ESP History
• The father of the ESP was Armais Arutunoff born in
1893 in Georgia
• Age 16 he started development of submersible Motor
• Moved to Bartlesville in 1928 with backing from
Phillips Petroleum
• First ESP in Oil Patch was in 1928 in El Dorado Field
near Burns, Kansas – It ran for 16 days
• REDA: Russian Electric Dynamo of Arutunoff
established in 1930 in Bartlesville, OK
• Became Schlumberger-REDA Production Systems in
the late 1990s
Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP)

1. Downhole equipment installed


into a well to lift fluid to surface
Gauge, Motor, Seal, Pump, MLC & Power
Cable

2. Surface equipment is to control


the motor and supply it with electric
current
Transformers, VSD/FSD, Junction Box
ESP – Main Downhole Components
 Pump: Adds pressure to the fluid.
 Intake/Gas separator: Inlet of the fluid inside the
ESP. Separates gas.
 Motor Seal: Provides protection to the motor from
well fluids and allows thermal expansion.
 Motor: Generates the power required to operate
the ESP.
 Cable and MLE: Transmit power from surface to
downhole motor.
 Sensor: Captures data that allows ESP equipment
protection, production optimization and reservoir
management.
ESP – Main Surface Components
 VSD/Switch Board/Motor Controller: Operate,
Monitor and Control the ESP system downhole
components.
 Transformer: Provides power to the
VSD/SWB/Motor Controller (Step down) and the
ESP downhole components (Step up).

 Junction Box: Allows connection between surface


and downhole cable, and gas venting to the
atmosphere.

 Wellhead: Must have a provision for the electrical


cable to pass through the hanger assembly to the
surface.
ESP – High Volume Wells Applications

• Centrifugal pumps are capable of producing higher rates compared to


positive displacement pump types in oil well casing applications.
• More horsepower can be delivered to the pump in oil well casing
compared to other artificial lift methods.
• Other artificial lift methods should be considered for lower
production rates, as these are usually more economical.
• It is important to consider the pump setting depth, downhole
temperatures, and how the system will operate for various flow rates
and conditions.
• Chemicals and well conditions (abrasives) must be considered.
