MODELLING OF ELECTRICAL SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS FOR PETROLEUM MULTIPHASE FLUIDS, AN INTELLIGENT APPROACH SUPPORTED BY A CRITICAL REVIEW AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
This paper initially reviews existing empirical models which predict head or pressure increase of two-phase petroleum fluids in electrical submersible pumps (ESPs), then, proposes an alternative model, a fully connected cascade (FCC in short) artificial neural network to serve the same purpose. Empirical models of ESP …
