Two leaders in well deliquification.A singular focus on customers.

Back in the 1970s, few people knew about plunger lift. A little company called Ferguson Beauregard changed all that in 1975, when it was founded in Tyler, Texas, by two entrepreneurial well production experts intent on delivering innovative and cost-effective solutions for oil and gas production challenges.

Ten years later, another company called Production Control Services was founded in a garage in the middle of the Denver-Julesberg Basin. Sharing the same passion for solving customers’ production challenges, two enterprising young inventors set out to develop high-performing products supported by outstanding field service.

Over the coming years, these two companies made strong names for themselves. With a focus on product leadership, Ferguson Beauregard led the development of plunger lift systems and created many plunger lift products still in use today. It also gained valuable experience in well control and, over the years, acquired industry-leading resources to develop sophisticated well control technology and automation solutions.

PCS also has its roots in plunger lift and well control. It holds more patents on plungers and associated equipment than any other company or individual. But first and foremost, PCS placed its focus on serving customers. As it saw their needs also grow and change, PCS responded by developing its own suite of well controllers and automation systems, and increasing its offerings to include gas lift and nitrogen generation.

The rest, as they say, is history. Through many years of developing better-performing products and collaborating with customers to solve production problems, both PCS and Ferguson Beauregard built solid reputations as experts in deliquification and production optimization. Long relied upon for better products, better expertise and better service, both companies emerged as leaders in the industry.

And, now, oil and gas producers can experience the best of both PCS and Ferguson Beauregard from a single source provider: the new PCS Ferguson.

While our name has changed, our focus remains the same: providing superior products and unrivaled service to deliquify and optimize your wells.

The end result for you: better, more efficient, more cost-effective production that clearly and quickly impacts your bottom line.

The ChAllengeWhen production falls below the critical flow rate, heavier liquids fail to reach the surface and begin to fall back to the bottom, exerting back pressure on the formation and loading up the well.

During their natural lives, most gas wells experience some type of liquid loading, when water and oil accumulate in the tubing and well bore. As the volume of those liquids increases and the well loses energy, artificial lift is needed to remove the liquids and extend the life of the well.

Plunger Lift by PCS Ferguson is one of the most economical ways to achieve maximum deliquification, particularly in marginal and aging wells. Plunger lift uses the well’s own energy in combination with a plunger—that functions like a swab—to lift and remove accumulated liquids.

Operation of the plunger lift system is dependent on the natural buildup of pressure in a gas well when it is shut in. During the shut-in time, the plunger which resides at the surface lubricator, falls through the gas and accumulated liquid to the bottom of the tubing. When the shut-in pressure is sufficiently higher than the sales-line pressure, an electronic controller at the surface activates the motor valve to open, and the built-up pressure delivers the plunger and the liquids above it to the surface.

Supported by the best plunger lift experts in the world, PCS Ferguson plunger lift systems are quick and easy to set up. Requiring low capital investment and minimal operating expense, plunger lift provides an excellent return on investment. Plunger Lift by PCS Ferguson produces production gains that typically allow it to pay for itself in as little as a few weeks and almost always within a few months.

Plunger lift utilizes the well’s own energy to cost-effectively remove liquids.

PCS Ferguson offers both PCS™ and Ferguson Beauregard™ plunger lift products. Regardless of which you choose, all of our plunger lift products are thoroughly tested, manufactured to the highest standards and backed by our decades of experience in the field.

The ChAllengeChanging conditions over their lifespans make your wells difficult to consistently and predictably produce.

In many situations, a well does not have sufficient natural energy to lift liquids to the surface at desired rates. Changing well conditions, such as reduced reservoir pressure, increasing water cuts and decreasing gas liquid ratios can make consistent and predictable production a challenge.

Opti-Flow™ Gas Lift by PCS Ferguson is the method of lift that most closely resembles the naturally flowing well. It utilizes the energy stored in natural gas under pressure in combination with injected gas to more efficiently deliver fluids to the surface.

Gas lift uses a high-pressure source to inject gas in the production string at prescribed depths downward. As the gas mixture rises to the surface, it expands, reducing the density and column weight of the fluid. This reduces the flowing tubing pressure, creating a differential pressure between the reservoir and the well bore that allows the well to flow.

PCS Ferguson uses OPTIpod™ software to determine the optimal amount of gas needed to deliver fluids to the surface and the best locations, based on pressure calculations, for the gas to be injected. These determinations are critical to ensuring optimal production.

When installing a gas lift system, the proper design makes all the difference. In addition to using the best tools available, PCS Ferguson benefits from decades of experience designing and installing gas lift systems and employs the best and most experienced gas lift experts in the business.

gas lift optimizes production from kickoff to depletion.

There are many instances where gas lift is both effective and economical, including:

• Producing wells that can’t flow naturally

• Initial unloading of a well that will eventually flow on its own

• Increasing the production rate of a flowing well

• Accommodating deviated and horizontal well bores

• Unloading a well affected by adjacent well drilling and fracturing

• Removing solids by back flowing

• Producing wells with sand or scale problems

The SOlUTIOn: gAS liftOpti-Flow™ Gas Lift provides you with a flexible method of artificial lift that can be effective throughout the lifespan of the well.

The ChAllengeUnloading and cleaning out your new drills can be a slow and expensive process. Adjacent wells can also be impacted by fracturing liquids.

Shorter spud to sales time is the ultimate challenge for oil and gas producers. Getting wells online and delivering gas can take weeks. Often, drilling can also affect nearby wells, causing them to load with communicated fluids.

Nitro2Go™ Nitrogen Generation by PCS Ferguson is a safe, affordable alternative for unloading and cleaning out wells. When source gas is unavailable, it can be used in combination with Opti-Flow™ Gas Lift for initial well unloading. At higher pressures, it can be used on its own to unload a well around the end of the tubing.

Nitro2Go’s compact, mobile units are dispatched directly to your well site and are easily moved from one location to another. Using state-of-the-art membrane separation technology, Nitro2Go generates rich, inert nitrogen gas from the air on location. The nitrogen is supplied to the well, while oxygen waste is released harmlessly back into the environment.

With unrivaled recovery rates, Nitro2Go™ Nitrogen Generation allows you to initially unload a well in days instead of weeks—saving both time and unnecessary expense. Nitrogen’s inert properties also make it an excellent choice for the cleanout of sand, scale and other production-inhibiting materials throughout the life of the well.

nitrogen generation can be implemented quickly for faster fluid recovery and faster first gas sales.

Nitro2Go is an economical solution providing a number of benefits:

• Rapid fluid recovery (at rates up to 2,000 Bbls/d)

• Fast execution and 24/7 operation
