Assessment of energy efficiency in use of downhole reactive power compensators

Abstract

The article provides an assessment of the energy efficiency of the use of downhole compensators in the reactors as part of the installation of electric centrifugal pumps. A scheme for replacing the electrotechnical complex of an oil production facility has been developed. The energy efficiency curves have been constructed characterizing the positive effect of the introduction of downhole compensators for different cross sections and lengths of supply cables.
