Information needed by the Pump Curve Setup wizard:
•
Units for Calculated Flow.
–
Options are barrels per day (BBL/Day), cubic meters per day (m3/Day), and gallons per minute (GPM).
•
Units for the Pump Head channel.
–
Options are Feet and Meters
•
Units for the Power channel.
–
Options are Horsepower (HP) and kilowatts (kW).
•
Units for Differential Pressure.
–
Options are pounds per square inch (PSI), Bar, kiloPascals (kPa), megaPascals (MPa). These units
MUST MATCH the units used for Intake and Discharge pressure.
•
Pump Manufacturer and Model
•
Number of pump stages
•
Pump Type
–
Options are Floater, Compression, and SPS.
•
Water Specific Gravity
–
If you plan to use Viscosity Compensation, enter the specific gravity of the water in the Oil/Water
mixture being pumped.
–
If you do not plan to use Viscosity Compensation, enter the specific gravity of the Oil/Water mixture.
•
If Viscosity Compensation is used, you will also have to enter
–
Water Cut
–
Oil Specific Gravity
–
Well fluid viscosity
◆
Options are Viscosity Compensation Disabled, Pump Curve Interpolation Method, Hydraulic Institute
Method.
–
Flow Adjustment Factor
When the wizard is complete, the configuration parameters can be adjusted by navigating to Home Screen
-> Settings -> Menu -> Other Initial Setup -> Next Page -> Pump Curve Setup
The Pump Curve and Thrust Limits screens are available by navigating to Home Screen -> Data -> Pump
Curve Screen (or Thrust Limits Graph)
More details about pump curves are available in the Section 11: Pump Curves, page 241 of this manual.
