FOR NOVOMET-CANADA, 2023 MARKS THEIR 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

Starting from zero in a small shop in Devon, Alberta was no easy task. Over the years, the Canadian operation tripled the shop space and doubled the staff size. In 2017, Novomet-Canada started in-house VSD assembly. In 2019, a new Novomet service center was opened in Weyburn, Saskatchewan to better serve our Saskatchewan clients.

Small but very experienced team, the company’s commitment to learn, grow, execute, and lead the way to sustainable positive changes helped strengthen the team, empower a growth culture, and create long-term value for both the employees and the company.

The Novomet PowerSave technology reduces energy consumption by up to 30% which significantly reduces CO2 emissions and electrical operating expenses. Over the years, the demand in Canada for sustainable and power-save technology continued to increase. Building a strong local presence and ESP well count in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Novomet PowerSave ESP’s are experiencing above average run-life cycles and quickly becoming a very desirable option for O&G companies due to economic challenges such as higher electricity prices, lower oil prices and inflation.

We would like to express our gratitude to our customers who were pioneers and early-adopters in the implementation of the Novomet SlimLine and PowerSave ESP. We also want to thank the entire Novomet-Canada team for their high professionalism and excellent results. We are proud of you! Congratulations to the whole team and our local partners for this amazing milestone. The best is yet to come!

ColibriESP on the Malaysian offshore.


News about the implementation of ColibriESP technology on the offshore.
We recently talked about the installation of Novomet systems on a platform in Qatar.
Today news from Malaysia is on the agenda.
On the offshore platform of Petronas, located near the city of Miri in the Tukau field, three 272 cable-deployed rigless ESP systems were run into gas lift wells (ColibriESP technology by Novomet).

The installation was carried out using advanced technologies in the field of downhole and surface equipment. The shut-off and flange fittings are equipped with automatic remote control subsurface safety valves.
The peculiarity is that the procedure was preceded by the dismantling of the previous equipment, accompanied by well killing. This is the first time this has been done at offshore fields. The new equipment has been put into operation. The customer is completely satisfied with the quality and reliability and is ready for further implementation in their fields.

Geyser High-Flow, High-Temp ESPs Deployed in Geothermal Wells in Turkey, Cut Electrical Usage by 28%

Geothermal power plants use water naturally heated by the earth to generate electricity. Geothermal energy is clean, renewable, and helps reduce carbon emissions related to power generation. But harsh conditions in geothermal wells cause many downhole pumps to fail prematurely. Typical geothermal well environments feature:

  • Reservoir temperatures up to 200°С (392°F)
  • Conditions prone to active scale accumulation

In 2018 and 2019, Novomet engineers used decades of knowledge and experience gained through deploying electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems in harsh oil and gas wells to begin developing a cost-effective geothermal pumping system. This newly adapted geothermal ESP system featured heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant pumps and permanent magnet motors, which consume less electricity and produce less heat than downhole induction motors. Geothermal fields in Turkey provided the challenging conditions needed for Novomet to pilot its geothermal pumping systems. After initial development and lab simulations, Novomet engineers began installing and testing geothermal ESPs in wells across Turkey.

Novomet geothermal ESP systems performed well despite the harsh conditions. After seeing how successful the first systems were, Novomet began standardizing the design so it could be offered as a new line of pumps. Because of the massive volume of water required in geothermal operations, Novomet made additional design improvements, including high-volume, high-performance pumps and high-power permanent magnet motors. The result is the high-temperature, high-flow Geyser geothermal ESP.

In November 2019, three more Geyser geothermal ESPs were installed in Turkey. These systems have the ability to produce fluid at the rate of 10,000 m3/day (2.6 million gal/day) and they are powered by highly efficient 660-kW permanent magnet motors. These three systems are still running perfectly and bring the total count of Geyser ESP systems in operation in Turkey to 21. Despite geothermal fluid temperatures ranging from 155–195°C (311–383°F) Geyser systems have now been in operation for more than 380 days.

Because Novomet ESP designs are more efficient than competing systems, Geyser ESPs have also reduced the electricity required to pump a cubic meter of water in geothermal operations. The closest competing geothermal pump in Turkey uses 1.25 kWh per cubic meter of produced water, while Novomet Geyser systems consume only 0.9 kWh to lift the same volume of water. This reduces ongoing power consumption and costs by 28%, further supporting the goal of reducing carbon emissions.

Finding cost-effective, alternative energy sources remains a high priority for countries and companies alike in a joint effort to curb the increase in global average annual temperatures. Geyser ESP systems not only support sustainable geothermal energy initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but they also reduce energy consumption by lowering the power required to produce geothermal fluids. Novomet is an active supporter of the Paris Agreement and is proud to join other technology-forward companies in the hunt for alternative, green energy solutions.
