ESP Analysis and Optimization by Operational Trends

Iqbal Sipra

Consultant Artificial Lift/Prod. Tech. Advisor at PETRO GAS LLP

Session description

Iqbal Sipra, an Oil industry veteran with over 40 years of experience, a certified Professional Engineer, and an ESP Specialist. At the Artificial Lift Summit 2022, he shared actionable insights. In this blog, we’ll explore his strategies for ESP Analysis and Optimization by Operational Trends.

Iqbal Sipra, a knowledgeable expert in the oil and gas industry, had emphasized the importance of improving the use of Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs). He highlighted that experts were closely monitoring how these pumps performed over time, much like watching a graph that showed changes. This real-time monitoring, called ESP Analysis and Optimization using trends, allowed us to make quick decisions to ensure the pumps worked at their best. This approach ensured safety, reduced operating costs, increased oil and gas production, and extended the pumps’ lifespan.

Key Topics
  • Operators are exercising ESP Operating data trend analysis through its networks system. It enables real time monitoring, control, and design of ESP’s thereby optimizing, Safety and environment protection, Operating Cost, Production Rates, Capital Cost, Preventable Failures, Personal Effectiveness and Minimizes Losses.
  • Data trend plots are used to show Well level and System level variable vs. Time.
  • The prime parameters deducted for Well analysis are Gradient Traverse plots thereby monitoring well & inflow performance, which changes with the time
  • The diagnosis based on all such concepts enables right / real time decision to sustain ESP at optimum range, leading to enhancing ESP run life. In a typical application, the continued practice of this concept has resulted in +2000 m3/d gain in production, enhancing ESP Run life by 6% and saving $ 0.5 million, in one year, in one of its concession areas.
