Design and Simulation Studies on An ESP System

Artificial lift methods are used for the enhancement of productivity from oil wells. These methods are implemented in oil wells whose energy from the reservoir is insufficient to lift the fluids to the surface. In this study about Electrical submersible pump and its design & simulation in PROSPER software. It is one of the important type of artificial lift methods, which is used to lower the producing bottom hole pressure on the formation to obtain a higher production rate from the well. It is an efficient and reliable method for lifting moderate to high volumes of fluids from wellbores. PROSPER is a well performance, design and optimization computer software for modelling most types of well configurations. This study major focuses on the design and simulation of an ESP system for wells having different productivity index using the PROSPER software.
