We can design a pump lifting method for this well. We assume that the downhole separation is perfect and water has a specific gravity of 1.05; viscosities of oil and water are assumed to be 2cp and 1 cp, respectively. But, the pump can be lowered to a maximum depth of 6000 ft. Calculate the pump head needed to keep the well flowing at the tubing head pressure of 250 psig. Assuming the tubing ID= 2.259 inch and relative roughness of the tubing is 0.001.
