Artificial Lift as Applied to the Multiple Completion Choke Assembly

A desire to return to operations in the simpler, single string form, yet maintain multiple zone allowable, formulated by the economic squeeze was the need which created the multiple completion choke assembly. A pressure production base was established as the means of allocating production, but this type of test procedure creates an economic burden which must be eliminated when a well moves to artificial lift status. A review of past allocation means, the new rules which govern multiple completion chokes in flowing and artificial lift wells, and installations utilizing improved producing techniques with pronounced savings are discussed.
