Abstract

Abstract: Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) is one of the artificial lift methods used to lift production fluids from wells to the surface. ESP performance is strongly influenced by the compatibility between pump capacity, reservoir conditions, fluid characteristics, and actual operating parameters. This study aims to evaluate ESP operating conditions in a well with high influx in the Pertamina Hulu Rokan Limau Field working area and determine an operating strategy suitable for the actual well conditions. A descriptive-evaluative approach was applied using well condition data, Acoustic Well Sounding, pump depth, bottom-hole pressure, casing pressure, and electrical parameters of the motor and Variable Speed Drive (VSD). The evaluation indicates that the well is dominated by a water column with an estimated water column height of approximately 1,493 m, while the pump intake depth is 1,430.60 m and the formation depth is 1,589 m. This condition indicates a substantial fluid load on the artificial lift system. In the observed operating data, the ESP operated at a frequency of 57 Hz, with motor current of approximately 28 A and voltage of approximately 2.18 kV. Based on the evaluation, optimization should be conducted through gradual VSD frequency adjustment, assessment of pump capacity suitability to the actual fluid load, and continuous monitoring of liquid level, pressure, current, and operational stability. This study provides an operational evaluation basis for ESP operation under high-influx conditions; however, quantitative production improvement requires more complete before-and-after optimization data.

Abstrak: Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) merupakan salah satu metode artificial lift yang digunakan untuk membantu mengangkat fluida dari sumur produksi menuju permukaan. Kinerja ESP sangat dipengaruhi oleh kesesuaian antara kapasitas pompa, kondisi reservoir, karakteristik fluida, serta parameter operasi aktual di lapangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi kondisi operasi ESP pada sumur dengan influx tinggi di wilayah kerja Pertamina Hulu Rokan Limau Field serta menentukan strategi pengoperasian yang sesuai dengan kondisi aktual sumur. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif-evaluatif dengan memanfaatkan data kondisi sumur, Acoustic Well Sounding, kedalaman pompa, tekanan dasar sumur, tekanan casing, serta parameter kelistrikan motor dan Variable Speed Drive (VSD). Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa kondisi sumur didominasi oleh kolom air dengan tinggi kolom air sekitar 1.493 m, sedangkan kedalaman pump intake sebesar 1.430,60 m dan kedalaman formasi sebesar 1.589 m. Kondisi tersebut menunjukkan adanya beban fluida yang besar terhadap sistem pengangkatan buatan. Pada data operasi yang diamati, ESP bekerja pada frekuensi 57 Hz dengan arus motor sekitar 28 A dan tegangan sekitar 2,18 kV. Berdasarkan evaluasi, optimalisasi perlu dilakukan melalui pengaturan frekuensi VSD secara bertahap, evaluasi kesesuaian kapasitas pompa terhadap beban fluida aktual, serta pemantauan liquid level, tekanan, arus, dan kestabilan operasi secara berkala. Penelitian ini memberikan dasar evaluasi operasional ESP pada kondisi influx tinggi, namun peningkatan produksi secara kuantitatif memerlukan data pembanding sebelum dan sesudah optimasi yang lebih lengkap.
