OPTIMIZING AN ELECTRIC SUBMERSIBLE PUMP DESIGN & ANALYZING THE FLOW PATTERN AT DEVIATED WELLS

Abstract

This research is about optimizing an Electric Submersible Pump design and analyzing the Flow Pattern on Deviated Well X and Well Y. The objective of this research is to design an optimum Electric Submersible Pump that meets the production target and can operate within the operating envelope and operating condition; besides, it also analyzes parameters that influence the Flow Pattern while using the proposed Electric Submersible Pump. The methodology starts with collecting the required data, constructing the simulation, and finally analyzing and discussing the results. As a result, the Optimum ESP manufactured selected are the CENTRILIFT G3500 for Well X after can achieve the production target of 3255 stb/d and ALKHORAYEF WE-11000 for Well Y achieve the production target of 3780 stb/d. The flow pattern analysis shows that deviated wells and ESP manufacturing are slightly affect the flow pattern at all, while it's mostly affected by the other parameters such as GOR.
