Calculation
 Pump Sizing
1. Collect Data (well, production, fluid,
electrical??)
2. Determine production capacity of well
3. Calculate Total Dynamic head (TDH) and
determine tubing size
4. Select pump stage
5. Calculate number of stage required
 Continue .
6. Check loading of pump shaft and pump
housing pressure.
7. Calculate motor horsepower
requirements and select motor
 Example.. 1. Collect data
Casing= 5.5 Wellhead P=100 psi
Perforation=6000 Desire=1300 BPD
Tubing=2.375 Reservoir
Pump set pressure=2598 psi
depth=5500
Static fluid
level=1820
Downhole T=260F
degree
 2. Determination production
Capacity of well
Flowing fluid flow=Static fluid level+ Drawdown
So, Max Drawdown (to prefs)= Flowing fluid (pref Depth)- Stat fluid Level
Max Drawdown (to prefs) = 6000-1820= 4180

Max drawdown P(psi)= Max Drawdown (to prefs)XPG

Max drawdown P(psi)=4180 X .433 psi/ft= 1810

Max Flow (Drawdown to pref)= Max drawdown P(psi)XPI

Max Flow (Drawdown to pref)= 1810 X .9 BPD/psi = 1629 BPD
 3. Calculate TDH @ 1300 BPD

Flow level at 1300 BPD= Stat fluid level+ Drawdown

Drawdown P (psi)= Desired / PI =(1300 / .9)=1444 psi
Drawdown feet= Drawdown P/ PG
Drawdown feet =(1444/.433)= 3335 ft
Flowing fluid level @ 1300 BPD= Stat fluid level+
Drawdown feet
=1820 ft +3335 ft =5155 ft
 Continue
Friction Loss= 31 ft/ 1k X5.5k ft= 170.5 ft
31 ft /1k ft
 Continue
WHP= 100 psi/ (.433 psi/ ft)=231 ft

Therefore,

Total Dynamic Head =5155 ft+170.5+231 ft= 5556.5 ft

 4. Selecting Pump stage type
Based on the desired flow rate(1300 BPD)
Select DN1300
5. Calculate Number of Stages Req

@ 1300 BPD, DN1300 Generates

20.4 ft/stage. (from 60 Hz 3500 RPM pump curve)

Number of stages = TDH/ Head ft

# of Stages= 5556.5 ft/ (20.4 ft/ stage)= 272 stages

However, Use full housing of 276 stage

 6. Check Loading of pump shaft and
housing pressure
Pump HP=.315 HP/ stage (from curve) X 272 (# stages) X1 (SG)=87 HP

Max shaft rating =125 HP (from curve) (therefore, shaft is OK)

Max Head in oper. Range =24 ft/ stage X 276 stage= 6624 ft

Max pressure oper. Range = 6624 ft X .433 psi/ ft= 2868 psi
( housing pressure rating is 5000 psi from pump technical date, thus
housing is ok)
 7. Select Motor
Motor HP required = pump HP= 87 HP

Therefore, Select 456 series100 HP, 1350

Volts, 50 amp
Intermediate motor because of T
