Abstract The objectives and Scope is to evaluate the feasibility of a Production Maximization algorithm for ESPs on unconventional wells using projected operating conditions instead of current ones, which authors expect will be crucial in adjusting the well deliverability to optimum frequencies on the rapidly changing conditions of tight oil wells. Actual production data for an unconventional well was used, covering from the start of Natural Flow production up to 120 days afterwards. Simulating what the production would be if a VFD running on IMP Optimization algorithms had been installed, new values for well flowing pressures were calculated, daily production scenarios were evaluated, and recommended operating frequencies were plotted. Result, observations, and conclusions: A. Using the Intelligent Maximum Production (IMP) algorithm allows maximum production from tight oil wells during the initial high production stage, and the prevention of gas-locking at later stages when gas production increases. B. The adjustment of frequency at later stages for GOR wells is key to maintaining maximum production while controlling free gas at the intake when compared against controlling the surface choke. Novel/additive information: The use of Electrical Submersible Pumps for the production of unconventional wells paired with the use of a VFD and properly designed control algorithms allows faster recovery of investment by pumping maximum allowable daily rates while constraining detrimental conditions such as free gas at the intake.
