Abstract
More than #0$ of oil %ells in the %orld are producing &' artificial lift
method, of %hich more than 5 $ is produced &' E(P)s" !he *ondition for installation
of E(P are lo% reser+oir pressure, high %ater cut" !he' are fle,i&le to &e used in deep
%ater reser+oirs" !he initial installation cost of E(P is +er' lo%, if electricit' is easil'
a+aila&le and its operating cost is +er' lo%"
!his report gi+es a &rief outline of Artificial lift screening: rationale and
criteria for selecting the E(P" A %ell model %as cali&rated to actual production in PM
P-.(PE- suite" A &asic E(P design is then &uilt on the cali&rated %ell model and the
incremental reco+er' due to application of E(P has &een compared to the results of
natural flo%"
E(P is a technolog' that ena&les an engineer to increase the production of %ell
&' using electrical energ'" !his electrical energ' is con+erted into mechanical energ'
&' help of pump, %hich imparts /inetic energ' to the fluid %hich is in turn con+erted
into pressure head" !his report traces the &asic of E(P, its component, t'pe of
installation and designing of E(P"
E(P is ideall' suited to produce e,tremel' high li0uid +olumes from medium
depths and can &e used in de+iated %ells %ithout an' pro&lem, &ut further research is
also necessar' on the E(P techni0ues to increase its effecti+eness"
