Electric Submersible Pumping (ESP) Optimization Systems
Weatherford’s total optimization solution provides wellsite intelligence, historical references, and remote optimization. Intelligent control at the wellhead, as well as monitoring, analysis, and control at the desktop, results in improved ESP performance and increased profitability.
Wellsite Intelligence with ESP Solution
The intelligent controller provides 24-hour wellsite control and optimization. The controller interacts with downhole sensors and surface instruments to measure conditions and control the well operation. This controller comes programmed with templates to allow control of the startup and speed of the ESP. All information is based on the input received from the downhole sensors, motor controller, and other equipment at the wellsite.
Weatherford’s intelligent remote terminal unit (RTU) has built-in interfaces for Vortex, Keltronics, CTI, and GCS motor controllers available in today’s market.
EPS engineers have worked extensively with pump suppliers to ensure that the calculations performed by WellFlo™–ESP software are rigorously accurate. The program has a complete database of pump performance curves for all the models from leading manufacturers. These performance curves are used as the basis for the head calculations which are then adjusted for fluid density, pump frequency, number of stages and other system variables. This means that a reliable calculation of pump performance is performed at all operating conditions.
