| dc.description.abstract | Batı Raman Heavy Oil Field is the largest oil field in Turkey in terms of oil reserve potential. Since 1961,oil production continues in this field. Although mostly sucker rod pumps (SRP) are used in this field toproduce oil, the number of progressive cavity pumps (PCP) increases day by day. Hence, in this study, itis aimed to design SRP system and PCP system in the conditions of Batı Raman Heavy Oil Field.According to daily oil well production data of this field, these designs were completed for three cases:Case 1 (60 bbl/day), Case 2 (5 bbl/day) and Case 3 (150 bbl/day). The output results of this studyindicates that less power requirement of PCP system (54.5 %, 46.9 % and 49.1 % of the powerrequirements of SRP systems for Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3, respectively) and its flexibility in viscousheavy oil including solid particles make PCP system more advantageous. | |
