New proprietary pump technology delivers essential performance and seamless integration in Venezuela’s
burgeoning oil market.
VANCOUVER, BC — May 26, 2026 — Rotoliptic Technologies is proud to announce the successful deployment of its first all-metal progressing cavity pump system in Venezuela, marking a major milestone in the company’s expanding international operations and further validating the performance of its patented pump technology in some of the world’s most demanding heavy oil environments.
Installed under cyclic steam conditions, the Rotoliptic pump achieved production rates of 800 barrels per day (BPD) from approximately 3,000 feet, delivering an impressive 74.96% volumetric efficiency (VE) at a 10% water cut. These results significantly exceeded customer expectations and demonstrated exceptional reliability and performance under high-temperature, heavy oil operating conditions.
“We’ve not seen such a high volumetric efficiency in other thermal pumps we’ve deployed.”
— Customer, Operator Service Team
Rotoliptic’s patented all-metal progressing cavity pump technology was engineered to overcome the limitations of other metal-on-metal artificial pumping systems used in thermal heavy-oil applications.
This first Venezuelan deployment highlights the growing global demand for advanced artificial lift solutions that improve production performance in challenging thermal operations. The strong field results reinforce Rotoliptic’s position as a leader in next-generation heavy-oil pumping technology, opening new opportunities for broader deployment across Latin America and global heavy-oil markets.
“We are extremely pleased with the performance achieved in this application. These results validate years of engineering and field development focused on delivering a more efficient and reliable artificial lift solution for thermal heavy oil production.”
