Abstract: The invention relates to the production of hydrocarbons in the form of oil and gas, from a well activated by a pumping system. According to the invention, a hydrocarbon production well comprising a submerged pump (5) driven by an electric motor (6), an oil outlet choke (17) and a gas venting choke (22) is operated by acting, during the various production phases, on the chokes and on the speed of the electric motor (6) either in turn or simultaneously. Furthermore, correct operation of the well is constantly checked and it is also checked that the current drawn by the motor (6) does not cross thresholds that vary as a function of the speed of the motor (6). The invention finds its application in the oil industry.

Abstract: Method and installation for the production of hydrocarbons from a mixture of said hydrocarbons with an aqueous phase by use of a reinjection unit (7), and a separation unit (8) and with regulating the reinjection rate as a function of the content of hydrocarbons (16,15) in the aqueous phase.

Abstract: Production of pertroleum deposits in which water is mixed with the hydrocarbons. The quality of separation is controlled by incorporating within a packer (200) a regulated valve (100) which receives the flow of reinjection water after its separation in a unit (7), the water passing into a fluorescence analyzer (4). The results of the measurement are transmitted to a microprocessor unit (12) which produces a signal which actuates a hydraulic pump (9), which in its turn, actuates the valve (100). Separation of water from the hydrocarbons at the bottom of the well and control of the quality of the separation are effected before the reinjection of the water in a subterranean deposit zone (3).
