Remote ESP Optimization Reduces Power Consumption by 28% and 34% in Two Iraq Wells
2 PagesCHALLENGE Optimize ESP performance and reduce power consumption in remote Iraqi wells with no well test data. SOLUTION Use PCL* production composite log service and Lift IQ* production life cycle management service to select, monitor, and control ESP operating parameters. RESULTS On two wells analyzed, ¦ reduced power (kVA) consumption by 28% and 34% ¦ lowered motor temperature by 11 degF and 6 degF [7 degC and 3 degC]. Remote wellsites made regular well tests challenging Zubair Field in Iraq has numerous wells fitted with ESPs powered by diesel generators. The production facility for the field does not have test separators, multiphase meters, and other equipment required for frequent, periodic well tests (e.g., once per month). Instead, equipment and personnel must be mobiliz
