Using Hydraulic Systems to Power Multiple Wells in Oil & Gas Production

Using one central hydraulic system to power multiple wells is a popular setup. A single triplex pump, depending on the amount of power oil needed, could supply power oil to up to eight wells. The advantage of using such a system is that you only need to obtain and maintain a single hydraulic power system. The downside is that when that system is down for repairs or maintenance, all of the wells that depend on it stop producing.

Multiple Wells

 

Power Oil Tanks

Crude oil is the most common source of hydraulic power for lease pumping. This oil is stored in the power oil tank in the tank battery. The power oil tank is the last tank in the oil processing system and is located just before the crude oil stock or sales tanks. The power oil tank is usually taller than the sales tanks. This allows the supply from the power tank to be located about two feet below where the excess production equalizes over into the sales tanks.

Multiple Wells

In addition, two feet below the standard supply line, there is an emergency supply line controlled by a separate valve. The valve can be opened to supply additional power oil in the case of an emergency. When everything goes back to normal, you can just shut that valve to stop the additional flow of power oil. It’s usually straightforward to pump oil in the sales tanks back to the power oil tank if it runs low.

 

Power Oil Lines

The other major component of using a central power oil system are the power oil lines. The hydraulic system should be placed near the tank battery. Once the header has been installed, a separate power oil supply line is run to each oil well; usually a 1-inch line is enough to do the job. A return flow line is then run from the well bank to the tank battery. Each well will have both of lines to link it to the overall system.

Using Produced Water

It’s possible to use water produced from a well in place of crude oil. It’s not possible in every case, as the water has to be free of scale and corrosive compounds that damage equipment and are hard to eliminate.

However, in areas where it’s possible, it can be a wise choice. Water is easier to control than oil, and easier to neutralize. A special fitting can be added to the heater/treater that draws water from the system. Alternatively, it’s possible to tap directly into the produced water disposal system. That means that when using produced water, you don’t need to add a power oil tank to your tank battery.

 

Using A Closer Power Oil System

The power oil can be pumped and reused through its own system by adding a third line from the surface to the hydraulic pump. This sort of system would also require a special power oil tank be installed, as well as the additional line to the pump. However, it’s a good option when the produced fluids are too corrosive to be used for power.

 

Spotting Problems With Multiple Wells

When you’re using a single pump for a single well, problems are usually fairly straightforward to spot. When production starts to fall suddenly, you only have one set of equipment to check for issues.

If you’re operating multiple wells off a single power source, however, that multiplies the amount of work you have to do. It’s helpful to be able to narrow down the problem to a single well and its associated systems. To do that, you’ll have to put together a distribution manifold.

A standard layout is shown on the diagram. It controls five wells, each with a riser and set of valves, while the sixth valve is used in testing. It’s possible to test an individual well’s flow by opening (in this diagram) the first, lower valve on the right, which is the automatic bypass. By opening the second header from the right, which is the individual well test line, it’s possible to send the power oil through a meter which tracks the number of barrels that have gone through in a given period. After the oil goes through the back line and comes forward again to the selected well header, that valve is opened and the front valve is closed so that the test can begin. Returning the valves to their original settings will return the system to normal operation.

It’s possible to modify the manifold header depending on your needs. For example, it’s often helpful to add openings so you can add solubles or chemicals if you need to.

TAKE THE QUIZ

Start

Send us your Well and Pumper info 📑

Your team sits back while our Petroleum Engineers turn key your build out, setting up all production facilities to precisely mirror what you’ve got going on in the field.

Day 1

Roll out Pumpers 👨🏻‍🦰👴🏻👨🏻👨🏾‍🦱👴🏽🧔🏼‍♂️📲

We train, instruct and hand hold your pumpers every step of the way. Typical time for a pumper to learn the app? 8 minutes.

Week 1

Immediate Results 🎯

  • Your production data in On Time: Because your pumper can enter production on ANY device (Android, Apple, tablet, PC, Mac, Desktop or Laptop) AND the app works offline, you’ve eliminated ANY excuse for you NOT to have your data. PS for better or worse, NOBODY leaves their home without their phone 😉
  • Your production data is Quality Controlled: Because the app checks your pumpers’ work, all your production data should now be QC’d.

Week 6

6% Lift in your Net Profit Margins Achieved or You Don’t Pay 💯💰📈

  • Your production data is in a Centralized Place: Because you have a simple system and everyone in the field knows how to work it, no one on the team ever has to wonder what’s really going on in the field.
  • The pulse and overall health of your company’s production is now known at all times
  • The status of any asset or pumper can be reviewed from any device
    • Because of this, you have now progressed to the point where you may want to set up Alerts around your production. To get you started (and get your creative juices flowing), we’ll implement two alerts on your behalf:
      • Comments
        • Get notified anytime a pumper leaves a comment without having to dig for it.
      • 7/14/30 Day Running Average
        • Get treatment to a well as soon as it shows signs of falling off.
    • However, the number and type of Alerts you can set up around your production are endless. A few common examples we see as having the biggest impact to your operations are:
  • Reduced Downtime
        • A well never sits idle for longer than it has to due to a pumper not calling it in.
  • Account for Every Drop of Oil
        • Each transfer of crude is meticulously tracked and every drop accounted for. No more skimming vacuum truck operators or purchasers pulling that extra inch of ‘velvet’ from your oil hauls.
  • Cap Ceiling Pressures on Injection and SWD wells
      • Injection wells are rated for certain pressures and blow outs are expensive. Get notified anytime an injector creeps above its maximum allowable pressure.
    • How many days since a Pumper last checked in? 👀
      • Do we trust our pumpers? Yes! Do we also want to verify they’re doing what they’re supposed to do? Oh yes!! Anytime a pumper goes AWOL for more than X days (doesn’t show up on site, doesn’t submit data) you know about it.

