Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Electric submersible pumps (ESPs) are among the most widely used artificial lifting systems, and their operational stability is crucial to the production capacity and lifespan of oil wells. However, during the operation of ESP systems, they often face complex flow issues such as gas lock and insufficient liquid carry. Traditional control strategies relying on liquid level monitoring and electrical parameter alarms exhibit obvious latency, making it difficult to effectively guide the adjustments of key operating parameters such as pump frequency, valve opening, and on/off strategies. To monitor the flow state of ESP systems and optimize it in a timely manner, this paper proposes an innovative profile recognition method based on multiphase flow fitting in the wellbore, aimed at reconstructing the flow state at the pump’s intake. This method identifies flow abnormalities and, in conjunction with flow characteristics, designs targeted operating parameter optimization logic to enhance the stability and efficiency of ESP systems. Research shows that this optimization method can significantly improve the pump’s operational performance, reduce failure rates, and extend equipment lifespan, thus providing an effective solution for optimizing production in electric pump wells. Additionally, this method holds significant importance for enhancing oil well production efficiency and economic benefits, providing a scientific theoretical foundation and practical guidance for future oil and gas exploration and management.
