Автоматизация и оптимизация нефтедобычи в Западном Эквадоре

Рассмотрено использование насосов для производства 100 000 баррелей нефти от двух блоке в Эквадоре. Кроме этого для интенсификации добычи нефти были использованные современные аппаратные средства и программное обеспечение.

Beyond automation - esp optimization and runlife improvement process in occidental Ecuador

Occidental Exploration and Production Company (OEPC) uses one hundred Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPs) to produce approximately 410,000 barrels of fluid (approximately 100,000 barrels of oil) from two producing areas in Ecuador's Block 15. In 2004, as part of a global automation process, hardware and software were installed to allow remote data acquisition and control, automated protection of the ESPs and semi automated diagnosis of well performance. After installation of the automation system, it became apparent that automated data collection and analysis would not in itself result in ESP optimization and runlife improvement. In order to achieve maximum improvement in monitoring, diagnosis, and analysis of well and ESP performance, it was necessary to train and coach OEPC and alliance partner staff in analytical techniques and use of the software.
