Abstract

At present, submersible electric pump is the main oil production equipment in the world’s oil fields. Because the pump is tested with clean water as the medium when it leaves the factory, it can not be widely used in all oil fields. In this paper, a prototype submersible electric pump is improved and designed according to the actual working conditions, and a new heavy oil pump is obtained, which can be widely used in heavy oil Wells. The static pressure distribution and velocity vector distribution under the actual working conditions were simulated by CFD, and the feasibility was verified. It provides theoretical basis and technical guidance for solving the adverse effect of high viscosity produced liquid on pump, and has certain guiding significance for oilfield pump selection. So as to effectively save electricity and rationally exploit energy.
