Presentacion HRPCP

The document describes PCM MoineauTM HR, a hydraulically regulated PCP technology for downhole multiphase pumping. It can handle higher gas volumes than conventional PCPs with longer run life. Case studies show it provides up to 40% power savings versus PCP with separator, and runs over 18 months in high GOR wells where conventional PCPs only last 5 months. The embedded hydraulic regulation allows similar operation to conventional PCPs with improved performance in multiphase applications.

PCM MoineauTM HR

Hydraulically Regulated PCP for downhole multiphase pumping

- HRPCP, patented technology -


2

Multiphase flow patterns

In Multiphase Conditions, flow pattern depends on:


- Viscosity
- Fluid Velocity
- Temperature
- Well and Piping Architecture

Multiphase Flow:
gas/oil/water mixture with changing proportions

Multiphase conditions downhole:


- low Bottom Hole Flowing Pressure
- High GOR
- depleted reservoir
3

Downhole Multiphase pumping challenges

1. Increase oil and gas production by decreasing the submergence

2. Accelerate and increase the recovery of the reserves thanks to a


lower ultimate abandon pressure

3. Put back on stream gassy wells / abandoned wells where


conventional Artificial Lift System was not adapted
4

PCP State of the art

Conventional PCPs
- Accept moderate gas : 30-40% GVF
- Above 20% life span is questionable
- Typical failure mode is hysteresis (heating)

Market need : Alternate technology to overcome larger GVF


with longer life span
5

Conventional PCP with gas


PCP Pressure

High Pressure increase located at


pump outlet

Elastomer deformation & gas


compression cause high
Temperature increase

Run Life is shortened


FLOW

HRPCP benefits
HRPCP PCP Pressure

Better pressure distribution

Less elastomer deformation

Reduced hysteresis &


temperature increase

Stator run life is increased


FLOW : Hydraulic Regulators

PCM MoineauTM HR Technology

HRPCP = PCP with Hydraulic Regulators


- Ability to handle high GVF
- Self-regulated system embedded in the rotor
- Regulation not affected by elastomer swelling

Works and lasts


- Patented and proven technology by PCM

The only Self-Regulated Multiphase PCP on the market

16 models available, 5 elastomers for the most suitable


system
8

PCM MoineauTM HR : Areas of interests

Mature fields / Depleted reservoirs

Oil wells producing gas (low to high GOR wells)

Conversion of low-volume production systems


- SRP (gas lock)
- Low-volume ESP (gas lock)
- conventional PCP (facing problems due to gas)
- Conventional PCP + gas separator (energy)
- Ageing gas lift
- Declining natural flowing wells

Gas well dewatering

PCM MoineauTM HR: Operation

As simple to operate and to maintain as a conventional PCP

Multiphase pumping package provided by PCM


- downhole and surface -

Keep the benefits of the conventional PCP system


- Hydraulic Regulators embedded in the rotor
- Pump OD is equal to conventional PCP
- Will work better and longer than a conventional PCP
- Same Bottom hole assembly as a conventional PCP
- Simplify your Logistics
10

PCM MoineauTM HR
Energy Savings Vs use of a gas separator

Handle gas instead of separating it

Multiphase flow in the tubing

Up to 40% net power savings

Downsize your motor, VSD and


Power facilities on surface.

PCP + HRPCP
Gas Separator

Conclusion

HRPCP brings the PCP in multiphase applications

HRPCP provides better run life

Embedded technology as simple to use as a conventional PCP

Lower OPEX (Less Work Over / Less production losses / Less spare parts)

Higher and Longer production

PCM MoineauTM HR as a strategy to fight gas Case Story


Context

- Field in Argentina, 18API, pressure declining res ervoir


- High GOR up to 600 m3 / m3, asphaltene and paraffins
- Artificial Lift strategy based on Beam Pumps and conventional PCP
- Gas Lock occurring on SRP
- Gas Separators plugging (asphaltenes) on PCP systems
- High submergence maintained to mitigate downhole gas proportion => not optimized
- Artificial Lift strategy not dedicated to high gas content

=> PCM MoineauTM HR has been installed on this field as an alternative Artificial Lift System

PCM MoineauTM HR as a strategy to fight gas Case Story

Results

Well A
- Declining Naturally flowing well that required Artificial Lift System
- Average ALS field Run Life with SRP and conventional PCP is less than 1 year
- Installation of 13E2600 HRPCP: September 2009
- GOR = 295 m3 / m3
- Estimated average GVF @ pump intake = 75%
- 20 months days achieved, POOH for dry running.

Well B
- Previous ALS: SRP
- Erratic production was observed because of SRP Gas Lock
- SRP was not considered as a sustainable ALS for this well
- Installation of 13E2600 HRPCP: September 2010
- 16 months achieved, production is steady and does not need close control any more
14

PCM MoineauTM HR as a strategy to fight gas Case Story

Results

Well C
- Previous ALS: Conventional PCP with gas separator
- gas separator used to decrease GVF at pump causing premature failures
- Intervention required every 5 months because of gas separator plugging (asphaltene)
- Installation of 13E2600 HRPCP: July 2010
- 18 months run life achieved, pump is still running
- lower torque Vs previous ALS as gas is handled by the pump (gas lift effect)

Conclusions

- 20 x HRPCP are running on this field


- PCM MoineauTM HR pumps offer a new Artificial Lift alternative when its about gas
- Project is going further as the technology is considered successful by the user:
additional installation are planned.
- Team work between PCM and company
