The revolutionary Centrilift FLEXPump™ series
pumps incorporate innovative hydraulic design
concepts to expand the application range of
electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems.
These efficient, reliable pumps have the
industry’s widest operating range, providing
operators with the operational flexibility
required in dynamic well conditions to minimize
ESP system changeouts and nonproductive
time while at the same time reducing operating
expenses. The high-performance FLEXPump
series pumps are specifically designed to
maximize production and ultimate reserve
recovery from conventional oil fields, low-flow
rate mature oil fields, and unconventional pump components
resource plays in which the production index – Extends pump run life
declines rapidly. Enhanced ESP system efficiency
– Lowers OPEX
Expand the operational flexibility of your – Reduces power costs
ESP system
The FLEXPump series pump designs reduce
the total hydraulic thrust in both upthrust and
downthrust conditions, allowing the pumps
to operate efficiently and reliably in a wider
operating range.
The extended operating ranges of these pumps
mean the ESP system is adaptable to changing

well conditions as production rates change.

These pumps provide operational flexibility over
radial compression stages and deliver extensive
flow ranges from a minimal number of pump
models in the FLEXPump series. Flow rates
range from 50 to 10,500 B/D.

The FLEXPump line expands the application range

of ESP systems and Baker Hughes application
engineers choose the right FLEXPump series
pump for each well’s specific requirements,
focusing on what’s most critical to maximize the
return on investment from every well.
