Verifying Feasibility of Artificial Lift Methods in Rapid Selection Tool

Abstract

Abstract Conventional artificial lift selection tools often involve cursory table lookups with interdependent variables and generous design value ranges. This paper describes a semiautomated selection tool created to perform a screening level of analysis for several industry available artificial lift alternatives to quickly direct users towards preferred methods for further investigation. This approach takes the user provided well, fluid and field data, and applies a series of filters, resulting in a summary page displaying feasible and preferred well-specific artificial lift solutions for further investigation.
