Modern Problems of Oil Production

Abstract

The current stage of human development is associated with a rapid increase in energy consumption. The basis of energy production is the extraction and processing of minerals - the so-called non-renewable sources. The process of reproduction and use, disposal of waste energy sources largely depends on the cost of production. The costs of oil production, in addition to capital investments and operating costs of the field, to a large extent depend on the costs of operating an oil well with electric submersible pumps (ESP).

The centrifugal method of lifting the gasliquid mixture from an oil well, due to the pressure-flow characteristic, is a flexible method that allows you to install various technologies.

However, the lack of a scientifically developed theory of control of electric centrifugal installations became a brake on the development of the method. This led to the fact that with the complication of the structure of the reserves of the developed fields, the technology and technical updates in the ESP continued to develop along the path of "trial and error methods", which are not very effective.
