This study focuses on the optimization of the production of the Liawenda 753 well, a non-eruptive oil well located in the Turonian reservoir. Faced with the decrease in reservoir pressure and the inherent limitations of well drainage mechanisms, the use of an artificial lifting system is necessary. Initially equipped with a progressive cavity pump (PCP), the well is to be equipped with an electric submersible pump (ESP) in order to improve its performance.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of replacing the PCP with a PSE on the production flow rate of the Liawenda 753 well. To do this, we will analyze historical production data, reservoir and well characteristics, as well as the properties of the fluids produced. Particular attention will be paid to the influence of the depth of the well on its productivity.
