BACKGROUND
 79% of pump population in SLN is SPS Type.
 About $20 million of OPEX in 2003.
 Current OPEX running is about $1 million per
month.
 January 2003 findings:
 From all wells tested (37 wells) with MPFM, 21%
running with Improper design.
√ 80% due to under range capacity.
√ 20% due to insufficient stages
 Potential OPEX saving due to SPS about $1
million/year.

OBJECTIVES

 Give a preview of SPS Size design process.

 Build awareness regarding SPS design with
VSD Application.
 Build awareness regarding current situation
and the impact of inappropriate design.

Objectives in Designing:
 Maximize the incremental oil gain (not
necessarily the rate) or the NPV.
Influencing Factors:
 Pump availability.

 Reservoir capability.

 Surface capability (power, backpressure).

Consideration in designing:
 How much fluid?  Pump Size
 Where is the intake?  Pump set, Stages
 How much power required?  Motor size

 Gassy or not?  Accessories

- PUMP SIZE

How much fluid that we want to produce?

 Reservoir consideration:
 Reservoir capability.
 Water Coning sensitivity.

 Producing gas condition.

- STAGES REQUIRED

Where do we want to install the pump/intake?

 Rule of thumb:
 100 ft above perforation  the motor is above the
perforation for cooling down.
 FOP ≥ 500 ft  anticipating fluid influx.
 Pump Stages
 How many stages required for the pump able to
“throw” the fluid up to GS?

- MOTOR SIZE

How much power (Brake Horse Power) required

for the pump configuration?
 Power for Pump Stages:
BHP = No. Stages x HP/Stage (see Pump Table)
 Accessories:
 Gas Separator ~ 5 HP
 Protector ~ each 3 HP
Total BHP = BHP for Stages + BHP for Acc.

- ON VSD APPLICATION WELL

 VSD or Variable Speed Drive is a tool to

change the frequency of the pump rotation.
 Current standard setting is 60 Hz or 2500
rotation per minute on pump rotation.
 VSD tool is installed at the surface and able to
control the rotation of the pump below.
 The benefits of this tool:
 Optimizing production (ex. Upsizing pilot).
 Drawdown test well (multi rate test).
