rumah # 4. Dalam laporan ini, akan menyimpulkan pilihan artificial lift dan studi kinerja
masing-masing artificial lift yang akan diterapkan di bidang ini dalam rangka
mengoptimalkan produksi masing-masing setiap sumur. artificial lift yang akan dibahas

tambahan produksi cairan dari setiap baik menghasilkan oleh setiap angkat buatan.
Dalam laporan ini, akan menggambarkan artificial lift yang akan diterapkan dan
perbandingan untuk setiap artificial lift, dan akan menyeleksi artificial lift terbaik yang akan

Syste Informasi umum sistem Artificial Lift
Umumnya, dalam artificial lift desain insinyur tersebut adalah dihadapkan dengan
pencocokan kendala fasilitas, artificial lift capability, reservoir tekanan dan sumur
produktivitas jadi bahwa suatu efisien instalasi mengangkat hasil.
Reservoir tekanan dan sumur produktivitas
Di antara faktor yang paling penting untuk dipertimbangkan adalah reservoir
tekanan dan sumur produktivitas Jika producing rate vs producing bottom hole pressure
diplot, inflow performance relationship (IPR) akan terjadi. Ketika tubing performance curve
(TPC) digariskan dalam grafik yang sama dengan (IPR) kurva, laju produksi optimal akan
menentukan.
Kombinasi dari IPR dan tubing performanca curve, yang juga dikenal sebagai system
Nodal System Analysis. Dengan menggunakan NSA, kinerja dari setiap sumur di bawah
berbagai kondisi untuk setiap artificial lift dapat diprediksi, dan dengan menggunakan future
IPR, prediksi masa depan dari kinerja sumur juga dapat dianalisis.
Pemilihan artificial lift, akan dianggap sebagai laju produksi tambahan yang dapat
dihasilkan oleh masing-masing artificial lift.Tingkat produksi addional ini diperkirakan dengan
menggunakan NSA kinerja suur di masa depan
Fluida Reservoir
The characteristics of the reservoir fluid must also be considered. Sand production can
be very detrimental to some types if lift. The producing gas-liquid ratio (GLR) is very
2

important to the lift designer. Free gas at pump intake is a significant problem to all of the
pumping lift methods but is beneficial for gas lift, which simply supplements the lift energy
already containe in the producing gas.
Advatages and Disadvantages of Some Types of Artificial Lift
Gas Lift
Advatages
Gas lift is the best artificial lift method for handling sand or solid materials.
Deviated or crooked holes can be gas lifted with minor lift problems.
Well maintenance/intervention can be easily done as gas lift permits the use of such
equipment.
Gas lift has a low profile, not too much surface equipment adjustment to support gas
lift installation.
Well subsurface equipment is relatively inexpensive and repair and maintenance of
this subsurface is normally low.
Installation of gas lift is compatible woth subsurface safety valves and other surface
equipment.
Disadvantages
Relatively high back pressure may seriouslu restrict production.
Gas lift is relatively inefficient, often resulting in large capital investements and high
energy operating costs.
Adequate gas supply is needed throughout the life of project. In addition,there must
be enough gas for easy start-ups.
Increasing water cut increases the flowing bottom hole pressure with a fixed gas lift
pressure.
Operation and maintenance of compressors can be expensive.
The difficulty increased when lifting low gravity crude oil.
Sucker Rod Pump
Sucker rod pumping systems are the oldest and most widely used type of artificial lift
for oil wells. Sucker rod pumping systems should be considered for new, low volume stripper
wells because operating personnel are usually familiar with these mechanically simple

