Abstract

In regards with the global increase in energy demand, especially regarding oil and gas, the industry brings up new innovations daily in order to satisfy the increasing demand. One of the solutions in oil and gas production could be the hydraulic concentric tubular pump, which is invented and tested at the Montanuniversität Leoben, Austria. For a better understanding of this artificial lift system, three scientific works are presented dedicated to this system. Based on them theoretical cases were made and an economic comparison has been made between this system and the sucker rod pumps, which are the most common in the oil industry. After the calculations in set cases, it may be concluded that in general this innovation requires less energy in comparison with the most common artificial lift system, which can postpone the economic limit in oil and gas production and in the end increase the ultimate recovery factor of a reservoir.

Abstract (croatian)

S obzirom na globalni porast potražnje za energijom, prije svega nafte i plina, industrija dolazi svakodnevno do novih inovacija u svrhu zadovoljavanja sve veće potražnje. Jedno od rješenja u proizvodnji nafte i plina može biti i hidraulička pumpa u bušotini s koncentričnim opremanjem tubinga, koja je proizvedena i testirana u Sveučilištu u Leobenu u Austriji. Za bolje razumijevanje samog proizvodnog sustava, u ovom radu predstavljena su tri znanstvena rada posvećena ovom sustavu. Na temelju njih su postavljeni teoretski slučajevi gdje se provela ekonomska usporedba između ovog proizvodnog sustava i dubinskih sisaljki s klipnim šipkama koje se najčešće koriste u naftnoj industriji. Nakon izračuna u postavljenim slučajevima, može se doći do zaključka kako općenito takva inovacija zahtijeva manje energije u odnosu na najčešću proizvodnu opremu, što može dovesti do pomicanja granice ekonomičnosti u proizvodnji nafte te konačno do povećanog iscrpka ležišta.
