SUBMERSIBLE COMPRESSOR TO ENHANCE GAS PRODUCTION AT THE GAS FIELD

Over the next 20 years, the role of natural gas in global energy consumption
will increase. The speed of transition to natural gas will be driven by environmental
issue, market demand and latest technology. This project is about developing
a technological solution for the oil and gas industry's recognized problem
of maximizing gas extraction from the gas field by trialing the technology which will
increase production. The objectives of this study are to identify an option to boost the
gas production and to maintain the pressure at the base of the well by means to
prevent the problem of liquid loading by developing the submersible compressor.
Submersible Compressor helps to maintain the well energy to lift the gas to the
surface by maintaining the pressure differential between the well and surface. The
submersible compressor is used in multiple stage compression modes. Scope of study
includes the drawing of full scale submersible compressor by using CA TIA &
AUTOCAD then exported to GAMBIT and FLUENT for subsequence analysis. The
results of the analysis consist of discharge pressure and velocity of the compressor.
The main target is to increase the discharge pressure so that the pressure differential
between well and surface increased.
