Desenvolvimento de sistema web para dimensionamento de sistemas para elevação artificial de petróleo

Abstract

This work describes the systema tic development of a web-based tool based on na existing program to perform the sizing of Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) systems for oilwells. Proper equipment sizingis crucial to optimize the cost/production ratio and ensure operational efficiency and safety. The ESP sizing tool utilizes data from the well's mechanical scheme, reservoir data, production data, and fluid properties to determine the types of pumps, motors, seals, cables, and auxiliary equipment that can or should be used. The calculation procedures take into account the physical properties of the multiphase flow and use empirical correlations to determine parameters such as pressure losses, viscosities, solubilityratios, gas-oil-water volume factors, amongothers. The developed tool includes graphs and alarms to assist the user in system sizing, as well as a database with information about various systems used in theindustry. The results obtained with the developed tool were compared with those obtained from a commercial program used in the oilindustry and were considered consistent and satisfactory.
