SESSION 2NEW ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES
1005 - 1035OPTIMIZING ARTFICIAL LIFT USING MULTIPHASE PUMPS
- In oil wells the annulus gas pressure is a restriction to the well inflow and improved production economics
- The annulus gas pressure keeps the static tubing level low and rod pumps or ESP’s face NPSH pumping problems
- By drawing down the annulus gas pressure using a multiphase pump at the well head the lift pump off uptime is increased without venting or flaring the gas.
- The multiphase pump, which is a rugged and simple design handles all flow regimes from 100 % gas to 100% liquid without using a scrubber or blow case.
