Case Study: Bahar Energy achieves >1,000% ESP run life increase with SLB Lift IQ service and sand control

Bahar Energy Increases ESP Run Life >1,000% By Using Lift IQ Service and Sand Control String

Bahar Energy was struggling to keep an ESP running in an offshore well in the Gum Deniz field in the Caspian Sea, where heavy solids production caused repeated failures. After several third-party ESPs failed in less than a month, the company turned to SLB and its Lift IQ service to better manage the well and protect the pump.

SLB implemented Lift IQ for real-time surveillance and remote monitoring, and later added a cost-effective sand control string to reduce plugging from sand. With this fit-for-well solution, the ESP has continued operating for 1,301 days, improving run life by more than 1,000% and reducing unnecessary shutdowns and equipment stress.
