This paper presents a case study highlighting the demonstration, refinement, and implementation of a machine-learning algorithm to optimize multiple electrical-submersible-pump wells in the Permian Basin.
-
This paper presents a closed-loop iterative well-by-well gas lift optimization workflow deployed to more than 1,300 operator wells in the Permian Basin.
-
This paper explores the use of machine learning in predicting pump statuses, offering probabilistic assessments for each dynacard, automating real-time analysis, and facilitating early detection of pump damage.
-
The accelerating deployment of machine learning and automation is changing the artificial lift landscape. By embedding intelligence into the control loop, operators now can move from reactive decision-making to proactive, continuous optimization.
-
The experience captured in this paper illustrates the potential of deepwater riserless wireline subsea intervention capability and the fact that it can be expanded beyond hydraulic-only, simple mechanical, and plugging-and-abandonment scopes.
-
The subsea field is part of the larger Snøhvit development in the Barents Sea.
-
A 2D computational fluid dynamics model is extended to a 3D submodel and validated to provide detailed information on the state of the standing valve as a function of time to assist in sucker rod pump design and operation.
