Patent

CA 2699203

The invention relates to a plant for the production of a heavy-oil-based hydrocarbon effluent from at least one well, the plant comprising: an injection system (9, 11-16) for injecting an effluent lightening fluid into the bottom of the well; an effluent discharge pump (20); a plurality of sensors (21-26, 30) for measuring physical quantities relative to the plant; and a controller (10) designed to optimize the lightening fluid injection flow rate and to regulate the speed of the pump (20) according to the physical quantities and to a predetermined target production value, the speed of the pump and the physical quantities each lying within a defined range of values. The invention also relates to a hydrocarbon production process in a plant according to the invention. The invention ensures that there is a minimum consumption of lightening fluid while still ensuring proper operation of the pump and good productivity of the well.

L'invention concerne une installation de production d'effluent d'hydrocarbures à base d'huile lourde à partir d'au moins un puits, l'installation comprenant : un système (9, 11-16) d'injection en fond du puits de fluide d'allégement d'effluent; une pompe (20) d'évacuation d'effluent; une pluralité de capteurs (21-26, 30) de mesure de grandeurs physiques relatives à l'installation; un automate (10) adapté à optimiser le débit d'injection de fluide d'allégement et à réguler la vitesse de la pompe physiques et d'une valeur cible de production prédéterminée, la vitesse de la pompe et les grandeurs physiques étant chacune comprises dans une plage de valeurs déterminées. L'invention concerne également un procédé de production d'hydrocarbures dans, une installation selon l'invention. L'invention permet d'assurer une consommation minimum de fluide d'allégement, tout en assurant un bon fonctionnement de la pompe et une bonne productivité du puits.
