DEFINE AVERAGE SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF OIL AND WATER

• SG (Average) : (SgW x % water) + (SgO x % oil)

(1.00 x 0.16) + (.873 x 0.84) = 0.893

• Define fluid gradient : Water gradient x SG (average)
0.433 x 0.893 = 0.387 psi / foot
DETERMINE PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF WELL
• Define well datum : {(Bot. Perf - Top Perf) / 2} + Top perf.
{(8648- 7234) / 2} + 7234 = 7941 Ft

• Determine Fluid below pump (FBP) : Datum - PSD… (Ft)

7941 - 7100 = 841 Ft
• Convert FBP in to pressure : Distance (Ft) x Fluid gradient
841 x 0.387 = 326 psi
• Calculate pressure at Datum (TUP) : FBP + PIP
326 + 820 = 1146 psi ----------- Pwf

• Calculate pressure at Datum (TUP) : FBP + PIP

326 + 820 = 1146 psi ----------- Pwf

TUP is the expected Pwf (FBHP)

• Get the ratio of Pwf / Pr : (FBHP / SBHP)

2135 / 2500 = 0.854

Plot the value of Pwf / Pr in to IPR Vogel to get the value ratio of Q/ Q max.

DEFINE FORMATION VOLUME FACTOR (FVF)

FVF is a factor that is used to determine the total volume of fluid pumped in the
well which includes gas in the well fluid
Data required : - GLR 720 Scf/ Bbl
- Temp 230 °F
- Degree API 32 °
- SG gas 0.78

• Define Q pump = (Qnew x % of oil x FVF) + (Qnew x % of water)

Q pump = (1225 x 0.84 x 1.4) + (1225 x 0.16) = 1637 BPD

DETERMINE TOTAL DYNAMIC HEAD (TDH)

• PIP (pump Intake Pressure) measured in psi

PIP (known) = 820 psi

• Convert PIP in to Feet (FAP = Fluid Above Pump). (PIP / Fluid Gradient)

FAP = 820 psi / 0.387 psi/ft = 2119 Ft

• Define Net Lift (NL) . (PSD – FAP)

Net Lift = 7100 – 2119 Ft = 4981 Ft

• Define friction loss / 1000 Ft,

Prod rate : 1637 BPD, Tubing : 3 ½ EUE

Plot on the Tubing Friction loss Chart

DETERMINE TOTAL DYNAMIC HEAD (TDH)

• Friction loss / 1000 Ft =

10 Ft ----------> from Chart
• Total Friction loss = (PSD/1000) X (FL per1000Ft}

(7100/ 1000) x (10) = 71 Ft

• Convert Tubing Head Pressure (THP) in to Ft.

800 (psi) / 0.387 (psi/Ft) = 2067 Ft.

TDH = NL + FL + THP

TDH = 4981 + 71 + 2067 = 7119FT

• Q = 1637 BPD, (look at pump catalogue), consider electrical frequency (60 Hz),

select pump size that is suitable to the production rate

Select pump :

• Determine Total Stage Required (TSR) to lift fluid = TDH / LPS (Lift Per Stage)

Lift per stage (LPS) = 19 Ft.

Total Stage Required (TSR) = (TDH / LPS) = 7119 / 19 = 375 Stages

MOTOR SELECTION GN1600

• Find HP/ stage required from the pump curve
HP/ stage = 0.90HP , fluid SG = 1.00
• Total HP required (THP) : SG x HP per stage x TSR
THP = 0.893 x 0.90 x 165 = 132 HP

DN1750 68% / 19 feet lift per stage therefore 375 stages; 120 HP required
GN1600 60% / 43 feet lift per stage therefore 165 stages; 132 HP required

For this example we will use the pump with the greatest efficiency
And the least HorsePower needed i.e DN1750
