Artificial lift means a technology which helps to enhance the capability of the production wells to deliver natural hydrocarbon liquids like oil and gas to the surface since the natural pressures of the reservoir are incapable of removing them.

• Worldwide demand for Artificial Lift Systems is spurred heavily by the need to increase the productivity of many oil and gas assets which are primarily, located in the mature field where natural reservoir pressure has waned significantly. These systems are particularly important in keeping and increasing production rates in wells that do not flow naturally. All those upstream operations involve the use of artificial lift systems such as ESPs, rod lifts, gas lift, and PCPs to reduce cost and improve operations. The kind of artificial lift system to install depends on factors such as the depth of the well, fluid and its characteristics and properties, and the characteristics of the reservoir which makes the artificial lift market specialized and fragmented. They are most commonly used in high volume wells because they perform optimally well when dealing with relatively large amounts of fluids.
• However, rod lifts are used in the onshore facilities since they are more dependable and involve low maintenance as compared to the tubular lift. In contrast, gas lifts are widely used in offshore environments where issues such as limited area as well as environment are critical. PCPs are now being adopted because they can deal with high viscosity and sand laden fluids that are characteristic of the production of shallow, unconventional oils.
• Automated technologies are evolving and altering the Artificial Lift Systems Market network while encouraging developments that increase output, minimize equipment breakdowns, and prolong the life span of the systems. There is a greater reliance on the application of digital solutions in the form of real time or predictive monitoring and maintenance to allow the operator to maintain control and knowledge of the systems and to identify potential areas of failure. 2019 also focuses on the improvement of other main features of lifts, the introduction of automation or the use of other robust materials that can extend the life of the lifts is also evident. Further, there is a demand for the systems to work in different environments such as high temperature and high pressure reservoirs markets.
• The pressure for more sustainability outcomes is demanding that more energy efficient and ecofriendly lift solutions be created that decrease the impact and carbon emissions from oil operations. It is this focus on the sustainability of resources that is further pushing manufacturers of equipment and energy companies to work together and set a cooperation on the innovation path.
• The Artificial Lift Systems Market trends vary from region to region, depending on the factors such as the maturity of the oilfield, level of technology, and regulatory standard. North of America especially USA is still a key market given the number of mature oil fields and on going high interest in shale oil production. Experiences oil field service providers, together with the availability of improved technologies also support the implementation of artificial lift systems within the region.
•  On the other hand, Middle East, focusing more on the fledging field and how to optimize the production at mature ones, is now dedicating more to enhanced oil recovery. To handle the high temperature and the corrosive fluids in the region reservoir it has caused the need for specialized equipment systems. South America and Africa are growing markets; offshore as well as onshore facilities require artificial lift systems in these regions. These regions are now relying on the most competent oil players to enhance production capabilities of oil.
• Oligopolistic structure of the artificial lift systems market is defined by the presence of numerous major international oilfield service companies as well as the specialized of lift system manufacturers. Various players are concentrating on new product development, affiliate market acquisitions, and joint ventures to access the variety of market demands. They are also emphasising the post sale services and contract based services which are very important to retain the clients and to make the lift systems to perform optimum in a long run. There are now entrants within the local regions that are gaining entrant by providing practical and more affordable solutions mainly in the regions where aspects such as budget controls and localization are paramount. It is for this reasons that competition remained a complex affair where technological global leadership paired with regional specialization. Traditional and new lift technologies are still developing and have become a part of oil field basic requirements for essential manipulations for artificial lift systems.
