Desarrollo de un procedimiento para la especificación y selección de un sistema de bombeo multifásico en el Oriente Ecuatoriano

Abstract

A procedure was developed for the specification and selection of a multiphase pumping system in the East of Ecuador with the objective of defining the necessary parameters to ensure that the flows sent to the production facilities arrive in optimum conditions, for which a sheet and macros in Excel, using the concepts and principles of multiphase flow, horizontal flow correlations of the authors Duckler and Beggs & Brill. The procedure to be followed to determine the design parameters of a multiphase pumping system consists of: selection and acquisition of field information, selection of candidate wells for the application, qualitative analysis between a double screw and a helico-axial, comparison technical / economic evaluation of pumps and to select the pump that best suits the suggested operational conditions. Finally, an analysis of the results obtained from the system formulation was performed, in which the operational parameters obtained were analyzed. information available from the different manufacturers of multiphase pumps, it should be emphasized that for this evaluation it was not focused on a particular manufacturer, this was done in order to guarantee the success of the project.
