Abstract: The production in the basin named "X" (for confidential reasons) through the well called "Z" (for confidential reasons) located in the eastern part of the basin X decreases as time goes despite its activation by gas lift. The goal of the paper is to activate the well Z by converting its activation by gas lift to an electric submersible pump (ESP) in order to maximize its production. From the completion and PVT data processed in PIPESIM and integrating a number of calculations by nodal analysis and decline curve methods, the results obtained show that the well Z without activation does not produce.
