Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP)
Course Description
This course deals with topics related to sucker components and systems of electrical submersible pumps (ESP). It covers the development of electrical submersible pumps, outline of systems range, components, and completions, variable speed controllers, sizing – implications – data requirements, operation and trouble shooting. This course will enhance the participant’s knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to understand the components and systems of electrical submersible pumps (ESP). ESPs are one of the higher volume methods of lift. ESPs have advantages over some other high volume methods since they can create a higher drawdown on the formation and achieve more production, if problems such as gas interference and sand production can be solved.

This course will allow the user to become familiar with the ESP system and when it should be used. All components will be described in detail.
