Artificial-Lift System Control: A Reduced-Order Transient Model for Real-Time Predictive Control of Electrical Submersible Pump Wells

Unstable well operations, driven by reservoir depletion, high gas–oil ratios, unstable inflow, and surface network interactions, have become a major challenge in modern production — especially in Western Siberian fields — causing flow instabilities and production losses. While nu...