The bad news is you still have to work. The good news is you now have the power to put full oversight of both your pumpers and your production on automatic enabling you to focus on the activities in your company that will move the needle such as acquiring more wells, drilling and re-completions, or simply taking more time off 🏝️

WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE GREASEBOOK

Ask us anything

F.A.Q.

Not really. Simply share with us your Excel reports, paper gauge sheets, or the login to your existing legacy production software and we’ll take care of the rest. Our petroleum engineers turn-key your entire setup, we’ll reach out once we’re done. Bada bing.

You’re right. And, because no one leaves their house without their phone (and because our app works offline), we eliminate any excuse for your pumpers NOT to send you their data. See, we told you this would be easy.

In addition to both Android and Apple smartphones, the Greasebook also works on any tablet, laptop, or desktop.

While Greasebook has been implemented in many of the country’s largest publicly traded production companies operating thousands of wells, Greasebook is focused on serving the small and mid-sized independent US-based oil & gas operators.

Anywhere, anytime, on any device (phone, tablet, desktop or laptop).

The beauty of the app is once your pumpers start submitting their production via the Greasebook – anyone on your team can access production reports, graphs and well files from any device at any time.

It’s sorta like a centralized place from which everyone on your team can work, without all the calls, text messages and emails that would go on otherwise.

All day long.

Absolutely. As your pumpers continue to add tickets, comments, pressures, well tests and any other relevant information, your investors will have guest access to as much (or as little) information as you’d like.

Of course, they’ll only see production info for the wells in which they participate.

Oil & gas companies who run Legacy oil and gas software systems expose themselves to major risks (and minor annoyances…)

The complexity of traditional oil & gas production systems is twofold:

  1. Software Problem: Legacy software systems are expensive, outdated, clunky and have extremely complex interfaces. In fact, because of all the support and manual interventions required, continuing to use outdated software can often be more costly than simply upgrading.
  2. People Problem: Legacy software systems take an enormous amount of time to familiarize oneself with. And, anytime an employee quits, retires, or is let go the amount of training required for new employees can be significantly higher than for newer, more user-friendly software.

 

This is a lose/lose. What’s more, given all the set-up fees, training fees, support fees and the like the projected ‘savings’ never materialize and now your forced to contend with fluctuating hydrocarbon prices AND a bloated monthly OPEX.

Talk about getting stuck in the muck!

With Greasebook, office users are 99% proficient with the platform in about 20 minutes.

Within 2 seconds – FROM YOUR SMARTPHONE – you’ll have your answer to any question regarding production, allocations, performance, well history files, commentary, run ticket reconciliation, Custom Reports, State reports, and more – all sliced and diced and customized at the Company, Operator, Battery, Well, State, County, Section, Township, Range, Acquisition, or even Supervisor level…

We’ve been at this for awhile. Greasebook was established in 2012 and now supports more than 400+ oil and gas operators (small ma & pops and publicly traded companies alike) across 20 States.

Today, Greasebook is now the fastest growing production software in the patch.👏

The Greasebook corporate outpost is proudly located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 🤠📍

The Greasebook helpdesk is staffed by Petroleum Engineers, Geologists, and Completions Experts Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM CST. 

We have a real-time chat through which most questions are answered in 2 minutes or less.

Naturally, some questions are more complex and you’ll want to speak to someone over the phone. In this case, we aim to complete all callbacks within two hours of scheduling.👌

Of course, your Dashboard and Reports are available to you 24/7.

We don’t blame them.

Pumpers have been burned by Legacy Production Systems in the past. 😵

However, given how much upside you stand to gain in the form of time savings and profit, DON’T let the tail wag the dog, folks!! 💸

Real talk: the average pumper takes about 8 minutes to learn Greasebook (and that goes for guys in their 80s still tending wells…)

Give us two days and we’ll make believers out of your entire pumping crew….

Still not convinced? Check out Greasebook’s “Pumper Wall of Love” by clicking here and let the pumpers tell you themselves 😘

Let us help you help yourself. Simply send us your existing production info, and we’ll assign one of our Petroleum Engineers to turn-key your entire setup for you.

We’ll build your wells, your tank straps, your users and anything else you require.

Finally, once everything has been reviewed by your team, we’ll roll out your pumpers and either train them for you or with you – whichever you prefer.

That’s not a question, but actually no.

The average pumper demands anywhere from $125 to $400 per month.

And depending on what you require, Greasebook is priced anywhere from $5-15 well/mo.

So, given how much more you’ll get out of your pumpers, how much we’ll streamline your operations, and how quickly we’ll get this all done for you, we’re actually kind of a bargain.

Our guarantee is two-pronged…

First, run the app for full 6 weeks in your operations. If you’re not completely satisfied YOU DON’T PAY.

Second, if for any reason you’d like your money back in first 30 days after paying simply let us know and it’s yours. 🤝

However, if you’re anything like our other 400+ operators you’ll be wondering why you didn’t do this 6 months ago…

We’re ready when you are. Take the quiz and schedule a call here – depending how many operators we have in front of you, there’s a chance we can get you up and running by the end of next week.
