Leverage C-FER’s Experience & Third-party Perspective
For over 40 years, C-FER Technologies has been bringing artificial lift operators together to tackle challenges related to equipment reliability through Joint Industry Projects (JIPs) such as:
- ESP Reliability Information and Failure Tracking Systems
- Sucker Rod Pump Production and Reliability Optimization
Drawing on our experience with failures and root cause analysis for artificial lift systems, this Joint Industry Project will tap into existing infrastructure, failure nomenclature standards, and benchmarking experience developed for the ESP and PCP industries.
C-FER’s third-party perspective ensures non-biased results.
