Test II Flashcards
A high-volume well just recently fell below its required economic limit rate due to the continued decline in the natural formation GLR. This well is likely a good candidate for:
gas lift
A waterflood is being carried out in a gas-depleted, moderately-deep sandstone reservoir.High WORs are expected. Wells in this field are likely good candidates for
electrical submersible pump
A remotely-located gas well makes 10 BFPD. This well is likely a good candidate for
plunger lift
Artificial lift becomes necessary when the pwf required to deliver a certain inflow is less than the change in ptbg caused by a fluid with a given flowing gradient. Gas lift provides a solution by artificially
artificially lightening the produced fluid column leading to a reduction in the change of ptbg
It is always the best economic decision to produce a well on gas lift at the highest rate possible as determined by optimum gas lift rate calculations
False
The best plunger for use in wells with deviations in the tubing inner diameter is a
pad plunger
the best plunger for use in wells with paraffin problems is a
solid plunger
The part of an electrical submersible pump “pump stage” that adds kinetic energy to the fluid to be produced by accelerating it is called the
impeller
An electrical submersible pump is typically set 300-500 ft below the working fluid to
prevent the pump from sucking gas