systems and inexperienced operating personnel operate this type of equipment with greater
efectiveness than other types of artificial lift.
Sucker rod systems should also considered for lifting moderate volumes from shallow
depths and small volumes from intermediate depths. Most of the parts of the sucker rod
pumping system are manufactured to meet existing standards, which established by
theAmerican Petroleum Institute (API). The sucker rod string, parts of the pump and
unanchored tubing continously subjected to fatigue. Therefore, the system must be more
efficiently protetected against corrosion than any other lift system to insure long equipment
life.
Sucker rod pumping systems are incompatible for crooked holes. The ability of sucker rod
pumping systems to lift sand is limited. Paraffin and scale can interfere with the efficient operation
of sucker rod pumping system.
If the gas-liquid separation capacity of the tubing-casing annulus is too low, or if the
annulus is not used efficiently, and the pump is not designed and operated properly, the pump will
operate inefficiently and tend to gas lock. And other disadvantage of this systems is that the
polished rod stuffing box can leak. However, if the proper design and operating criteria are
considered and followed, those disadvantages can be minimized.
Electric Submersible Pump
Advantages
Adaptable to highly deviated wells (up to 80o)
Adaptable to required subsurface wellheads 6 apart for maximum surface location
density
Permit use of minimum space for subsurface controls and associated production
facilities
Quit, safe and sanitary for acceptable operations in an offshore and
environmentally conscious area.
Generally considered a high volume pump - provides for increased volumes and
water cuts brought on by pressure maintenance and secondary recovery operations
Permits placing well production even while drilling and working over wells in
immidiate vicinity.
Disadvatages
4

Will tolerate only minimal percents of solids production

Costly pulling operations to correct downhole failures

While on a downhole failure, there is a loss of poduction during the time well is
covered by drilling operations in immediate vicinity

Not particularly adaptable to low volumes - les than 150 b/d gross

Long life of ESP equipment is required to keep production economical with high
water cuts, approximately greater than 90%.

Production Before Artificial Lift


Before artificial lift is applied in this field, Table 1 is shown the result of production
without any support from artificial lift, produced with tubing ID 2.992 inch. It can be seen
that during 1000 days, is the plateu production as the surface facility constraint (separator
capacity) is 10,000 b/d. . But, at t= 2500 days the production is declined below 50% of the
separator capacity. And at t= 3000 days, the production is only 22.45% of separator capacity.

In Table 2, shown the cumulative production that resulted for 3000 days. As the
reservoir is supported by weak water drive, assumed that recovery factor (RF) is 40%. Based
on this assumption, the amount of original oil in place can be determine by using below
equation:

Where:
N

= reserve (MMSTB)

Np

= cumulative production (MMSTB)

The total of cumulative production from each well is 23.56 MMSTB, by using equation 1,
the amount of oil reserve of this field is 58.91 MMSTB.
Artificial will be applied in each well in order to get more production and maintain the
production for some period.,In this report, will discussed the additional production by using 3
artificial lift method, as below:
1. Gas Lift
2. Sucker Rod Pump (SRP)
3. Electric Submersible Pump (ESP)
Each artificial lift will start not in the same time, depends on each system and the
puposes. For example, pumping system (SRP and ESP) can not start when there is a huge
amount of produced gas. They will be installed before the produced gas is not high.
Next explaination will discussed the application of each artificial lift in detailed. Later the
additional production from each artificial lift will be compared in order to select the type of
artificial lift to be applied in this field.

Gas Lift Application


Gas Avaibility
The avaibility of the gas in the field will be a significant factor for choosing gas lift
system. In this report, assumed that there is no limitation in gas avaibility. But there are some
conditions.
In this field, there is a produced gas from the production wells. This gas will be used for
injected gas lift, the excess gas will be put on sale (will not discuss on detailed, as only the

focus is on gas for lifting). But if the gas from production wells can not meet the need of
injected gas for lifting, assumed that there is a near gas well that drilled espcially for gas lift
purpose.
As the time goes on, the produced gas from each well will be increased. The system
need to be made to separate gas for sale and gas for lifting purpose. The important thing is,
the amount of gas for gas lift system have to be fixed, or the injected gas plus the gas released
from the reservoir will dominate the colomn of the production well. If this occur, the oil can
not be produced. That is why the amount of gas that need to be injected for each well have to
be controlled.

Facility Constraints
From Table 1, after 2500 days of production water produce for each well are relatively
in small amount (below 50%). The produce gas which is shown in GLR data are varied,
Well#1 and Well# 3 have a small amount of gas released from the reservoir liquid. Well# 2, Well#
4, and Well# 5 have a great amount of produced gas.
Each well performance at t = 2500 days (based on separator constraint) will be
described in the next explaination. The well performance will be analyze with the sensitivity of
Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) to Tubing Performance Curve (TPC) under various total
Gas Liquid Ratio (GLR).

