Abstract
Basic constituents of oil production costs include production specific volumes, electric power consumption, equipment costs and costs for production operations and well survey. Methods to increase oil production profitability currently used are usually aimed at improving only one of the above mentioned factors and often to the detriment of another factor. Short-time periodical operation of oil production wells using an ESP unit allows improving all the basic constituents of oil production profitability.
In the work presented we chose to analyze the fields of LLC LUKOIL-West Siberia.
The scope of the work is to examine the implementation experience of this technology, reveal its advantages and disadvantages and perform a technical and economic assessment of the advisability of the technology further implementation in LLC LUKOIL-West Siberia fields including a wide-scale implementation.
The performed assessment and work results will be further used to reduce costs for downhole pumping equipment operation and maintenance.
