TOTAL WELL MANAGEMENT
A Methodology for Maximizing Oil Production and Minimizing Operating Costs.
Paper presented at the SPE Third Annual Symposium - "The Challenge of Optimizing Operating Costs" Calgary, Alberta, Canada May 23, 1995
A procedure is described that allows an operator to identify those beam pumped wells which are capable of producing more oil and are operating at reduced efficiency. The logical sequence of steps to be followed in acquiring performance data such as fluid level, pressure, dynamometer, power, etc. and the criteria to be used in determining the causes of inefficiency are presented with the objective of maximizing oil production and minimizing operating expense.
*The examples shown are acquired and analyzed using DOS software. Any Well Analyzer using DOS software can be update to Windows if desired.
