Abstract
The methods of artificial lifting are fundamental in the petroleum industry for initiating or incrementing the production of wells that have insufficient reservoir energy to raise the fluids to the surface. In this case, the use of Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) is very important. For the petroleum industry, it is important to determine the ESP’s performance working with viscous fluids. Therefore, in this paper, an Artificial Neural Network is proposed to identify the behavior of pump working with glycerin. Two different ANN structures were tested to identify the ESP’s performance, the Multilayer Perceptron, and the Neural Network Finite Impulse Response, and the best structure was chosen through various validation tests. This paper also proposes to compare the response of the best ANN structure with a correlation proposed by Biazussi on ESP working with viscous fluid and low viscosity in single-phase flow.
