electrical submersible pumps

When evaluating artificial-lift requirements, sometimes data present uncertainties at the initial planning stage. This paper presents the integrated and structured methodology that was used to deal with high-uncertainty conditions.

Electrical submersible pump (ESP) systems are critical to achieving the maximum production rates and reservoir pressure drawdown that improve ultimate recovery. But variable volumes of gas in unconventional wells can pose challenges for performance of the ESP.

A production-optimization strategy of an artificial-lift system resulted in the mitigation of challenges related to reservoir heterogeneities and completion design.

It was established that improving the reliability of the TH-connector system has a direct effect on the unintervened life of the ESP electrical system.

This paper describes the use of a root-cause-failure-analysis (RCFA) process to improve artificial-lift-system performance in a project in Chad.

The Papa-Terra field in the Campos basin in Brazil is identified as having an oil interval of 14.6°API in turbidite sandstones.

Intelligent completion systems have the ability to monitor and optimize reservoir performance in real time without mechanical intervention.
