About the course:
ESPs have advantages over some of the other artificial lift methods because they can generate a higher formation drawdown and achieve a higher rate. However, their performance is impacted by gas interference and formation sand production, both of which have to be addressed when setting ESPs in production wells. This course will familiarize the user with the ESP system and it’s optimum application. All components will be described in detail. The course uses computer software for numerous design and analysis class problems. Some films will be shown to illustrate installation, operation, and removal of failed equipment, new products, and best practices. Discussion is encouraged concerning experiences of successes and failures. Comparisons are made to other lift methods to help facilitate the optimum method selection.
