OBJECTIVES

New guidelines and strategies are necessary to enhance overall system reliability and production in the “Jofeyr Oil Field.” Due to our client desire to achieve higher oil flow from well JFR-003, our engineering team has attempted to recommend the best solution to increase production.

Several challenges should have been addressed to achieve successful SRP operation in the Jofeyr Oil Field wells. The JFR-003 well was drilled in the year 1977 with the most recent workover conducted in 2008. Following several years of production, the well flow rate decreased to only 200 barrels of oil per day. The primary objective for our team became to achieve the desired flow rate on a continuous basis from the JFR-003 well over the next 15 years of production and indeed ensure that no harm is done to the reservoir.

SOLUTIONS
PETRO EDMAN engineering team recommended the first Iranian-Designed and Manufactured Ultra-Long Stroke Sucker Rod Pumping (SRP) system to be installed on the JFR-003 well. In order to maximize the life of the equipment while achieving the desired flow rate, it is desirable to pump as slowly as possible, using the minimum number of strokes. Therefore, the first Iranian SRP system with a stroke length of 366 inches and a lifting capacity of 50klb has been installed in this field

RESULTS
After the downhole pump installation (January 2025) and successful testing of the downhole pump, the downhole performance has been approved and after the surface pumping unit installation, the production will raise from 200 barrels of crude oil per day (before pump installation) to a stunning continuous rate of 1000 barrels of oil per day

CHALLENGES

  • The first Iranian Ultra-Long Stroke Sucker Rod Pump and the first SRP installation at the “Jofeyr Oil Field”
  • Up to 1000bbl/day flow rate
  • Deep installation (2020 m TVD)
  • Low reservoir productivity index
  • Tight project schedule (installing within 5 days, only after 2 months from contract signing)
  • Harsh environment

BENEFITS

  • Cost-effective
  • No harm to the reservoir
  • Less maintenance and more lifetime compared to other artificial lift methods
  • Smart monitoring with EDControl and Dynamometer card plot

 

For over 10 years, we’ve been developing new technology to increase oil and gas production.

Our mission is to provide oil-producing companies better, smarter and more cost-effective solution to reach their production policies.
