Current production: 500 BFPD at 500 psi drawdown.
Desired production: 4X (negligible free gas, annulus friction).
Pressures (psi) at 2M BFPD: Pump-intake/wellhead = 1M/200.
Depth (ft) of pump at perfs = 6M; Friction loss = 41.7 ft/1M ft tbg.
WC: 80%, 1.0625 SG; OC: 20%, 0.91 SG & 24 API.
(A) 4,460 (B) 4,660 (C) 4,860 (D) 5,060
See Guidebook 7 PRD 3-4, or the ESP Sizing Guide reference listed there.
Note: this problem was updated on Kindle after 10/12/2018 as the original given well data was nonsensical (even though it led to the same answer selection). Please use the well info shown above:
1. PI = dq/dp = 500/500 = 1 bfpd/psi.
2. SGw = 0.8(1.0625) = 0.850; SGo = 0.2(.91) = 0.182; so SGf = 0.85 + 0.182 = 1.032.
4. NDL = Pdepth - PIP(2.31)/SGliq = (6,000 – (1,000*2.31)/1.032 = 3,762
5. Hf = 6,000 ft and 41.7 ft/1,000 ft = 250 ft.
6. Hwh = 200 * 2.31 / 1.032 = 448 ft.
7. TDH = 3762 + 250 + 448 = 4460 ft (A).
Because the answer is the lowest TDH option given, any lower value one calculates will give the correct answer.
What chart is friction head found on. The guidebook says (found from chart)
ReplyDeleteFriction would be given as a number or on a graph. I'm just preparing you for either option.
Delete3762 should be ft not psi?
