Question:
- A pump is installed in a vertical well to lift oil from bottomhole to wellhead. Calculate the required pump discharge pressure and output horsepower, given:
Reservoir inflow performance relationship: pwf = 6000 - 4.5 q, where pwf is in psi and q is in STB/day
Wellhead pressure = 300 psi
Desired production rate = 1000 STB/day
Reservoir depth =10000 ft
Pump setting depth = 10000 ft
2 7/8-in. tubing ID = 2.259 in.
Tubing relative roughness = 0.0005
Oil specific gravity = 0.8
Oil viscosity = 1 cp
Assuming pressure drop due to kinetic energy change can be ignored.
