Abstract This paper presents advanced solids-management technologies designed to increase the service life of electric submersible pumping (ESP) systems by reducing failures and/or unplanned shutdowns caused by pump shaft sticking (Johnson et al., 2022; González and Guanacas, 2017). As a result, these technologies contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions and the environmental impact associated with well interventions (Mariano and Mariano, 2021). These technologies were implemented in eigh
