Development of a sucker rod pumping unit simulation model

Abstract

In this paper a process of development of sucker rod pumping unit (SRPU) simulation model with “oil reservoir-well” and control systems is presented. In this paper is presented process of development of sucker rod pumping unit (SRPU) simulation model with “oil reservoir-well” and control systems. The developed model describes the SRPU blocks for oil production in detail, allows studying the system with various equipment and well parameters and provides the logic of the closed loop system. It becomes possible to develop optimal control algorithms based on obtained dependencies. The results of simulation of operation and sucker rod pump (SRP) faults are given.
