INFLOW PERFORMANCE

OF OIL WELLS
 Basic task :
Production Engineer must have accurate knowledge about the well, before taking
decisions, the basic task are :

• Selection of the right type of artificial lifting

method
• Detailed design of production equipment
• Estimation of future well performance

This article will give you a summary of all what you need to know about sucker rod
pumping system:
1. Calculate the expected production rate,
2. Understand downhole pump operation,
3. Understand the concept of Fluid Load (Fo) and Pump Intake & Discharge
Pressures (PIP/PDP),
4. How to avoid Gas Interference and how to design a downhole gas separator?
5. The concept of dynamometer cards and how to interpret pump card shapes?
6. Understand the causes of incomplete pump fillage,
7. SRP equipment – design considerations,
8. SRP Optimization (during design phase, while pulling the well and during
operations & monitoring),
9. Fluid level & Dyno surveys,
10. Concepts of Gas interference (or “Gas Pound”) & Fluid Pound,
11. Rod, Tubing and Casing Specifications,
12. API Nomenclature of Pumping Unit and Pump.
