High GOR ESP Experience and Development Concept for a Challenging Oil Field in the Sultanate of Oman

g’s to date, the study provided the technical basis to assure feasibility of the proposed development plan for the expected high GOR producing environment. Further economic assessment of the artificial-lift selection decision, which is not detailed in this paper, supported a significant impact to the project on the order of 1/3 of its expected value. This paper summarizes the range of PDO operating experience to date with ESPs installed in high GOR conditions. Additional details are shared regarding the feasibility study for field T including supporting rational for the artificial-lift selection for the project concept selection, proposed well completion concept design and the artificial-lift economic evaluation. Finally, established best practices for high GOR fields and key challenges going forward will be discussed.
