  • Patent number: 11982284
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling an electrical submersible pump (ESP) of a well, including a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations. The operations include obtaining a well model corresponding to the well, obtaining a target well rate for the well, then receiving, from one or more data sources associated with one or more components of the well, operational data associated with the ESP operating at the target well rate within the well, determining a target efficiency of the ESP at the target well rate based on the well model, and then modifying, based on the operational data and the target efficiency an operating characteristic of the ESP.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 30, 2022
    Date of Patent: May 14, 2024
    Assignee: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANY
    Inventors: Said S. Malki, Muhammad Daanyal, Obiomalotaoso L. Isichei, Hassan A. Hussain, Razan M. Alzamanan

  • Patent number: 8078328
    Abstract: Systems, program product, and methods for providing real-time reservoir management of one or more reservoirs across one or more fields are provided. A system can include multiple monitoring wells and at least one injection well in communication with a central facility including a reservoir management computer or server positioned to provide real-time reservoir management of the one or more reservoirs. The computer can include, stored in memory, reservoir management program code, which when executed, can cause the computer to perform the operations of calibrating an injection well model for each of one or more injection wells positioned in a reservoir responsive to real-time injection rate and wellhead pressure data associated therewith, calculating static reservoir pressure for each of the injection wells responsive to the respective calibrated injection well model and responsive to respective surface injection rate and wellhead pressure data, and generating real-time automated isobaric pressure maps.
