Research Energy Consumption of Well Electric Submersible Pumps for Oil ProductionVolume 2, Issue 1 Published online: 29 February 2016
AbstractDownhole artificial lift is the most energy-intensive process at the oil companies. In the current economic conditions, the oil companies are forced to optimize the power consumption for production processes. To do this, you must have a methodology for calculating the energy consumption of all oil-producing equipment. Energy losses occur in all parts of the electrical submersible pump: in the pump units: submersible motors, electrical cables, transformers and control station.. The authors conducted a study on the impact on the power consumption of various technological and operational parameters. The power loss in the electrical cable depends on its temperature. However, determining the average temperature of the cable is quite a challenge, as the temperature varies with depth of the well, there is a self-heating cable from the current flow, heat transfer through the shell with the well fluid, the fluid is heated, the heat developed operating the pump unit. The dependence of energy on the viscosity of the borehole fluid. It is known that the viscosity of the changing characteristics such as pump pressure, flow and efficiency. The use of a variable frequency drive is one of the main ways to reduce the energy intensity of the mechanized process of oil production. The paper obtained plot of the specific energy consumption of the borehole pump from frequency of the supply voltage. When adjusting the pump performance varies depression and reservoir, respectively, and the oil recovery wells. Therefore, to determine the optimal performance of the pump for the payment by a particular well is problematic. The results of these research can be useful to specialists in the development of the oil-producing enterprises of measures to optimize energy consumption. References
