... of artificial lift becomes necessity. Electrical submersible pump (ESP) is the most common type of device used in artificial lift systems in the oil industry to boost pressure in mature fields. ESPs are centrifugal pumps that operate under multiphase flow conditions and are positioned at the end...

...Slickline Deployed ESP Concept Abstract Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP) are one of the most utilized artificial lift methods in the oil industry. A faster ESP replacement methodology is the ultimate solution to reduce the deferred oil production and reduce cost. This paper focuses...

... Artificial lift methods are necessary to meet oil demands world-wide. Currently, electrical submersible pumps (ESP) is one of the main methods commonly utilized in industry for artificial lift. ESPs are essential in order to achieve high rate oil production. They are designed per well...

... both. Figure 1 PMM Vs. Induction motor losses Let us understand the ESP selection to conduct the study in this paper. We undertook the first 4 sets of wells for PMM operation in this field. These four wells were broadly selected based on ESP operation along with an induction motor...

... Abstract One of the challenges electric submersible pumps (ESPs) face in harsh environments is the corrosion of copper electric components caused by H 2 S. Copper is aggressively and quickly corroded by H 2 S, compromising the electrical integrity of the system. ESP improvements...

... Abstract Increase the Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) run life is the main goal of any operator company specially in offshore fields where the expense of ESP replacement, including workover costs and deferred production are high. Early ESP failure in harsh fields has led to look for reliable...

... of the pumps is commonly used in downhole ESP applications, and capable of handling well fluids at 60 to 70% intake GVF when operating at 3600 RPM. The HAPs consisted of 23 stages, with the rotor and diffuser of each stage mainly casted from Nickel and Copper metallurgies. A picture of the HAP is shown...

... Abstract Alternative deployed ESP Systems are strings that are deployed in the well on other than conventional tubulars. Coiled Tubing (CT) deployed Electric Submersible Pumps is one of the most common configurations and has been used successfully in Al Karkara field to reduce intervention cost...

... Abstract Managing large-scale Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) operations and assessing their performance can be a challenging task. Diverse operational environments, widely-spread geographical areas, large ESP populations, and different service providers are some of the complications facing...

... Abstract This paper describes the overall system architecture and key enablers for through-tubing live well deployable ESPs. Further, the results from a series of installation and recovery trials are presented showing low cost cable deployable ESP's are now a reality. Central to the design...

... Abstract Real-time electric submersible pump (ESP) surveillance is becoming a standard in the oil industry, and many successful cases of applying 24/7 monitoring have been recorded around the world. Kuwait has more than 1,300 ESP installations, with the majority containing both downhole...

...Background Ultra-high-speed (UHS) ESP was initially developed as an alternative of traditional ESP for operation in harsh environment. Operational benefits of UHS ESP are resulted from: High nameplate operating speed (10,000 rpm) – contributing to compact design and wide operating...
