METHOD FOR PERIODIC OPERATION OF OIL WELL WITH SUBMERSIBLE PUMP SET WITH CONTROLLABLE ELECTRIC DRIVE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC E21B43/00 E21B47/00 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: according to the method fluid pumping from the well is alternated with fluid accumulation in the well at switched off pump set and average delivery in time is controlled for the purpose of matching with the well flow rate by changing speed rate of the pump shaft. Pump capacity in pumping process is controlled by a submersible flow rate meter placed at the pump output. Pumping out will be performed till the pump reaches the preset minimum pressure at suction and accumulation will be performed till the pump reaches the preset maximum pressure. Pressure value is controlled by means of a submersible pressure sensor. Frequency of the pump shaft rotation during pumping period is changed on the basis of readings of the submersible flow rate meter so that maximum value of efficiency factor is reached for the pump during pumping period. Time of accumulation is limited by regulations on motionless fluid in surface equipment in winter time by permitted decrease of oil temperature in the submersible electric motor and permitted frequency of stops and starts of the latter. Maximum pressure value for the cemented stratum is selected on condition of maximum oil production and for the stratum destructed intensely in extraction process on conditions of minimum discharge of mechanic impurities.

EFFECT: increased production and maintained reliability for submersible equipment due to its operation in the mode of maximum efficiency factor.
