La compañía Novomet ha desplegado con éxito el sistema de bombeo electrosumergible (Electric Submersible Pump System– ESP) más pequeño del mundo, el primero de su tipo considerando un conjunto completo. Se ha demostrado su eficacia en un diámetro interno de tubería (ID) de 3 pulgadas probado bien sin el uso de un equipo de torre convencional.

Los motores de imanes permanentes (PMM) se emplean en las instalaciones de bombas electrosumergibles de la misma manera que son utilizados los motores asíncronos. Estos motores se fabrican a base de paquetes del rotor con imanes permanentes de material aglomerado magnéticos duros.

This paper presents concepts and recommendations regarding Artificial Lift Systems (ALS´s) management during productive life of oil fields, envisioning: selection, acquisition, installation, monitoring and evaluation criteria, as well as subsequent inspection thereof, and highlighting the more important that applies particularly to unconventional oil fields. Issues analyzed herein involve definitions of roles, functions and competencies related to operator as well as service companies and sectors involved or required to live up to the challenges posed by these systems.

Two scenarios that represent Latin American region real cases are presented and illustrated with the analysis of these ALS´s management topics; one of them, the oldest productive basin in Argentina, as an example of conventional oilfields with experience in Artificial Lift Management and the other, an unconventional field recently re-activated with an accelerated development pace, being exploited in Mexico. Conclusions are presented in terms of that ALS´s Integral management should be taken with strategic and integrated vision, in accordance with current level of development, future plans, and complexity of the field; not only focused on maximum oil production, but also on optimizing production costs; and contemplate all  parts commitment that add value to the whole process.

Para aquellos que transitamos la industria de los hidrocarburos en Argentina desde hace muchos años, no es extraño y de hecho estamos familiarizados a la realidad de que para producir petróleo en las principales cuencas del país, se requiere mover mucha agua salada desde las formaciones productivas.
