Abstract
A system for optimising injection of a diluent to one, some or all of one or more wells comprising a downhole pump and holding means for the diluent, said holding means being connected to the or each well via one or more injection lines through which the diluent may be pumped by diluent injection means, characterised in that said system comprises measurement means for real time measurement of one or more production performance parameters, and measurement of the rate of injection of the diluent; and means for optimising the injection of the diluent to at least one of said one or more wells on the basis of: (i) means for making controlled variations of the diluent injection into the at least or each well; (ii) means for the processing of the real time measurements of the production performance parameters affected by these variations to determine any necessary adjustment of the injection of the diluent towards an optimal value; and (iii) if required, making the corresponding physical adjustment of the injection of the diluent in order to bring production performance closer to the optimal point, as well as a method for said optimisation.
