Levare Presents Technical Paper at the 2025 SPE Europe Energy Conference
June 12, 2025
Paper Title: Low-Speed Permanent Magnet Motor Driving an Electric Submersible Progressing Cavity Pump for High Sand, Deviated and Low-Flow Wells in Colombia
At the 2025 SPE Europe Energy Conference, Levare presented a groundbreaking paper detailing the deployment of a high-torque, low-speed Permanent Magnet Motor (PMM) coupled with an Electric Submersible Progressing Cavity Pump (ESPCP) in Colombia. This innovative configuration eliminates the traditional gearbox, a common point of failure, by connecting the PMM to the PCP through a flex shaft, enabling concentric-to-eccentric torque transfer while transmitting the axial load generated by the pump directly to the motor seal thrust bearings.
Tested and validated in field operations, this PMM-PCP system delivered over 16% energy savings compared to conventional PCP setups using induction motors, and over 40% versus ESPs in low-flow wells. It also achieved significant improvements in system reliability and run life, increasing from less than six months to over three years, all while reducing operational costs and carbon footprint. The presentation highlighted how this technology offers a reliable and efficient artificial lift solution for challenging well conditions, including high sand content, deviation, and low flow rates.
Levare International Limited (Levare), headquartered in Dubai, UAE, is a market leader in artificial lift engineering, manufacturing, sales, and servicing of electric submersible pumps (ESP), permanent magnet motors (PMM) and horizontal pump systems (HPS).

Pete Miller – Rebrand Q&A
1. What was the rationale behind the rebrand to Levare International?
The company has grown and evolved, it has undergone restructuring to reach an exciting juncture where the international business is a distinct and separate division. Hence, restructuring, renaming and rebranding of the company to Levare International Limited will better align with the forward-thinking mindset of who we are today, and reflect the growing portfolio of artificial lift solutions offered to our global clients within the oil & gas producing industry and beyond.
2. Why did you choose the name Levare?
“Levare”, meaning ‘lift’ in Latin, embodies the Company’s strategic blueprint for growth, the Company’s vision of natural resource inclusion, and its commitment to uplifting its employees, customers and other stakeholders to a culture of innovation, investment and diversification.
3. What differentiates Levare International from its competitors? And, has the rebrand changed that in any way?
As a client-focused organization with an engineering mindset, we listen to our clients and respond to their changing needs within the technically challenged landscape they operate. The breadth of offerings that our team of industry experts provides to our clients, from sustainable technologies like the permanent magnet motor, to the strategically located facilities throughout the world, is continuing to grow every day through organic evolution, innovation, and manufacturing bandwidth.
4. What changes will your existing customers see? For example, new name, new logo, but other than that…business as usual?
Our customers will see business as usual. While they will see a new name, new logo, new website, there will be zero contractual changes to how we do business with our customers. The product quality and customer satisfaction, as well as the values of transparency, versatility, inclusion and reliability will remain intact, but with an intentional approach on trust and transformation.
5. What benefit(s) will the new Monterrey, Mexico manufacturing facility provide your customers?
The new facility allows Levare to have a secure and independent supply chain as we expand our business into the green Geothermal sector, as well as the Mining and Industrial markets.
6. As a thought leader in the industry, how is Levare investing in product development, as well as keeping an eye on sustainability?
As the industry’s leader in ESP permanent magnet motors, our vision is to expand this technology that offers lower OPEX and reduced carbon emissions further into the O&G market and expand its value into the Geothermal, Mining and Municipal markets.
