Abstract

Production rate from oil fields is reduced due to various parameters with time. So it is necessary to use some methods to compensate the reduction of production rate. Artificial lift refers to use of artificial means to increase the flow of liquids, such as crude oil or water, from a production well and is the most suitable way to increase production rate. It is achieved by the reduction of downhole pressure. Artificial lift includes five methods and it is very important to select the best method, considering the field conditions. In this paper, the best artificial lift is selected, using multiple criteria decision making models, such as; Elimination Et Choix Traduisant He realite (ELECTRE). For this reason, 25 effective field parameters were used from the Malekoh oil field for analyzing. Comparing the obtained results from the multiple criteria decision making methods, the best artificial lift method in the corresponding field was selected.
