Procedure for determination of the optimum structure of operating pump units at well pad pump stations
Oil Industry Journal № 12/2013 has published an article by V.V. Sushkov (Tyumen State Oil and Gas University) and M.K. Veliev (Giprotymenneftegaz, HMS Group) on Procedure for determination of the optimum structure of operating pump units at well pad pump stations.Maintenance of reservoir pressure is one of the most power-consuming processes in petroleum engineering, where the main consumers are pump units at well pad pump stations. The article specifies a procedure to determine the optimum structure of WPPS pump units to ensure the optimum structure and the priority for switch pumps on/off at minimum energy consumption to water pumping, if the scheduled assignment volume is updated.
