 ELEMENTS USED IN THE FIELD ANALYSIS SYSTEM
I. INTRODUCTION

In the Production Engineering we have the nodal analysis that is one of the
most important parts since this will help us to establish the different pressure
drops, so for this we have different elements where these pressure drops are
generated, in the present work will see each of these elements.

There are two types of nodes that are found in a complete production system:
a) Common Node
This is the name given to a certain section of a system where a pressure drop occurs
as a result of the interrelation between components or nodes.
b) Functional Node
In a previous analysis, it has been assumed that there is no pressure variation
across the node. However, in a total production system there is at least one point
where this assumption is not true. When a differential pressure exists through a
node, said node is called functional
since the response of pressure drop or flow can be represented by some physical or
mathematical function.

II. OBJECTIVE

 Learn about the different types of Elements used in the field analysis
system.
- Describe Characteristics of these Elements

III. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

These elements are teams which perform important functions in the nodal
analysis of oil production.
Considering the varied configurations of wells of a production system, these
elements also called components can be many because there are very
complex termination systems. The most common are represented in figure
1.1.
These components are used when performing the production stage of a well.
COMPONENTS THAT INTERVENE IN THE NODAL ANALYSIS

The most important are:

SEPARATOR:

With the separator we can obtain:

 High efficiency in the gas-oil separation process.

 Greater increase in production volumes.
 Increase in oil recovery.
 Decrease in costs due to compression.
 Stabilization of the RGP gas-oil relationship

Figure 1. in the orange circle the separator Is shown

HORIZONTAL LINE FLOW

This component is the one that communicates the wellhead with the separator and
where the fluid has the right conditions for a well production system.
Figure 2. in the orange circle the horizontal line flow Is shown

SURFACE SHOCK

It is the one that controls the production of the well with which the flow of production can
be increased or decreased
In this component occur a differential pressure that can be calculate for many equations
of shocks and stranglers.

Figure 3. in the orange circle the surface shock Is shown

SUB SUPERFICIAL CHOKE

It proceeds to the descent of this type of restriction according to the need that exists to
raise the pressure and to control the energy in the flow of the vertical line, as well as
having a pressure of contribution and elevation controlled, so that it is going to produce
a pressure different In which there will also be a pressure drop which in turn can be
calculated.

WELL HEAD

It is a point of the system in which the change of direction occurs, of vertical flow to
horizontal flow and of where the data of the upwelling pressure is taken to know the
energy of production of the Pozo, being also a critical point that is taken into account for
its analysis Within the system.

SEGURITY VALVE

This component is an element that is installed in the vertical pipe and that operates
before any abnormality of the flow that can occur in the course of the production, being
vital for the operational safety and production of the well.
FLOWING PRESSURE

This is very important for the system because it depends all the capacity of the
installation that you want to connect to the reservoir through the well and produce the
whole field.
This pressure is measured at the bottom of the well, taken at its midpoint of the
producer level, its determination is made in the direct form using pressure-making tools,
it can also be calculated using equations or correlations.

AVERAGE RESERVOIR PRESSURE

This pressure is evaluated with respect to a reference level, and it is the pressure to
which the calculations of the fluids of the reservoir are subjected, being ETA pressure of
great interest to know the index of productivity of the well and likewise it will allow us to
know the Capacity of the reservoir to the well.

IV. PRACTICAL FRAMEWORK

These elements will help us perform a nodal analysis of the different pressure
drops:
For example.
Observing figure 1.1, we can determine the position of the most common
component nodes, these being modified according to the needs and
requirements of the production system.

NODE POSITION TYPE

1 Separator Common
2 Superficial Choke Functional
3 Well head Common
4 Security valve Functional
5 Subsuperficial Choke Functional
6 Perforations Functional
7 Reservoir Functional
 8 Gas outlet Common
9 Storage tank Common

V. CONCLUSIONS

Oil production is very important, to perform a good production process you

must know the elements and / or components that are involved in this process
as they will help us to carry out the nodal analysis.
It was possible to learn about the elements used in the field analysis system,
which is very important to know, because each one has different functions
and characteristics.
It was also possible to learn a practical example of how these elements help
us to establish nodes for a better analysis.
