Operation problems of booster pumping stations during the development of the Imilorskoye oil field

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems of operating a booster pumping station in the process of developing an oil field. During operation, the water cut of the product increases, and accordingly there is a need for engineering solutions that ensure the preservation of the throughput of the site, a decrease in the proportion of water in the oil produced, and a decrease in the workload of the operating techno­logical equipment. The practical significance of the article is due to the solution of the above-described problem by designing a booster pumping station and installing a preliminary water discharge in two independent stages, which will make it possible to put into operation first a booster pumping station, then, as fluid production increases, a preliminary discharge of produced water. This solution allows you to maintain the throughput of the site, to prepare field oil for reception at the central points of reception and preparation of oil. When designing and implementing the first stage, connection points, land acquisition, power supply are provided, taking into account the promising stage. The commissioning of the preliminary water discharge unit solves the problem of maintaining the throughput of the pipeline section to the receiving point and, at the same time, is a source of water for maintaining reservoir pressure.
