According to the Petroleum Engineering and Development Company (PEDEC), Hossein Mohseni-Zonouzi said the operation was carried out under the approved plans of the West Karoun field development management and aimed at increasing well productivity, stabilizing production and offsetting the reservoir’s natural pressure decline.

He said the pump was installed at a final depth of more than 2,000 meters. The equipment was designed and deployed to achieve daily production of 500 barrels of oil from Well No. 22 and is expected to significantly improve efficiency, enhance production conditions and help counter reservoir pressure loss.

Mohseni-Zonouzi noted that the use of ESPs in selected wells in the northern Yaran Field is one of the key strategies for mitigating pressure drops and increasing ultimate oil recovery. Similar operations have already been carried out in other wells in the field, resulting in higher output, more stable flow and fewer operational challenges.

He added that engineering teams for production operations, well completion and drilling services worked closely together throughout the process, completing design, equipment selection, transportation, pump deployment and final stabilization in line with PEDEC’s technical standards and HSE requirements. The system’s final performance was confirmed through electrical, hydraulic and flow tests.

Mohseni-Zonouzi said the successful completion of the project marks a significant step toward boosting Yaran Field’s production capacity and advancing PEDEC’s broader plans for the sustainable development of the West Karoun fields.