From each gas lift performance curve (GLPC) the optimum and maximum gas injection
rate for each well can be determine, so that the total gas injection that need need for gas lift for
this field can be determine too. Then, to distribute the amount of gas from compressor to each
well can be determine by using the master plot of gas lift, the detailed of master plot of gas lift
will discussed as follow.
Convert gas lift performace curve to gas injection rate vs. liquid production rate. Read
the liquid production every 0.25 MMCFD increase gas injection rate to determine the slope,
do this for each well. Then plot gas injection rate vs slope for all wells in the same graph
(Master Plot 1).
From slope 50 to 0, read the total gas injection rate then plot total gas injection rate per
slope vs slope (Master Plot 2). From this plot, determine the optimum gas injection rate and
see the slope. Go back to Master Plot 1, from the optimum slope in Master Plot 2 see the gas
injection rate for each well. These gas injection rate is the amount of gas injection that will be
distribute for each well for gas lifting. Next are the convert GLPC (qg vs qL) foreach well.

Setelah mempelajari semua faktor yang mempengaruhi aplikasi gas lift untuk bidang
ini. Ini menunjukkan bahwa, tidak semua sumur dapat menghasilkan secara efektif dengan
menggunakan gas lift sebagai dukungan. Beberapa sumur telah memiliki jumlah besar
reservoir gas, sehingga untuk menginstal gas lift di sumur ini tidak akan membawa manfaat
sama sekali, sebagai aliran di dalam sumur akan didominasi oleh gas dan cairan yang tersisa
di dalamnya. Sumur yang cocok untuk gas lift adalah well # 1, # 3 well, dan well # 5.

Gas yang akan digunakan untuk lifting gas akan berasal dari gas yang dihasilkan
dari sumur produksi yang lain. Tidak perlu untuk mengebor sumur gas tambahan atau
gas transportasi dari lapangan terdekat, sebagai gas yang tersedia di bidang ini.
Kelebihan gas (dari reservoir dan tidak digunakan sebagai lifting gas) akan mengangkut
ke titik penjualan.
Untuk t = 3000 hari, total GLR yang akan digunakan adalah total GLR setelah
injeksi gas lift. Lakukan analisis GLPC yang sama untuk t = 3000 hari untuk
menentukan laju injeksi gas dan tingkat produksi cair yang dihasilkan.

Surface Pumping Unit Selection
Semua jenis balok memompa Unit geomteries terbagi dalam dua kelas yang berbeda:
1. Kelas I sistem tuas, (Unit Konvensional)
2. Kelas III sistem tuas (Air Seimbang dan Lufkin Mark II)
Pilihan unit pompa akan didasarkan pada parameter baik, kondisi operasi,
biaya dan avaibility. Sebuah unit konvensional mungkin dipilih karena personil lapangan
yang akrab
dengan itu, sedangkan ukuran yang relatif kecil, berat badan rendah dan gaya inersia dan
gemetar rendah dari
Unit udara skor akan membuat menjadi pilihan yang baik untuk sebuah situs luar negeri atau

Dalam bidang ini, unit pompa permukaan yang akan digunakan adalah unit konvensional
sebagai konvensional lebih umum daripada yang lain dan sumur di bidang ini hanya <3.000
ft.
Sucker Rod String Selection
Sucker Rod string adalah sistem getaran kompleks yang mengirimkan energi dari
peralatan permukaan ke pompa bawah permukaan. Tapered batang string digunakan untuk
meminimalkan berat total batang tali.
Tegangan maksimum di bagian atas rod string adalah puncak dipoles beban batang
(PPRL) dibagi dengan luas penampang batang atas. The minimum stres di jalan atas adalah
minimum dipoles batang oad (MPRL) dibagi dengan luas penampang batang atas.
Hubungan tegangan maksimum dan minimum adalah:
()
Dimana: T = kekuatan tarik minimum untuk batang (90.000 psi untuk API Grade C
batang
Dan 115.000 psi untuk API Kelas D batang)

