Publication number: 20240110473Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying a wellbore pressure based on a predicted pump intake loss. A pump intake pressure after an intake for a submersible pump deployed downhole in a wellbore is identified. An intake loss prediction model for identifying a virtual intake loss associated with the intake for the submersible pump as a function of one or more intake loss parameters is accessed. The virtual intake loss is identified by applying the intake loss prediction model based on intake loss prediction input of the one or more intake loss parameters. A pump intake pressure before the intake for the submersible pump is determined based on the virtual intake loss and the identified pump intake pressure after the intake.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Yuzhu HU, Frank CORREDOR, Hans SJERPS, Casey Laine NEWPORT, Joshua Wayne WEBSTER, Jason Eugene HILL, Clara Susana Tandazo CASTRO
