Rod Pump System Design
Integrated rod pump system design. Combines pump sizing, rod string analysis, load calculations, and power requirements for complete system evaluation.
ESP Gas Handling Analysis
Analyze gas handling requirements for ESP systems. Calculate void fraction and evaluate need for gas separators.
ESP Pump Sizing and Selection
Calculate ESP pump sizing requirements including hydraulic horsepower, brake horsepower, number of stages, and discharge pressure.
ESP Cable Voltage Drop Analysis
Analyze ESP cable voltage drop, power loss, and sizing requirements. Critical for ensuring adequate voltage at the downhole motor.
ESP Motor Selection and Sizing
Select and size ESP motors based on pump requirements. Includes load factor analysis and temperature rise calculations.
ESP Operating Point Analysis
Determine the ESP operating point by intersecting the pump performance curve (head vs rate) with the system curve (TDH vs rate). Size the pump (number of stages), check BEP proximity, and calculate motor requirements. The operating point must fall within the pump's recommended range for reliable operation.
ESP System Design - TDH Calculation
Complete ESP system design calculating Total Dynamic Head (TDH) and all head components.
Inverted ESP Sizing for a Downhole Water Sink
Sizes an ESP that runs inverted in a downhole water sink or downhole water loop: water drained below the oil–water contact is pumped down through a packer and re-injected into the base of the same aquifer. Nothing is lifted to surface, so the system curve is drainage drawdown plus injection build-up plus friction. Design by rate, or by the sink wanted at the drainage perforations (rate = PI × sink). Returns the TDH split into sink head, injection head, static head and friction, the stage count, the drive frequency that delivers the design rate, the operating point, efficiency, brake horsepower, the sink it makes, motor loading and cooling, and the packer and shaft-thrust checks, with a performance chart.
Gas Lift Valve Setting
Gas lift valve setting calculations. Determines dome pressure at depth, test rack opening pressure (Ptro), closing pressure, and valve spread for IPO (injection pressure operated) valves.
Valve Throughput Analysis
Gas lift valve throughput calculations using the Thornhill-Craver equation. Determines gas flow rate through an orifice valve based on port size and pressure differential.
Gas Lift Injection Design
Gas lift injection design calculations. Determines required gas injection rate to achieve target GLR and calculates total GLR from formation and injected gas contributions.
Injection Pressure Profile
Injection gas pressure profile calculations. Determines gas gradient in the annulus and calculates injection pressure at various depths for gas lift system design.
Rod Pump Sizing
Rod pump sizing calculations. Determines theoretical and effective pump displacement, fillage, and volumetric efficiency for sucker rod pump systems.
Rod String Stress Analysis
Rod string stress analysis for sucker rod pumping systems. Calculates rod weight, stretch, and stress levels for fatigue assessment.
Tapered Rod String Analysis
Tapered sucker rod string analysis for up to four rod sizes. Calculates each taper's weight, the load and stress at its top, and its stretch, plus the string's simple polished rod loads.
Polished Rod Load Analysis
Polished rod load analysis using simplified static method. Calculates fluid load, peak and minimum polished rod loads for rod pump design.
Pumping Unit Torque Analysis
Pumping unit torque analysis. Calculates counterbalance requirements, peak torque, and polished rod horsepower for rod pump systems.