Subsurface Pump Selection


Komponen utama dari pompa bawah permukaan adalah:
1. Barel Kerja, terhubung ke pipa
2. Plunger, terhubung ke batang pengisap
3. Katup Travelling, bagian dari perakitan plunger
4. Berdiri katup, yang terletak di bagian bawah laras bekerja
Di bagian bawah dari pompa, terhubung ke barel bekerja, biasanya ada
jangkar gas berlubang, yang allowa cairan formasi untuk memisahkan sebelum masuk pompa. Itu
juga mengarahkan banyak gas gratis ke casing-tabung anulus dan ditingkatkan pompa
efisiensi.
Pompa batang ditarik dapat dibagi menjadi tiga tipe dasar:
1. Pompa Tubing
2. Pompa Insert / batang
3. Pompa tubing
Laras kerja pompa pipa merupakan bagian integral dari string tubing. Ini adalah
menguntungkan dalam menyediakan untuk pembangunan pompa paling kuat, dan
memungkinkan
diameter plunger maksimal menjadi hanya sedikit lebih kecil dari diameter pipa,
sehingga
memaksimalkan volume cairan yang dapat dipompa. Kerugian dari pompa tabung
adalah
bahwa seluruh tubing string yang harus ditarik untuk melayani barel kerja dan lainnya
pompa hardware. Pompa Rod adalah kebalikan dari pompa pipa, untuk memiliki
pekerjaan pelayanan tidak
diperlukan untuk menarik seluruh string, tetapi volume yang dapat dipompa kurang
dari tabung
pompa.

When the sign plus for conventional units and the minus sign is for air balance or Mark II
units. c/p is the crank-to-pitman ratio.
If the travelling valve closes and standing valve opens at the instant the downward
acceleration is maximum, a force balance at the same instant yields PPRL:
PPRL = (weight of fluid colomn) + (weight of plunger) + (weight of rods) +
(acceleration term) + (friction term) - (upthrust from below on plunger)
The friction and the weight of the plunger not give a very significant effect compared to other
factors. The upthrust from belo on the plunger is the pressure of the produced fluid times the
plunger area. Hence:

Where P3 is the pump intake pressure. The first term on the right-hand side of above equation can
be written as:

The second term is the buoyancy force on the rods, given as:
(

)(

Where s is the density of the steel (490 lb/ft3). As the API of oil in this field is 35o, the value of the
specific gravity is 0.85. Term 0.1273f

is equal to 0.108. So that the above equation can

expressed as Fb=0.108Wr. PPRL equation can be written as:


When moving up, the plunger is moving up near the bottom of the stroke. The
travelling valve is closed and standing valve is open. The upward acceleration isthe same with
downward acceleration, denoted by 2. But, the minus sign is for conventional units and the plus
sign is for air balance and Mark II units.
The instant upward is maximum, a force balance at the same instant yields MPRL:
MPRL = (weight of rods) + (weight of plunger) - (friction term) - (acceleration term)
- (buoyancy term)
As before, the weight of the plunger and friction term will be neglected. The buoyancy force
is given before. So MPRL equation can be written as:

29

Pump Intake Curves


Consideration of predicting intake curves for beam pumps are:
1. Pumping only liquid
2. Pumping gas with the liquid, assumed that all the associated gas is pumped with the
liquid
Pump intake pressure equation, from equation 10 can be written as:
[

PPRL and 1 relationship can be described by subtitute from equation 1, can be written as:

Subtitute min from :


Recall equation 11, the equation is written as:

2 is upward accelaration, recall equation 5 by changing 1 to 2, then the above equation can be
written as :
(

So that, equation 13 can be written as:


(

After some algebraic manipulation, equation 12 now can be written as:


[

]
[

Note that, the plus sign is for conventional units and the minus sign is for air balanced or
Mark II units.
SN2 in equation 17, can be written as:

From equation 4, equation 18 can be written as:

30

Substituting equation 17 into equation 19 gives:


[

]
[

To simplify, equation 17 can be written as:


Where:
[

]
[

SN2 also can be written as:

Then,
Where:
[

Note that,
, and

The minimum allowable intake pressure (or the maximum allowable production rate) can
be determined from the condition that the maximum stress in the top rod must not exceed the
allowable stress for the grade of the rods. The expression is given belo:
(

[(

Inequallity in equation 28 gives the minimum allowable value of SN 2 which, if subtituted in


equation 17, gives the minimum allowable intake pressure.
31

The procedure for constructing intake curves is given as follows:


1.

