A.B. Neely, Shell Oil Company
The Shell-operated Denver Unit of the Wasson Field consists of approximately 850 producing wells. Over 700 of these are being produced by sucker-rod pump. Average production is about 400 BFPD with an average water cut of 60 percent. Surveillance of the rod-pumped wells is being achieved with a computer-based pump-off control. Initial benefits of 4 percent increase in production and an I8 percent savings in electrical energy are being achieved. Other operational benefits which are realized are described.
