The principle of operation is based on turbulent friction, in which a spatial vortex flow is formed, rotating together with the rotor and moving along its axis. The pump housing diameter is 4.00 inches and operates...

... 11S9 RP can be used to develop detailed procedures for the safe handling of a PMM. The procedures may originate from operators, vendors or be a combined best practices document. Examples are given for updating existing procedures (for induction motors) along with crafting new PMM-specific...

... Abstract This paper presents advancements in electrical submersible pump (ESP) technology that were specifically designed for use in high-enthalpy geothermal wells. It discusses the unique challenges associated with geothermal operations and highlights the opportunities offered by the new ESP...

... construction in different ways; some systems cannot pass through a highly deviated section, and others cannot operate in a high-DLS section. The maximum deviation that equipment can pass through without risk of permanent damage depends on factors such as equipment outer diameter, casing inner diameter...

... Abstract ESPs operating in high dog leg severity (DLS) wells are prone to bending loads and vibration levels that may contribute to early failure modes such as shorted motor stators, rotor strikes and shaft breaks. Electrical signature analysis (ESA) has recently shown potential to identify...

... lines supplying the power to ESPs. The data collected from several wells on a single production pad were trended over several months to determine warning thresholds and subsequently operational recommendations to improve overall production and reliability performance. The information collected from...

... Abstract Unplanned electric submersible pump (ESP) failures cause significant revenue loss due to deferred production, and increased operational cost associated with emergency workovers. Timely prediction of failures due to critical operating conditions can help operators take proactive actions...

... Abstract While most of the offshore and high-profile land electric submersible pump (ESP) installations are equipped with downhole sensors for measurement of operating conditions at the pump intake and discharge, ESP systems in land operations typically do not include pump discharge pressure...

... Abstract Operators and manufacturers of ESP equipment have generally overlooked the consequences of high productivity on the operation of Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP's). The high productivity itself causes issues such as the difficulty to identify correct rotation when starting an ESP...
