Wells face challenges at every stage of their lifecycle: early surges in production, mid-life declines, and the need for late-stage optimization. Each phase demands a unique approach, and that’s where Flowco comes in.
Flowco was born from the merger of three industry leaders—Estis, Flowco Production Solutions, and Flogistix—creating a powerhouse of production optimization expertise. Together, we offer the most comprehensive suite of technologies and services tailored to maximize your well's performance, from initial production all the way through to late-stage recovery and methane abatement. We call this seamless approach ONE FLOWCO.
“The creation of Flowco is a pivotal moment for the industry. By bringing together the best-in-class technologies and services from Estis, Flowco Production Solutions, and Flogistix, we’ve created an unmatched end-to-end solution that supports every phase of a well’s lifecycle. This is what ONE FLOWCO is all about—delivering seamless production optimization from start to finish.”

In the critical early stages of a well’s life, it’s all about maximizing production. Estis’ High-Pressure Gas Lift (HPGL) systems are deployed immediately following well completion, allowing operators to maximize output without the need for downhole intervention. Our systems rely exclusively on surface equipment, minimizing downtime and ensuring optimized production when it matters most.
HPGL delivers the same or better production rates when compared to electronic submersible pumps (ESPs) and has the potential to drive a 30%+ production rate increase over conventional gas lift in the early life of the well. In addition, HPGL requires no power grid and has proven especially reliable in sandy formations, highly deviated wellbores, high GOR wells, high IP and other situations that prove difficult for ESPs.
Estis has long been a trusted leader in HPGL, and with Flowco, that legacy continues. Our precision-engineered well pad compression systems maximize uptime, production, and profits, ensuring operators get the most out of their well’s early surge.
As the well enters its mid-life phase, maintaining production becomes a balancing act. Flowco Production Solutions specializes in gas lift and hybrid gas lift systems that take over from HPGL, utilizing both surface and downhole equipment to maintain efficiency and maximize resource recovery. Every well is unique and Flowco provides expert personnel and equipment to address challenges such as liquid loading and inconsistent production – optimizing your gas lift injection, and gas lift well design.
Optimization isn’t just about hardware. Flowco integrates advanced digital solutions that provide real-time monitoring and automation, allowing you to adjust production parameters on the fly. This minimizes downtime, enhances efficiency, and increases long-term profitability.
And, as the well matures Flowco’s plunger lift systems use the natural energy of the well to keep production flowing. With many variations of plunger types based on well production and conditions, rest assured that there is a solution that meets your unique well conditions. These solutions extend the economic lifespan of the well while keeping costs low—a winning combination.
As environmental concerns become increasingly critical, operators face growing pressure to reduce emissions while maintaining profitability. That’s where Flowco steps in with Flogistix’s cutting-edge vapor recovery and Estis’s methane abatement technologies.
By capturing valuable natural gas that would otherwise be lost, our systems not only boost revenue but also help operators stay ahead of tightening environmental regulations. From methane recovery to emissions reduction, Flowco’s technologies are designed to maximize value and minimize your environmental footprint—ensuring your operation is both profitable and sustainable
At Flowco, we understand that life-of-the-well optimization shouldn’t mean juggling multiple providers and piecemeal solutions. That’s why we’ve unified our expertise under one banner—ONE FLOWCO. From early high-pressure gas lift solutions, to mid-life conventional gas lift, and on to late-stage plunger lift, and with technology options for vapor recovery and methane abatement, Flowco offers a seamless and integrated approach that covers every phase of a well’s lifecycle.
When you partner with ONE FLOWCO, your well is always in expert hands. Our end-to-end solutions ensure that no matter where your well is in its lifecycle, we deliver the efficiency, reliability, and long-term success you need to stay competitive in today’s market.
With ONE FLOWCO, we’ve got your well covered—every step of the way.
