installations, we are looking at using a
cable to deploy the system through the
production tubing. This approach will
reduce installation times and costs significantly,
as well as avoid downtime. "
To help busy operators deploy and
benefit from subsurface compression, Artinian
says the company has launched an
end-to-end service. " For operators who
use this service, Upwing takes on responsibility
for the total process of producing
gas, from initial analysis and predictions
all the way through to operations
and monitoring, " he says. " We become
the operator's single point of contact for
the equipment, operations and data. "
According to Artinian, this model
emerged from the company's experience
working with operators during consultations
and field trials. He explains that
these experiences highlighted the value
of close collaboration between suppliers
and operators throughout a project's life.
" Operators want to produce more gas
from existing assets in an environmentally
responsible way, " Artinian says. " With this
model, we can take the lead on accomplishing
that important goal for our clients
while removing the capital and resource
constraints they would otherwise face. "
The service starts with an analysis and
prediction phase, during which the company
