Underwater production systems typically rely on their own pressure for extraction. For some few underwater production systems, it is necessary to use water/gas injection or underwater booster pumps to maintain system pressure. Developing certain underwater production systems with deep water depth, heavy heavy oil, small reservoir reserves, unknown reserves or low recovery rates, low/extremely high fluid pressure, flow guarantee requirements, long return distance, and mature use of Phase I booster pumps can consider using underwater booster pumps placed on the seabed for development. The use of underwater booster pumps for oil and gas development can effectively increase oil recovery, promote production, and simplify infrastructure such as upper platforms.

The Application of Underwater Booster Pump in Underwater Production System

某油田水下生產(chǎn)系統(tǒng)包括3口水下采油樹，水深約500米，油氣產(chǎn)出物回接至某上部海上平臺。采用水下生產(chǎn)系統(tǒng)開發(fā)方案，采用水下增壓泵舉升的采油方式，可實(shí)現(xiàn)油田的高速高效開發(fā)，提高采收率。某油田地質(zhì)油藏特征表明，砂巖油藏物性好、產(chǎn)能高、地層能量充沛，利用地層能量將流體舉升至海底，再利用增壓泵進(jìn)行開采。

The underwater production system of a certain oilfield includes three underwater Christmas trees, with a water depth of about 500 meters. The oil and gas production is connected back to an upper offshore platform. The use of an underwater production system development plan and the use of an underwater booster pump lifting oil extraction method can achieve high-speed and efficient development of the oil field and improve oil recovery. The geological reservoir characteristics of a certain oilfield indicate that sandstone reservoirs have good physical properties, high production capacity, and abundant formation energy. The formation energy is used to lift the fluid to the seabed, and then a booster pump is used for production.
