Talk Title: Real-time Optimization for Artificial Lift Systems
Abstract: Almost 90% of the oil wells are on some form of artificial lift and significant cost savings as well as production improvements are possible by employing analysis techniques that are integrated in real-time data acquisition systems. After discussing importance of real time optimization for artificial lift systems and basic infrastructure required for the same, this presentation focuses on a three tiered approach to the optimization and application integration. Three published case studies are presented to demonstrate effectiveness of such approaches.
Biography: Rajan Chokshi works for Weatherford International as a Director of training and competency for artificial lift and production optimization systems in Houston. In a career spanning over 25 years, Rajan has worked on many petroleum and software engineering projects globally in the areas of multi-phase flow, artificial lift design and optimization, and production optimization. He has made many presentations and continues to teach professional courses in these areas. Besides training and competency, his interests are developing and nurturing young talent globally; technology integration and commercialization. Rajan holds a Masters in Chemical Engineering from IIT, Kanpur, India and a Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Tulsa, OK, USA
