The high-performance, high-reliability choice for artificial lift.
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 outperforms other artificial lift solutions, vastly reducing the need for costly workovers and associated well downtime. ULTRA-FLOW is designed to perform in all stages of a well’s production life, in both initial artificial lift installations and to replace less effective artificial lift methods that demand excessive workovers.
The ULTRA-FLOW System is an artificial lift technology stack that combines our SELECT-JET downhole Jet Pump, powered from the surface by a Hydra-Cell® Pro seal-less positive displacement diaphragm pump from Wanner Engineering.
The important characteristics of ULTRA-FLOW are simplicity, reliability, and flexibility. Our patented technology (US PAT. 7,255,175) can be used in all stages of a well’s production life. Since the downhole pump has no moving parts and can be reverse circulated to the surface, the ULTRA-FLOW System is the best choice for initial flowback, wells that are “frac-hit” and need rapid fluid recovery, and most importantly, wells that are plagued by unnecessary workover costs.
INITIAL ARTIFICIAL LIFT INSTALLATIONS
Start Strong with ULTRA-FLOW
Ultra-Flow is the most reliable, longest lasting system for initial artificial lift installations, when sustained production is most critical, and downtime is not an option.
Why Start with ULTRA-FLOW?
Starting your well with the ULTRA-FLOW System.
- Installation is faster, easier and therefore less expensive than ESP
- Rate of production is easily controlled
- Handles produced sand through the downhole pump that would cause ESPs to fail
- ULTRA-FLOW can be used to size your permanent form of artificial lift
EXISTING ARTIFICIAL LIFT INSTALLATIONS
Make the Switch to ULTRA-FLOW
Replace rod pumps and ESPs with a more reliable form of artificial lift. ULTRA-FLOW Systems handle solids, corrosives, and are unaffected by deviated wellbores.
Why Switch to ULTRA-FLOW?
Reduce excessive workovers and associated downtime required by inferior artificial lift systems.
- Maintain operations and efficiency for longer durations
- Replace rod pumps and ESPs with a more reliable artificial lift technology
- The best solution for frac-hit wells and those plagued by excessive workovers
Key Features and Benefits
- No moving parts downhole
- Sand / Solids production is excellent
- Pump can be hydraulicly retrieved
- High performance in deviated wells
- No mechanical connection to Jet Pump
- Produced water/oil powers the Jet Pump
- Wide range of production volumes
- Production volume is determined by injection rate / pressure
- Control production volume at the surface with VFD
- Versatility of Jet Pump installation possibilities are endless
- Temporary or permanent installations
- Hydra-Cell Pro diaphragm pumps costs less to operate than a conventional triplex plunger pump and are far more efficient than a multistage centrifugal pump (H-Pump)
Mitigate Workover Costs
Simply by reducing the number of workovers required, total costs can be slashed and productivity savings can be realized that far exceed the difference between the ULTRA-FLOW System and lower-cost, but less effective, artificial lift methods including:
- Mobilizing a workover rig including rental or operational costs of the rig
- Labor costs including engineers, rig operators and specialized technicians
- Materials and equipment costs for casing, tubing, specialized tools and equipment required for specific workover tasks such as milling tools and fishing tools, etc.
- Fluid costs such as drilling mud, completion fluids, or stimulation fluids
- Costs of transportation and logistics of the equipment and personnel
- Other costs and contingencies including pre- and post-workover testing, permitting and regulatory compliance, inspections, and post-workover modifications and repairs
- Most significantly, downtime and production losses during a workover
Outperforms Other Solutions
Gas Lift
- Lack of infrastructure to move gas around field
- H2S Present, which can damage engines needed for compression
ESP
- Frac and Formation sand quickly damages DH Pumps
- High GLR/GOR decreases ESP Efficiency
- Highly corrosive produced water/oil decreases run-times
- High Temperatures can overheat DH Motors
Rod Lift
- Lifting capacity(volume) extends fluid recovery time (by months)
- Sand/Solids issues for DH Pump
- Corrosives damage pump/rods/tubing
- High GLR’s reduce lifting efficiency
- Typical Rod/Tubing wear (Reciprocating)
Progressive Cavity Pump (PCP)
- Depth limitations with PCP
- High temperature damages pump stator
- Production volume limitations
- Rod/Tubing wear (Rotating
