PCP systems for coalbed methane dewatering

Progressive cavity pumps (PCPs) have become one of the most common types of lift methods for dewatering coalbed-methane wells. Water rates are typically high during initial production and may exceed 400 m 3 /d [2,500 B/D] in some cases but normally decline to ≈ 25% of their original level after a few months. The produced water often …

Dewatering a deep gas well with a gas lift system-a case …

Dewatering of the well is accomplished by injecting gas down the tubing-casing annulus and through the gas lift valves. The injection and dewatering process continues until the reservoir pressure overcomes the hydrostatic head. At this point the well will kick-off and flow. To maintain this flowing condition, a portion of the wellstream is ...
