Alkhorayef Ecuador design and install ESP solution to minimise environmental and financial impact of Oil and Gas Projects whilst delivering additional production from reservoir. An Operator in Ecuador has achieved increased production from a remote well with an Alkhorayef Petroleum Company ESP system that allows parallel production from two reservoirs through a single wellbore. Environmental and economic considerations challenged Alkhorayef to find an innovative solution that would minimise drilling costs whilst maximising the financial performance of the reservior. APC engineers designed a robust Dual ESP system to produce from two oil bearing zones that would ordinarily require two wellbores to be drilled and completed.

1. An Operator in Ecuador has
achieved significant increased
production with an Alkhorayef
Electrical Submersible Pump
(ESP) system that allows parallel
production from two reservoirs
through a single wellbore.
Environmental and economic
considerations challenged
Alkhorayef to find an innovative
solution that would minimise
drilling costs whilst maximising
the financial performance of the
reservior. Alkhorayef designed a
robust Dual ESP system to
produce from two oil bearing
zones that would ordinarily
require two wellbores to be
drilled and completed.
The upper ESP system sits
beneath a Y-tool with bypass
tubing connecting the
encapsulated lower ESP which
stabs into the packer to allow
production from the lower zone.
Both systems operate
independently and were sized
according to the inflow
characteristics of their respective
reservoirs.
Alkhorayef Ecuador successfully
met the Operators requirement to
maximise the economic
performance of the project whilst
reducing the impact of
exploration. Production
increased by approximately 500
BPD.
Benefits
Dual zone production - double
production from single wellbore
Single wellbore, reduced drilling
costs
Minimised environmental impact in
heavily forested area
Increased recovery from reservoir
Improved ROI
Two ESPs reduce costs associated
with deferred production
Background
Remote, forested area
Project validity demanded innova-
tive solutions to protect environ-
ment & maximize ROI
Maximum DLS >1° per 100’
