DOWNHOLE PUMP INTAKE PRESSURE PREDICTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17961750 titled 'DOWNHOLE PUMP INTAKE PRESSURE PREDICTION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application relates to identifying wellbore pressure based on predicted pump intake loss for a submersible pump deployed downhole in a wellbore.
- Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are used to identify pump intake pressure after an intake for a submersible pump.
- An intake loss prediction model is accessed to identify a virtual intake loss associated with the intake for the submersible pump.
- The virtual intake loss is determined by applying the intake loss prediction model based on intake loss prediction input.
- Pump intake pressure before the intake for the submersible pump is determined based on the virtual intake loss and the identified pump intake pressure after the intake.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in the oil and gas industry for monitoring and optimizing wellbore pressure during pumping operations.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in accurately predicting pump intake pressure, which is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and safety of submersible pumps in wellbores.
Benefits
- Improved efficiency in pump operations - Enhanced safety measures in wellbore environments - Cost savings through optimized pump performance
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Wellbore Pressure Prediction Technology in Oil and Gas Industry"
Possible Prior Art

The adaptability of the intake loss prediction model to different wellbore conditions and pump setups could pose challenges in the implementation of this technology across a wide range of scenarios.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying a wellbore pressure based on a predicted pump intake loss. A pump intake pressure after an intake for a submersible pump deployed downhole in a wellbore is identified. An intake loss prediction model for identifying a virtual intake loss associated with the intake for the submersible pump as a function of one or more intake loss parameters is accessed. The virtual intake loss is identified by applying the intake loss prediction model based on intake loss prediction input of the one or more intake loss parameters. A pump intake pressure before the intake for the submersible pump is determined based on the virtual intake loss and the identified pump intake pressure after the intake.
