The integration of Pump Checker analytics is expected to enable operators to enhance production performance and equipment reliability in both electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems and gas lift systems. 

ChampionX president of production & automation technologies business segment Paul Mahoney said: “The acquisition of Artificial Lift Performance is key to our strategic focus on digital growth and our vision to deliver end-to-end digital solutions that enhance the productivity and profitability of our customers’ producing assets.”  

ALP founder Sandy Williams said: “ChampionX and ALP have a shared vision for creating a true digital oilfield, backed by a technology road map rooted in customer needs and opportunities in the market.  

“Our digital offerings are complementary and create differentiated value for our customers today and even more so in the future. Combining this technology synergy with a natural cultural fit sets our teams up for shared success.” 

Recently, ChampionX introduced an ESP Control System for unconventional wells.  

This technology is engineered to manage the demanding downhole conditions of ESP systems in these wells, which include fluctuating production rates, increasing gas intrusion and power quality challenges.
