Operators in Colombia’s Dina Terciarios, Loma Larga, and Flamencos fields were challenged by frequent rod failures, abrasive fluids, high solids production, and complex well geometries that led to costly interventions and reduced production reliability. Seeking a more dependable artificial lift solution, they partnered with Levare to improve run life, lower operating costs, and increase overall system performance. 


Levare deployed its rodless Permanent Magnet Motor–Progressive Cavity Pump (PMM-PCP) system, featuring a high-torque Permanent Magnet Motor, enhanced Flex Shaft, and PTFE centralizers to eliminate conventional rod-related failures while improving reliability in demanding downhole environments. The solution extended run life by up to 274%, enabled the deepest PMM-PCP installation in Colombia at 8,760 ft, and expanded to more than 70 field installations across the country.


Beyond extending equipment life, the PMM-PCP system reduced energy consumption by 16%, eliminated deferred oil production losses, and lowered intervention costs by nearly $245,000 while improving long-term production reliability. The project demonstrates Levare’s ability to deliver innovative rodless artificial lift solutions that maximize efficiency and performance in challenging heavy oil and high-solids applications.
