Análisis nodal del sistema de bombeo electrosumergible en los campos Jivino y Limoncocha del bloque 15

Abstract

The production of the Limoncocha and Jivino fields belonging to Block 15 has declined, for this reason an optimization is carried out by nodal analysis, the chosen node was at the bottom, in order to obtain an increase of hydrocarbon in the four wells chosen either through an increase in frequency or a resizing of the pump, because the wells are within the optimum range, an increase in frequency is made in the BES pump, with the number of suitable stages, as well as for the current production and a proposal. Based on the information collected by the Hydrocarbons Control and Regulation Agency, a program is made in Microsoft Excel software which will result in graphs that indicate the intersection of the Inflow and Outflow curves. The Inflow curve is made with the Composite IPR method because the wells produce water and oil, however, for the Outflow curve it is based on the Kermit Brown correlation with Liquid and Gas pumping. Once the nodal analysis is completed, a Technical-Economic Study will be carried out, which will determine the viability of the project, based on the financial indicators, taking into account the price of the cost per extraction of each barrel and the cost established by Ecuador, according to the prices set by the WTI. It is important to know that for the economic analysis of the four selected wells, three scenarios are shown: current, optimistic and pessimistic that will help to know their profitability
