Application of ESP pump with intelligent control system in well X

Abstract

ESP (Electric Submersible Pump) pumps are one of many methods of artificial lift used in the world. By optimizing the operation of the pump, a balance is achieved between the inflow of fluid from the reservoir and the equipment, which prolongs the run life of the equipment and increases production. Remote monitoring of the ESP system and its parameters in real time enables the evaluation of the pump's performance trend, as well as the prediction of potential equipment failure, which leaves room to take measures that would prevent well workover. The level of technology, in addition to monitoring, also offers remote and automatic control of the ESP system. Intelligent control stations of the ESP system use mathematical algorithms to draw and analyze the pump performance curve and, based on them, automatically change their operating parameters so that they are the most optimal. Another great advantage of this system is that it allows virtual measurement of well production via an algorithm based on IPR (Inflow Performance Relationship) analysis.