Decide on the type of surface pumping unit.

2.

Select a pump size, a sucker-rod string, and a c/p ratio.

3.

Calculate Ap, K, and Wr. Determine f, then calculate Wf.

4.

Calculate a and b, as functions of N. And calculate c, as a function os S.

5.

Assume various pump speeds and for each of these speeds, calculte b; then plot P3 vs
qsc.

6.

Assume stroke lengths and for each of these lengths, calculate c; then plot P3 vs qsc.

7.

Plot IPR Curve.

8.

Determine the maximum allowable stress for the grade of rods used; then calculate the
minimum allowable value of SN2. Used this value of SN2 to calculate the minimum
allowabe intake pressure. Impose this value of P3 (horizontal line) on the plot prepared
before.

9.

Read rates at the intersection of the pump intake curves (the staight line of step 5or the
quadratic curves of step 6) with IPR curve. Read the maximum allowable rate at the
intersection of the minimum allowable intake pressure with the IPR curve.

10.

Plot the rate vs S and N. Impose the maximum allowable rate on the same plot.

11.

Select a suitable rate.

Installation
The installation of sucker rod pumping is scheduled at t = 1500 days. When the total
liquid production already below the separator capacity and while the gas produced from the
reservoir is not really high tp prevent the occurance of gas lock (See Table 1).
To determine further production, when the value of length of the stroke (S) at t= 1500
days is already known, calculate the value of P3 (Intake Pressure) and speed of the stroke (N)
by using pressure intake equation that had been mentioned before. The value of this S is the
same for the future production time, until the length of the stroke is no longer capable to lift
the production liquid. When the strokes length is not changing, P 3 and speed of the stroke are
changing as the watercut is changing by time. To face this situation, the initial value of N can
also be used as constraint, but due to it is easier to change the speed of the pump than change
the strokes length everytime.
When the initial strokes length is no longer capable, it need to be changed with the
smaller one depends on the pressure intake calculation that willbe done for that time. Here, the
speed of the pump will be very fast.
32

The next explaination will described how to determine the optimum value of S and N for
each well, the future performance of each well under the value of the initial S, and the
capability of the initial S in order to make the well always on production.

that there is also choke constraint, so there is limit of qL, it can be produce above the limit of
choke contraint.
When the value of S at t=1500 days is known, calculate the value for future N and P 3 by
using pressure intake equation. In Table 18, shown the result of production by using SRP in Well#

In Figure 33, by using 55 inch of strokes length is no longer capable at t= 3000 days. In
order to put the well on production at t= 3000 days, a workover job need to done to replace the
stroke with the smaller one. To determine the new value of S is the same as before. See Figure

Electric Submersible Pump Application


Pump Performance Curve
The performance curves of a submersible electrical pum represent the variation of head,
horsepower, and efficiency with capacuty. Capacity refers to the volume of the produced
fluid rate, which may include free and/or dissolved gas. The head (in feet per stage)
developed by centrifugal pump is the sane regardless of the type os specific gravity of the fluid
pumped. But when converting this head pressure, it must be multiplied by the gradient of the
fluid in question. Therefore, the following can be stated:
(pressure developed by pump) =

(head per stage) x (gradient of fluid) x (number of


stages)

46

When pumping gas with the fluid, the capacity and consequently, the head per stage as
well as the pressure of the fluid is elevated from the intake value P 3 to discharge value P2.
Thus, the above equation can ve written as follows:
Where:
dP

= the differential pressure developed by the pump, psi

= the head per stage, ft/stage

Gf

= the gradient of the pumped fluid, psi/ft

d(St) = the differential number of stage


h and Gf are the functions of the capacity V. The gradient of the fluid at any pressure and
temperature is given by:

but:

where W is the weight of the capacity V at any pressure and temperature, which is equal to the
weight at standard condition. Hence:

Subtituting equation 3 to 2, gives:


(

sc is the weight of 1 bbl of liquid plus pumped gas (per 1 bbl of liquid) at standard condition,
or:
where gsc is the density of gas (in lb/scf) at standard conditions.
Subtituting equation 4 to 1, gives:
(

