Estimation of Flow Rate and Viscosity in a Well with an Electric Submersible Pump Using Moving Horizon Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Moving Horizon Estimator (MHE) is designed for a petroleum production well with an Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) installed for artificial lift. The focus is on estimating the flow rate from the well, the viscosity of the produced fluid, and the productivity index of the well. The software package ACADO is used to implement a Moving Horizon Estimator using a third-order nonlinear model. Simulation results show that the implemented estimator is able to estimate the desired variable and parameters. The resulting C-code solver is very fast, admitting real-time implementation.

The performance of the electric submersible pump (ESP) significantly affected by Gas Void Fraction (GVF). Thus, using of a Rotary Gas Separator (RGS) is a suitable solution for this issue. The performance of the RGS is function of different parameters such as geometry of impeller, rotating speed, boundary conditions, media viscosity and GVF. In this study, the influences of GVF, viscosity, and ...

This paper presents the effect of high viscosity oil and two-phase foamy-oil flow on the performance of a single stage centrifugal pump. As a part of this, the applicability of a pipe viscometer to determine the foamy oil viscosity is investigated. Unlike previous studies, a sealed fluid tank is used in a closed flow loop to allow conditioning the two-phase mixture to create foamy-oil. Furtherm...
