摘要  电潜泵自20 世纪以来广泛应用于海上和非常规油气田,来提高油井的生产效率,是一种革命性的油田生产方法,主要适用于自然压力和能量不足的井。潜水离心泵最初是用于抽取矿井中积水而开发的。阿迈斯·阿鲁图诺夫开发了第一台用于油井生产的电潜泵。此后电潜泵逐渐在石油行业中广为人知并流行起来。然而,电潜泵对流动条件非常敏感,为了提高其耐受性、效率、可靠性以及适应恶劣和复杂的井下流动条件,电潜泵经历了许多重大的技术改进。目前电潜泵通常由电动机、密封和一系列离心泵级组成,非常适合于高产的深井和偏斜井中,也常用于非常规井,如页岩油井。因此,电潜泵的耐气性、粘度影响以及长期开采能力已经引起了重大关注。由于其内部流动规律复杂,两相混输风险高,高粘/气液两相流工况下耐受极限和长效开采能力受限,严重制约了电潜泵在深水和非常规油气田安全高效开采中的运用。本文基于欧拉方程,利用最佳流速概念推导回流、摩擦和泄漏等损失,提出了适用于井下旋转电潜泵复杂工况下增压性能预测的理论模型。针对气液两相流动,该模型基于离心场中两相的力学分析,建立旋转叶轮内部体含气率模型,并根据流型选择曳力系数,计算两相滑移效应,修正混合相密度,进而提升扬程预测的准确性。模型预测和实验数据的对比验证了该模型预测的精度和可靠性均高于文献中常见的计算方法。本文所提出的方法可准确预测油的粘度、含水乳化液和气液流对泵性能的影响。该模型可帮助泵工程师开发新的电潜泵几何形状,同时帮助人工举升工程师改进油井完井举升工艺设计。

Abstract

Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs) are widely used in offshore and unconventional oil/gas fields to increase production and efficiency since 20th century. It is a revaluation oil production method, which is particularly used in wells with less sufficient natural pressure and energy. The submerged centrifugal pump was firstly developed to pump water in mines, and Armais Arutunoff developed the first ESP that used in oil wells, which later became popular and well-known in the industry. However, the ESP is very sensitive to flow conditions, and it has undergone significant technological advancements to improve their tolerance, efficiency, reliability, and adaptability to hash and complex downhole flow conditions. ESPs are usually comprised with an electric motor, seal, and a series of centrifugal pump stages, and are widely adept at handling high-volume fluid lifting in deep and deviated wells. Nowadays. ESPs are also commonly used in unconventional wells, like shale-oil wells. Therefore, the gas tolerance ability, viscosity effect, and long-term exploitation capability of ESPs have drawn significant attention. Due to the compact assembly and high-shear flow field in a rotating impeller, the gas-liquid two-phase flow inside ESPs is complicated, bringing in high risks for two-phase transportation and difficulties for safety control. Thus, the applications of ESP-based artificial lift technology in offshore and unconventional oil/gas fields for safe and efficient production is restricted considerably. In this work, aiming at the difficulties of performance prediction for ESPs under multiphase flow, a novel mechanistic model to predict the boosting pressure in ESPs is proposed. The new model starts form from Euler equations and introduces a best-match flowrate at which the flow direction at ESP impeller outlet matches the designed flow direction. The mismatch of velocity triangle in a rotating impeller is result from the varying liquid flow rates. Losses due to flow direction change, friction, and leakage etc., were incorporated in the model. Based on the force balance on a stable gas bubble in a centrifugal flow field, the in-situ gas void fraction inside a rotating ESP impeller can be estimated, from which the gas-liquid mixture density is calculated. The predicted ESP boosting pressures match the corresponding experimental measurements with acceptable accuracy. The proposed method can be used to accurately predict the the oil viscosity, water-cut emulsion, and gas-liquid flow effect on pump performance. The model can be used to help pump engineer to develop new pump geometries, as well as help artificial lift engineer to improve well completion design.
