JET Lift 

What is Jet Lift?

Jet lift is a proven artificial lift method that uses high-pressure power fluid to efficiently bring oil and other well fluids to the surface. Instead of relying on moving mechanical parts downhole, jet lift systems harness fluid energy through a nozzle and throat assembly to create a venturi effect that draws fluid from the reservoir and lifts it to surface. This simple yet powerful approach delivers reliable performance in challenging conditions, including high solids (sand), corrosives, gas interference, and deviated or horizontal wells.

What is Artificial Lift?

AArtificial lift refers to the use of surface energy (hp) to lift fluids from a wellbore. Artificial lift systems are used to decrease bottomhole to increase the flow of fluids to the wellbore, such as crude oil, water, or natural gas from a producing well. Artificial lift is used in wells that have insufficient pressure from the reservoir to force the formation fluids (hydrocarbons) to the surface but can also be used in naturally flowing wells (that technically do not need it) to increase the flow rate above what would flow without lift.

Generally, artificial lift systems employ a mechanical pump inside the well, which is used to decrease the hydrostatic column of fluid in a wellbore that is exerting backpressure on a producing reservoir. The fluid produced from a well may be oil, water, natural gas, or a mixture of some or all of these.

Types of Artificial Lift Systems

• Sucker Rod Pump uses a system of reciprocating rods to actuate a downhole positive-displacement pump.
• Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) is a submerged multistage centrifugal pump that is installed on the end of the production tubing. A downhole electric motor is supplied power via a cable that is run from the surface and is banded to the outside of the tubing.
• Gas Lift uses a compressor and a system of mandrels to inject natural gas into the wellbore and lighten the column of fluid holding backpressure on the formation.
• Progressing Cavity Pump (PCP) uses a system of rotating rods to actuate a downhole positive-displacement pump.
• Jet Lift uses fluid power from a surface pump to power a downhole  hydraulic jet pump (AKA Venturi or Eductor Pump).

What is the ULTRA-FLOW System?

JJ Tech’s ULTRA-FLOW System is an advanced, reliable and durable artificial lift solution. It pairs two proven technologies to provide a surface/downhole pumping solution that can outperform other artificial lift solutions, by reducing the need for costly workovers and all associated costs due to well downtime. ULTRA-FLOW is designed to perform in all stages of a well’s production life. Initial installations include frac flowback and well cleanup, or ULTRA-FLOW can be used to replace less effective artificial lift methods that require excessive workovers.

The ULTRA-FLOW System is an artificial lift technology stack that combines SELECT-JET downhole Jet Pump, powered from the surface by a Wanner Engineering’s diaphragm pump.

The key characteristics of ULTRA-FLOW are simplicity, reliability, and flexibility. Our patented technology (US PAT. 7,255,175) can be used in any stage of a well’s production life. Since the downhole jet pump has no moving parts and can be reverse circulated to the surface, the ULTRA-FLOW System is the best choice for initial flowback, “frac-hit” wells that need rapid fluid recovery, and most importantly, wells that are plagued by repeat workover costs.
