Parameters for defining the oil wells optimal production in artificial lift method application

Abstract

Determining the optimal production oil wells represent the harmonization of production characteristics of a given well with the operational parameters of applied artificial methods of exploitation. This means that the optimal production well achieved when balance the amount of fluid that enters the well (defined by number, diameter, length and spatial orientation perforation) with the amount of fluid applied by artificial method of exploitation belong the well. The paper discusses the key parameters for determining the optimum production well from the application of artificial methods of exploitation such as: characteristics of fluid inflow into the well, forecasting future production well, operational parameters of artificial methods, timing of introduction of artificial methods of exploitation and the price of oil.
