Calculation Method for Inflow Performance Relationship in Sucker Rod Pump Wells Based on Real-Time Monitoring Dynamometer Card

Abstract EN

Based on the informatization and intelligent construction of an oilfield, this paper proposes a new method for calculating inflow performance relationship in sucker rod pump wells, which solves the limitations of current IPR curve calculation method in practical application.

By analyzing the forming principle of the dynamometer card, the plate of abnormal dynamometer card is created innovatively, and the recognition model of abnormal dynamometer card based on “feature recognition” is established to ensure the accuracy of the dynamometer card.

By analyzing the curvature of each point on the curve of downhole pump dynamometer card, the opening and closing points of standing valve and traveling valve are determined, and the models for calculating fluid production and bottom hole flowing pressure are established to obtain the data of fluid production and bottom hole flowing pressure of sucker rod pump wells.

Finally, a calculation model of inflow performance relationship fitted with the calculated fluid production and bottom hole flowing pressure data based on genetic algorithm is established to realize calculation of oil well inflow performance relationship curve.

The field application and analysis results show that the inflow performance relationship curve calculated by the model in this paper fits well with the measured data points, indicating that the calculation model has high accuracy and can provide theoretical and technical support for the field.

Moreover, the real-time acquisition of dynamometer cards can provide real-time data source for this method, improve the timeliness of oil well production analysis, and help to reduce the production management costs and improve the production efficiency and benefit.
