    Is it possible to use in this case artificial lift and semi-submersible pumps to reduce BHP?

    Thanks guys!

    THP+Phyd = BHP+Pfric
    Therefore: BHP = THP+Phyd-Pfric

    By taking a look of this simple eq. you can infer that by reducing the THP (e.g. opening a surface choke) and/or reducing Phyd (e.g. gas lift operations and artificial lift methods) you'll be able to reduce the BHP. Artificial lift methods allows the reduction of the fluid column within the wellbore (i.e. fluid level), therefore reducing Phyd.
