The results of numerical modeling of the operation of a well equipped with electric centrifugal pump installations under conditions of a gradual deterioration of pump characteristics (head, flow rate, efficiency) are presented. In this case, the residual resource of the installation is estimated as a period of time during which, due to a gradual increase in frequency, it is possible to maintain a constant flow rate of the well. Recommendations are given for determining the residual life in the field based on indirect measurement of pump performance degradation. A method for determining the residual life of a well equipped with installations of electric centrifugal pumps under abrasive wear conditions is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
