Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method to optimize oil production from a well by controlling the pressure during a plunger run. By keeping the bottom hole pressure low, the maximum amount of oil and gas can flow into the well. The pressure in the casing is set to lift the oil in the tubing to the surface, while remaining low enough to maximize oil and gas inflow. The tubing pressure is also set to overcome the pressure in the sales line and fully lift the oil to the surface. This method helps to increase oil production from a well.

Problems solved by technology

Violations of these rules, which often rely on overly-tight tolerances, expose companies to steep fines and / or penalties.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]The present invention provides its benefits across a broad spectrum of endeavors. It is applicant's intent that this specification and the claims appended hereto be accorded a breadth in keeping with the scope and spirit of the invention being disclosed despite what might appear to be limiting language imposed by the requirements of referring to the specific examples disclosed. Thus, to acquaint persons skilled in the pertinent arts most closely related to the present invention, a preferred embodiment of the system is disclosed for the purpose of illustrating the nature of the invention. The exemplary method of installing, assembling and operating the system is described in detail according to the preferred embodiment, without attempting to describe all of the various forms and modifications in which the invention might be embodied. As such, the embodiments described herein are illustrative, and as will become apparent to those skilled in the art, can be modified in numerous w...

Abstract

The SpindleIO tank pressure control systems and methods optimize well production with an algorithm that incorporates tank system pressure, sales line pressure, well tubing pressure and well casing pressure. The algorithm constantly monitors all operating pressures simultaneously to meet various regulatory and compliance thresholds, while also optimizing well output production.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. ยง 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 963,997 filed on Jan. 21, 2020, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference for all that it discloses.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for monitoring well tank pressures, and more particularly to automated systems and methods for maximizing well production by continuously monitoring a plurality of pressures within the well tank system.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Those of skilled in the art of oil and gas production will appreciate that that federal, state, and local environmental protection agencies have increasingly promulgated rules related to gas / oil holding tank emissions. Violations of these rules, which often rely on overly-tight tolerances, expose companies to steep fines and / or penalties. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide systems that control holding tank, line, and / or ...
