Análisis del desempeño del sistema de levantamiento artificial del Campo Tiputini, para la optimización de la producción y consumo de energía.

Abstract

Analyzing the performance of the Artificial Lift System allows to know the operating conditions of the electrosubmersible pumping equipment; and thereby evaluate, plan, and implement actions that help optimize its functioning. Therefore, this paper evaluates the productive performance as well as the qualitative energy consumption in wells of Block 43 Tiputini. Field. With the data corresponding to the production and completion of each of the wells, the nodal analysis technique was applied using PIPESIM software in order to evaluate the productivity of the wells, whereas for energy consumption the measurements of the main electrical parameters were taken as a reference. It was determined through the use of the software the current state of operation of the equipment and with the application of sensitivity to the value of the frequency as well as to the value of the water cut is possible to make an increase of the frequency in wells TPT 1, TPT 2, TPT 3, and TPT 4, while in well TPT 5 a decrease of it must be made; This makes it possible to optimize production by increasing it by 303 barrels. The feasibility of optimization was analyzed using three financial indicators (TIR, VAN, PRI) in three hypothetical scenarios (pessimistic, realistic, and optimistic) taking as a reference the sales price of the barrel of oil type WTI (West Texas Intermediate) corrected for Campo ITT oil.
