This course intends to show attendants the basics of ESP, how the different components can be sized and selected with simple tools that include a scientific calculator and a few graphs.

Production Engineers, Supervisors, and those in charge of fields where ESP are used as an Artificial Lift Method
After the course attendants will be able to:

1. Calculate the parameters for the selection of an ESP system using a simple, scientific calculator, and a few graphs

2. Analyze the variables that affect the performance of an ESP
3. Select the ESP and the components for your application
4. Analyze the uncertainty surrounding the selection of an ESP and learn to use Risk Analysis tools to choose the equipment configuration with the highest expected value
5. Establish effective ESP monitoring and operation policies
6. Understand how to develop Real Options scenarios for your ESP systems, and understand the basics for evaluating them
