PERANCANGAN PROGRESSIVE CAVITY PUMP UNTUK MENINGKATAN HASIL PRODUKSI PADA SUMUR YANG BERADA DI LAPANGAN Y

Abstract

The development of artificial lift technology continues to increase along with the need for greater oil and gas production. Some types of artificial lift that are commonly used include electrical submersible pump, progressive cavity pump, gas lift, and plunger lift. Each type has specific uses depending on the well conditions. To maximize production, a performance analysis and redesign of the PCP pump is required, which includes determining the total dynamic head, pump model, pump RPM, motor power, rod size, drive head type, drive motor size, belt, and sheave according to production data, well configuration, and fluid characteristics. This research aims to increase production by determining the maximum flow rate, optimum flow rate, critical flow rate, and evaluating the performance of the PCP pump in well X of field Y. In addition, this research also focuses on redesigning the PCP pump to achieve maximum production results. PIPESIM software and Microsoft Excel were used for data processing. The results showed that the performance of PCP pumps installed in five wells of the Y field gave mixed results. Wells 1, 3, and 5 achieved target flow rates of 348.44 STB/d, 939.27 STB/d, and 805.04 STB/d, respectively. However, wells 2 and 4 did not achieve the target due to the limited PCP pump model available in PIPESIM. Keywords (Sentence Case) : Artificial Lift, Progressive Cavity Pump
