Evaluation of Electrical Submersible Pump on Field Production Network Optimization in Niger Delta Oilfield

Complexity arises when trying to maximize oil productions from fields using Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP). The complexity increases with the increase in number of reservoirs and wells a particular field. Individual well’s ESP frequencies have be constantly updated ensure optimum choice frequency used must come sound engineering decisions which do not mere intuition but backed up by mathematical models computer simulations. This study proposes evaluate field production network optimization on lifted quadratic sequential programming techniques. approach seeks determine for each well that will lead maximum while honouring operational constraints. Two five were considered. non-linear problem was formulated their boundary conditions. simulations performed Prosper GAP software. software building individual model exported run system. two cases: case 1 comprises simulation without 2 optimization. For 1, fixed values selected calculates rates accruing inputted. 2, there no input as allowed calculate based algorithms, best suitable total constraint imposed systems From results, it realized at basis well, higher frequency, rates. Sensitivities effects separator pressure show pressures affect A reduction 200 psig 80 led 1.69% rate. Comparison results showed yields had rate than There an 1.16% 2.66% constraints done rather Also, comes pump efficiency
