The article describes design features of sectional BB4 and double case BB5 pumps according to the API 610 requirements applied in water injection systems in order to maintain the reservoir pressure during oil production. The pumps considered are CNSp240-1422 and CNSDp240-1422 produced by HMS Group. Design optimization of casing parts is conducted by means of Finite Element Analysis in order to minimize the mass. The optimization criteria are a static strength and stiffness, and the corresponding results of strength calculation are presented.
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.
