| Summary: | All around the world, oil companies are facing more difficult scenario to produce oil such as brownfield and deepwater development. These scenario provide a good opportunity for the utilization of multiphase pump which provide a cost effective solution to the field development. Multiphase Pump provide incremental oil by reducing the backpressure imposed on the well, allowing it to produce at lower FBHP and thereby enabling higher drawdown to the well. Today there are several types of Multiphase Pump available in the market including Surface Jet Pump, Twin Screw Pump and Roto-Dynamic Pump with its own suitability and limitation. The study consist of literature reviews on actual field application of multiphase pump and provide a guideline based on the usage of multiphase pump. The study also include a Nodal Analysis and Network Modelling study to evaluate the amount of incremental oil from the usage of multiphase pump and provide the most suitable reservoir and facilities condition for the use of multiphase pump. The study concludes that multiphase pump has high potential for production enhancement application. Based on the study, multiphase pump is able to provide 9-50% incremental oil production. |
