Electrical Submersible Pumping

• Second most commonly used method worldwide (+100,000 wells)

• Used massively in Russia and in significant number of wells in US

• Responsible for the highest amount of total fluids produced (oil and water) by
any artificial lift method and an ideal method for high water cut wells

• Problems with sand production, high gas liquid ratio and high bottom hole
temperatures

Introduction to ESP

The system’s surface equipment includes transformers, a switchboard, junction

box and surface power cables. Power passes through a cable running from the
transformer to the switchboard and junction box, then to the wellhead

The ESP downhole assembly is located in the well at the bottom of the tubing.
The motor, seal, intake and pump assembly, along with the power cable, goes in
the well as the tubing is run.

Below the pump is an intake that allows fluid to enter the pump. Below the intake
is a gas separator and a protector or seal, which equalizes internal and external
pressures and protects the motor from well fluids. At the bottom is a motor that
drives the pump. The assembly is positioned in the well above the perforations;
this allows fluid entering the intake to flow past the motor and cool it.

Introduction to ESP
Benefits of ESPs

They can be economically designed for both oil and water wells, at production
rates ranging from 200 to 60,000 B/D and at depths of .up to 15,000 feet.

They can be used in crooked or deviated wells. DLS < 9 degrees/100ft

They have a relatively small “surface footprint,” and so are appropriate for use in
offshore, urban or other confined locations. They are relatively simple to operate.

They generally provide low lifting costs for high fluid volumes.

They make it easy to apply corrosion and scale treatments.

Introduction to ESP
Limitations of ESPs

They are generally limited to single-zone completions

They requires a source of high-voltage electric power

The presence of a power cable alongside the tubing string can make it more
difficult to run or pull tubing.

They are not particularly good at handling gas and solids production.

Analyzing the system performance can be a challenge.

Power cables may deteriorate in high temperature conditions—400 degrees

Fahrenheit (about 200 degrees Celsius) is their general upper limit with respect
to operating temperature.

Subsurface ESP Components
Subsurface Components – Electric Cable

A power cable runs from the junction box then through the wellhead and all the
way to the bottom to supply power to the pump motor.

Cable is available in round and flat styles

Subsurface Components – Cable Amperage

The first consideration in selecting cables is amperage. The limits on amperage

for cables containing copper conductors are as follows:

Note that the cable with the smaller number has the larger diameter. Thus, a
Number 1 cable can carry a maximum of 115 amps.

Introduction to ESP
Subsurface Components – Voltage Drop

The second selection consideration is the voltage drop that will occur between
the wellhead and the pump. Normally, the maximum voltage drop for an
electrical cable is about 30V per 1000 feet.

Introduction to ESP
Subsurface Components – Gas Separator

Separates the free gas in order to reduce the quantity of gas that flows into the
pump.

There are two types: static and rotary gas separator.

Static: No applying any additional mechanical force. They provide a tortuous

path that turns the fluid stream and moves it down toward the inlet ports. Some
of the free gas accompanies the liquid to the intake and a portion is separated.

Dynamic gas separators, on the other hand, actually impart energy to the fluid
to separate the vapor from the fluid.

Subsurface Components – Check Valve

A check valve is installed about two to three

joints above the ESP pump to maintain a full
liquid column in the tubing string during
equipment shut down periods. It prevent leaking
of the fluid from the tubing down through the
pump when the pump is not running.

Surface ESP Components
Surface Components - Transformer

transformer system is used to step-up

or step-down the voltage from the
primary line to the motor of the
submersible pump. Because a range
of operating voltages may be used for
submersible pump motors, the
transformer must be compatible with
the selection of the motor voltage.

Surface ESP Components
Surface Components - Switchboard

The switchboard controls the pump motor

and provides overload and underload
protection.
Protection against overload is needed to
keep the motor windings from burning.
Protection during underload is needed
because low fluid flow rates will prevent
adequate cooling of the motor.

Surface Components – Junction Box/ vent Box

The junction box connects the power cable from the switchboard to the power
cable from the well. It provides an explosion-free vent to the atmosphere for
any gas that might migrate up the power cable from the wellbore.

Cable Suspended ESP:

• The unit is lowered in the well without using a tubing. It is

suspended from a cable and the power cable is banded to it.

• A special seating element supports the pump and

provides locking to avoid excessive torque on the cable.

• Differently from the conventional installations, the motor

is located above the pump.

• The system produces through the annular.

• It main advantage is the reduction in al costs associated

with tubing pulling job, specially offshore
