innovative Artificial Lift technology that can be deployed in wells with existing Gas Lift infrastructure.
SSP enables higher oil production in an oil well with same amount or lower Injected Gas.
SSP is installed on the tubing production at the level of Mandrel, Tubing Punch or Sliding Sleeve.
Supersonic Pump
The SSP uses high pressure natural gas as power fluid.
Its efficiency is based on the optimum use the kinetic energy of the power fluid (high pressure natural gas) to generate a sustained suction.
It decreases the bottom hole flowing pressure (Pwf) causing that well production rate increases according to the productivity index.
Supersonic Pump (SSP) Benefits
Benefits Active Owner of Production.
01
Maximize the oil production.
02
Minimize the producer well interventions frequency.
03
Reduces the deferred production.
04
Minimize production costs.
05
Increase Profit.
The SSP originates favorable dynamic and hydraulic conditions for the reduction of the Bottom Hole Flowing Pressure (Pwf), as a consequence, an increase in the Well Production Rate is achieved, as indicated on the IPR Curve.
Supersonic Pump Performance
Supersonic Jet Flow fed with High Pressure Natural Gas as Power Fluid.
SSP combines the benefits of gas-lift systems and hydraulic jet pumps.
As in Gas Lift, SSP decreases the fluid column density but also generates supersonic velocities and sustained suction at the well bottomhole.
SSP reduces the bottomhole flowing Pressure (Pwf) consequently the well production increases according to productivity Index.
