Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of driving a hydrocarbon production plant in the form of oil and gas, comprising several wells, a pressurized well activation gas network, a network hydrocarbon product collector and a downstream processing unit hydrocarbons produced.
  • all oil wells include a production column that connects the bottom of the well located at the level of hydrocarbon reservoir, at a wellhead located at its upper part.
  • the production column defines with the casing forming the wall of the well, an annular space.
  • the production column is connected to a pipeline equipped with a hydrocarbon flow sensor produced and a choke oil outlet that adjusts the flow of hydrocarbons produced.
  • a known procedure for driving such a well operated according to the mode eruptive is to enslave the flow of hydrocarbons produced by this well to a setpoint or to enslave the position of the oil outlet choke to a value opening deposit.
  • a well operated in the activated mode by injection of gas from a pressurized gas network further comprises an annular isolation seal to its bottom end, gas injection valves arranged at intervals optimized along the production column, a gas injection pipe in the annular space provided with an adjusting nozzle of the injected gas flow.
  • the injected gas has the effect of lightening the hydrocarbons circulating in the production column which facilitates their return to the wellhead.
  • a procedure for driving a well operated in the activated mode by injection of gas is described in the document FR 2 672 936. This procedure consists in acting simultaneously on the oil outlet choke and on the control choke the flow of gas injected to regulate the flow of hydrocarbons produced as a function of the value of physical quantities measured by sensors, such as the pressure and the temperature of the hydrocarbons upstream of the oil outlet choke, the pressure in the annular space or the flow of gas injected into the well.
  • a well operated in the activated mode by a pumping device immersed understands as the wells operated according to the other two modes, a pipe equipped with an oil outlet connected to the upper part of the production column, plus another pipeline connected to the upper part of the annular space, equipped with a gas ventilation choke.