The number of stages is obtained by integrating the above equation between the intake
and the discharge pressures:

47

Horsepower. The pump performance curves give the horsepower per stage based on a
fluid specific gravity equal to 1.0. This horsepower must be multiplied by the specific gravity of
the fluid under consideration. Thus, the following can be stated:
(

The total horsepower requirement is obtained by integrating the above equation


between the intake and the discharge pressure:

(
(

For each pump, there is a capacity range within which the pump performs at near its
peak efficiency. The volume ranges of the selected rate between the intake and the discharge
pressures should, therefore, remain within the efficiency range of the pump. This range, can be
changed by using a variable frequency controller.
Pump Intake Curves
Predicting intake curves for submersible pump is considered for two cases:
1. Pumping only liquid
2. Pumping liquid and gas
Assumed that the pump is set at the bottom of the well and that wellhead pressure and the
tubing size are fixed. For case 2, assumed that all associated gas is pumped with the liquid.
The sensitivity variable seleced is the number of stages.
In this field, case 1 will be used. So that, the nodal analysis will be based on case 1.
Case 2 will not be described in this report.
Since liquid is only slightly compressible, the volume of the production rate can be
considered constant and equal to the surface rate q sc. Hence, the head per stage will also be
constant, and equation 7 can be integrated to give:
(

Solving equation 10 for P3, gives:


(

Equation 9 alsocan be integrated to give:


48

Subtituting equation 10 into 12, yields:

Procedures for the preparation of tubing intake curve:


Select a suitable pump as dictated by the casing size and the flow capacity of the
well.
Calculate fsc fom equation 33 (GLR=0) and fsc fom equation 31 (V=qsc).
Assumes various production rates and, for each rate of these rates, do the followings:
a. Read the head per stage from the pump performance curves and calculate the
quantity (fsch/808.3141).
b. Determine the required discharge pressure from a pressure gradient correlation.
c. Assume various numbers of stages and, for each of these numbers, calculate the
intake pressure from equation 39.
Plot the intake pressure vs rate for each assumed number of stages on the same
graph as the IPR curve and to the same scale.
Read the rates at the intersection of the pump intake curves with the IPR curve.
For each rate, read the horsepower per stage from the pump performance curves;
then calculate the total horsepower requirement from equation 41.
Plot the rates vs the number of stages and horsepower requirements. Impose the
efficiency range of the pump on the same graph.
Select a suitable rate
Rate Selection
Whether pumping only liquid or pumping liquid with gas, the selected rate must satisfy the
following criteria:
1. Its volume range between the intake and the discharge pressures must remain within
the efficiency range of the pump.
2. It must be economically feasible.
As the number os stages and the production rate increase, the effect of frictio in the
tubing string becomes significant, causing the discharge pressure to increase. As a result, the
gain in the production rate per one stage continues to diminish until it becomes insignificant.

49

Installation
The installation of ESP is scheduled at t = 2000 days. When the total liquid production
already below the separator capacity and while the gas produced from the reservoir is not
really high(See Table 1).

Kesimpulan
1.

Gas lift adalah tidak benar-benar metode canggih artificial lift, seperti gas lift adalah hampir sama
seperti aliran alami. Dan fasilitas permukaan untuk sistem angkat gas juga tidak terlalu sulit, yang paling
penting adalah ada persediaan gas dan kompresor.

2.

Gas lift tidak akan bekerja secara efisien ketika sudah ada banyak gas di sumur, referring baik akan
didominasi oleh gas dan cairan akan tertinggal.

3.

SRP cukup mudah untuk beroperasi sebagai begitu banyak bidang operator akrab dengannya..

4.

Panjang stroke SRP lebih kecil, lebih cepat kecepatan stroke akan menghasilkan.

5.

ESP dapat membawa banyak keuntungan karena itu dapat mengangkat banyak cairan dari sumur, tetapi
itu akan tidak benar ketika ada banyak gas dan pasir.

6.

Dalam bidang ini, ESP merupakan artificial lift terbaik untuk diinstal sebagai akan menghasilkan tingkat
produksi cairan tambahan tertinggi dan pasti produksi kumulatif bidang ini.
