Beta Field history: Submersible pumps in heavy crude
Conference
·
OSTI ID:372356
Beta Field, offshore Long Beach, was developed in 1981 with electric submersible pumps as its primary artificial lift. The produced oil gravity ranges from 10--19 API. The wells had low initial water cuts, which increased as the waterflood matured. The impact of viscous production and increased water cuts on the ESP run times are presented here. Despite these challenges, equipment life is currently at 594 days. Equipment sizing techniques and the failure history are also shared.
