Theoretically, this selection has to consider an extensive number of variables, making hard to select the optimal Artificial Lift System. However, in practice, a limited number of variables and empirical knowledge are used in this selection process. The latter increases system failure probability due to pump - well incompatibility. The multi-criteria decision-making methods present mathematical modelling for selection processes with finite alternatives and high number of criteria. These methodologies make it feasible to reach a final decision considering all variables involved. In this paper, we present a software application based on a sequential mathematical analysis of hierarchies for variables, a numerical validation of input data and, finally, an implementation of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods (SAW, ELECTRE and VIKOR) to select the most adequate artificial lift system for crude oil production in Colombia. Its novel algorithm is designed to rank seven Artificial Lift Systems, considering diverse variables in order to make the decision. The results are validated with field data in a Case study relating to a Colombian oilfield, with the aim of reducing the Artificial Lift Failure Rate.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN La selección del sistema de levantamiento artificial es un factor clave para mejorar la eficiencia energética, aumentar los beneficios y ampliar la vida útil de los activos en cualquier pozo productor de petróleo. Teóricamente, esta selección debe tener en cuenta un gran número de variables, lo que dificulta la elección del sistema óptimo. Sin embargo, en la práctica, este proceso involucra un número limitado de variables y conocimiento empírico lo cual aumenta la probabilidad de falla del sistema debido a la incompatibilidad entre la bomba y el pozo. Los métodos de toma de decisiones multicriterio presentan modelos matemáticos para procesos de selección con alternativas finitas y un alto número de criterios. Estas metodologías hacen factible tomar una decisión considerando todas las variables involucradas. En este artículo, presentamos una aplicación software basada en un análisis matemático secuencial jerárquico de variables, una validación numérica de datos de entrada y una implementación de métodos multicriterio para toma de decisiones (MCDM, por sus siglas en inglés): SAW, ELECTRE y VIKOR. Esto con el fin de seleccionar el sistema de levantamiento artificial más adecuado. Su novedoso algoritmo está diseñado para clasificar siete sistemas, considerando diversas variables en la toma de decisión. Los resultados se validan con datos de un campo colombiano, enfocándose en reducir el índice de falla de los pozos de dicho campo.]]></p></abstract>
