Velocity ALS

What Velocity ALS does

Velocity ALS (legally Velocity ALS SAS in Colombia; also branded Velocity Artificial Lift Solutions) is a production engineering specialist that designs, distributes, and supports artificial lift equipment for oil and gas operators. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Houston, Texas with a regional office in Bogotá, Colombia, the company targets the failure modes that limit run life of electrical submersible pumps (ESPs), beam pumps, and progressive cavity pumps (PCPs), including sand intrusion, gas interference, and chemical imbalances (scale, paraffin, corrosion). Its offering spans nine product categories: Sand Control Solutions (Vortex Desander, Sand Handler, Filtration Screens, Homogenizer Screens), Gas Separation Solutions (G-Force Packerless, ESP Guardian Shield, Packer Type Gas Separator, Slotted Gas Shield, Gas Vent, Surge Valve, Gas Release System), PMM Safety Tools (PMM Guardian, Sleeve Drain Valve, Auto Safety Disconnect), Cable Protectors, Solid Chemical Treatment Solutions (Chem Stick with patented micro-encapsulation, plus Chemical Screen and Quick Release), Nanotechnology (FullSTIM, CeraFLO, NanoCLEAR, MicroHOLD, NoHIT, SandBOND), Stimulation and Production Chemicals, High-Performance Control and Choke Valves, and ESP Accessories. The company also offers engineering services for design, recommendations, optimization, installation, and uninstallation of downhole tools, as well as training certifications and well-sample testing (sand sieve and physicochemical analysis).

The company generates revenue through two streams: equipment and product sales (hardware) and engineering services, both priced on a quote-by-quote basis with no public pricing disclosure. It operates an enterprise field-sales motion staffed by sales engineers who execute targeted initiatives with oil and gas operators, supported by field engineers who handle installation, operation, and maintenance; local inventory in Colombia enables immediate delivery. The customer base is concentrated in Latin America (notably Colombia, via Gran Tierra Energy and others) with stated reach across 6+ countries, 20+ customers, and 2,300+ wells optimized, and a documented 168% average runtime increase on optimized wells plus 4,500+ PCP Pressure Actuated Relief Valve applications worldwide. Quality and safety credibility is anchored by ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, and the company is reinforcing its position through a cluster of strategic alliances with Republic Oil Tools and Odessa Separator Inc. (November 2025) and a deepened strategic alliance with Gran Tierra Energy that earned a 2025 Key Partners recognition for technical performance and HSE excellence.
