Oil and Gas Technology Program Oil and Gas Technology Program PTRT 2432 Artificial Lift Green Book Chapter 1 Planning an Artificial Lift Program

Oil and Gas Technology Program Objectives Explain principle of artificial lift List the factors to be considered in designing a program Explain the relationship between reservoir engineers and operating personnel in assessing and predicting reservoir performance Explain how inflow capability is evaluated (PI and IPR methods) Explain how outflow is related to getting the desired rate of production Realize the importance of minimizing downtime and lost production in obtaining economic gain from a well

Oil and Gas Technology Program Principle of Artificial Lift Over time reservoir pressures decline Artificial lift is a means of furnishing the power necessary to bring oil or gas to the surface in the absence of sufficient reservoir pressure 80% of wells in the US are on some type of artificial lift. Of those: – 10% use gas lift – 85% use sucker rod pumping – 5% all other methods

Oil and Gas Technology Program Design Considerations Reservoir characteristics – Porosity – Permeability – Presence of sand – Fluid saturation – Formation pressure and temperature Reservoir drive – Water drive – Solution-gas drive – Gas cap – Combination Properties of the oil, water and gas – Density – Viscosity – Paraffin content – Shrinkage – Scaling tendancies – corrosiveness

Oil and Gas Technology Program Design Considerations Inflow and Outflow characteristics – PI – Gas-to-liquid ratio – Water cut – Physical dimensions – diameter and depth Well completion data – Reservoir depth and thickness – Type of completion – Completion interval – Casing and tubing size – Hole deviation Available power – High-pressure gas-lift gas – Fuel gas – electricity

Oil and Gas Technology Program Reservoir Performance Drive mechanism determines how the productivity and character of the fluids can be expected to change during the life of the well Expected recoverability of fluids – Solution-gas drive = 5 – 30% – Gas-cap drive = 20 – 40 % – Water drive = 35 – 80% Engineers provide predictions to the operating personnel based on available data AND update periodically based upon production data and periodic well tests Both need to work together for maximum recovery – Operator can’t make “blind” changes – Engineer can’t predict without field data

Oil and Gas Technology Program Reservoir Drive Mechanisms Solution-gas driveGas cap drive Solution-gas driveGas cap drive Water drive

Oil and Gas Technology Program Well Inflow Characteristics One of the most important – Nothing can be produced is nothing can flow into the wellbore – Reservoir and fluid characteristics are key Assuming no complications or restrictions then single-phase flow (liquid only) – Proportional to difference between shut in pressure (P) and the well bore pressure (P wf ) (drawdown)

Oil and Gas Technology Program For well producing 200 bbl/day and BHP = 4000 psia P wf = 3000 psia This PI good for the life of the well

Oil and Gas Technology Program Effect of permeability

Oil and Gas Technology Program Effect of two-phase flow PI = 0.2 as before Called IPR (Inflow Performance Relationship)

Oil and Gas Technology Program Well Outflow Characteristics To achieve desired rate of production – Flowing BHP (P wf ) must be reduced to the level require by the inflow characteristics – P wf is limited by the outflow characteristics of the well Outflow refers to the flow system between the bottom of the well and the stock tanks In the simplest system (rarely true) – Single phase liquid throughout – Depends on hydrostatic pressure Friction losses Backpressure from separator

Oil and Gas Technology Program Simplest System

Oil and Gas Technology Program Typical flow up the well

Oil and Gas Technology Program Typical flow Use IPR and PI to match the characteristics of the outflow system – Producing capacity increases with drawdown BUT – Capacity of pumping unit decreases with depth The point where the two curves intersect is the optimum depth to set the pumping unit

Oil and Gas Technology Program Optimum Depth Estimate
