PRODUCTIONWAVESOLUTION
OPTIMIZINGPRODUCTION
In 2014, operators in unconven-
tional plays sought more effective
and efficient methods of optimizing
production.
Because of their familiarity and long
history of helping operators
bring fluids to the surface, rod lift
companies had been the default
production answer for years. But
in the unconventional plays, charac-
terized by highly deviated wells with
rapidly changing flow rates, rod lift
pumps have proven to be inefficient
in handling the gas and liquid ratios
required to maximize well economics.
The Baker Hughes ProductionWave™
production solution is tailored
to the varying production profiles
and unique economics of unconven-
tional wells.
This flagship service value combi-
nation joins our FLEXPump™ series
pumps – electrical submersible
pumps (ESPs) that can produce from
50 to 4,000 barrels of fluid per
day – with best-in-class capabilities
for gas and abrasives handling, and
unmatched monitoring and chemical
automation services. These value
add-ons deliver extended pump
life as well as flow assurance based
on paraffin, scale, and asphaltene
treatments. Unlike rod pumps, the
ESPs in the ProductionWave solution
can be set deeper in a well, placing
the pumping system closer to
the producing zone, yielding higher
production rates. In addition, they
operate reliably across a wider flow
range, enabling long-term sustained
production for maximum recovery
and improved operational efficiency.
The ProductionWave™ solution
changed the game in unconventional
wells by offering all of the standard
benefits associated with rodlift
systems – with better economics
and fewer HSE risks – while
delivering enhanced production.

IMPROVINGULTIMATE
RECOVERY
In complex deepwater environments,
millions of dollars can be at stake
every time a decision is made about
well placement or well completion.
It is crucial, therefore, that decision
makers have the most compre-
hensive and accurate reservoir
data possible.
In 2014, Baker Hughes introduced
the FASTrak™ logging-while-drilling
fluid analysis and sampling service.
The FASTrak™ service provides
quality reservoir connectivity and
fluid characterization data during
drilling for better, faster, and more-
informed decisions. It combines
our proven wireline evaluation
technology and the latest
innovations in sensor science with
our unmatched drilling engineering –
reimagining it for some of the most
extreme environments without
compromising measurement quality.
With the FASTrak™ service, we
can acquire as many as 16 uncon-
taminated reservoir fluid samples
in a single trip.
Baker Hughes has deployed the
FASTrak™ service more than 90
times in deepwater environments
from Brazil to Malaysia, as well
as onshore in the Middle East’s most
complex wells.
The FASTrak™ service changed
the game by providing timely,
accurate reservoir data so that
critical decisions impacting
deepwater recovery can be made
with confidence.
