ESP Optimization for New Well at El-Sharara Field by Using MPFM.
The AlfanOil MPFM has proven to be a powerful tool for optimizing Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) performance. In field applications, ESP wells were tested across a range of frequencies (50–57 Hz) to identify the ideal operating conditions. By leveraging real-time, high-precision multiphase flow data, operators were able to determine the optimal frequency and wellhead pressure (WHP) settings to maximize oil production while minimizing energy consumption.
This approach also helped prevent overdraw scenarios that could lead to formation damage and sand production—common challenges in ESP-managed wells.
Case Study – El-Sharara Field:
Through precise frequency tuning enabled by MPFM insights, one well achieved a production increase of 500 barrels per day (BPD), clearly demonstrating the value of AlfanOil’s technology in enhancing ESP efficiency and reservoir integrity.
Application Case: ESP Optimization for New well at El-Sharara Field by using MPFM
Field Information
- Region: Murzuq Basin, Libya
- Field type: Onshore oil field
Background:
- New oil well put on production at B-NC115 station, they wanted to test the well by MPFM technology to select the optimum operating condition.
Challenges:
- Optimize ESP performance and select the best frequency and well-head pressure to operate ESP with optimum condition with no well test data.
Solutions:
- Applying Multi-frequency test at (50,53,55,57) Hz ESP frequency . This increased the Total liquid nearly 500 Bpd.
- Test the well with different WHP (240,320) Psi to select the best design for ESP.
- Haimo qualified for ESP oil wells application .
Application Case: High WC Multiphase flow metering
Field Overview
- Region: Murzuq Basin, Libya
- Field type: Onshore oil field
Background:
- At El-sharara field, Oil wells with high WC measurement and fluctuated behavior.
Challenges:
- BS&W: 95% to 99%
- Total liquid: 1550-2100 Bpd
Solutions:
- Haimo MPFM qualified for High WC application
- Relative uncertainty on Total Liquid is within +/- 3.5% compared with Separator and WC measurement within 2%
Application Case: Detecting ESP failures and Wrong rotation of the pump
Field Data
- Region: Murzuq Basin, Libya
- Field type: Onshore oil field
Background:
- At El-sharara field ,Oil wells with ESP failures and wrong ESP rotation
Challenges:
- Detect the problem of ESP
Solutions:
- Testing the well will show the right rotation by showing the optimum rate of the pump.
- Haimo MPFM qualified for rotation check and diagnosis ESP issues
