Study Notes
Artificial Lift Overview
- Artificial lift is a method used when reservoir pressure is insufficient to produce fluids naturally.
- Two major categories of artificial lift are gas lift and pump-assisted lift.
- A third hybrid approach, plunger lift, combines elements of both gas lift and pump-assisted lift.
Gas Lift
- Injects high-pressure gas into the well annulus to reduce the hydrostatic pressure in the fluid column.
- Used in high-productivity index wells.
- Two types: continuous and intermittent.
- Continuous gas lift: injects gas constantly, lowering overall density for higher production rates; used in high productivity index wells with high bottomhole pressures.
- Intermittent gas lift: injects slugs of gas; displaces liquid to surface; suitable for lower-productivity wells.
Reciprocating Rod Pump Systems
- A common artificial lift method.
- Uses a pumping unit to reciprocate a plunger inside the tubing, forcing fluids to the surface.
- Subsurface pump is connected via a rod string.
- Includes surface and subsurface equipment; subsurface pump selection and rod string design are key considerations.
Progressive Cavity Pump Systems
- Uses a spiral rotor that turns inside an elastomer-lined stator to move fluid.
- Suitable for waterflood projects, and for producing heavy/high-viscosity fluids.
Hydraulic Pump Systems
- Injects a power fluid (usually oil or water) into the well to push fluids to surface.
- Two types: reciprocating hydraulic pumps and hydraulic jet pumps.
- Reciprocating hydraulic pumps use a downhole fluid engine to drive a piston.
- Hydraulic jet pumps have no moving parts.
- Suitable for lifting heavy viscous fluids.
Electrical Submersible Pump Systems
- Uses an electric motor and a centrifugal pump to lift fluids to the surface.
- Commonly used for high-volume applications or high-water-cut production in deviated wells.
Plunger Lift Systems
- Relies solely on the well's natural energy.
- Plunger is automatically dropped and moves up as the pressure of gas below is greater than the liquid above.
- Cost-effective method for producing gas and high GOR oil wells.
Selecting an Artificial Lift Method
- Reservoir and hole considerations are key for selecting the appropriate artificial lift method.
- Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) defines the well's production potential.
- Liquid production rate, water cut, and gas-liquid ratio impact efficiency of each method.
- Viscosity, formations volume factor, and reservoir drive mechanism should be considered.
Initial Screening Criteria (summarization of important factors)
- Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR)
- Liquid Production Rate
- Water Cut
- Gas-Liquid Ratio
- Viscosity
- Formation Volume Factor (volume of reservoir fluid vs surface volume)
- Reservoir Drive Mechanism (depletion drive, water drive, gas cap drive, combination drive.)
Artificial Lift-Specific Method Details (summarized)
- Gas lift, continuous and intermittent
- Reciprocating rod pumps
- Progressive cavity pumps (PCP)
- Hydraulic pumps
- Electrical submersible pumps (ESP)
- Plunger Lift
