DE0160 : ESP Application Engineering

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of ESP application engineering.  It covers the artificial lift principles; the various artificial lift methods used in the petroleum industry; the electrical submersible pumps (ESP) advantages and other artificial lift methods; selecting the correct artificial lift system; the importance of well productivity to pump performance; the wellbore, reservoir and performance of artificial lift; the ESP systems, operations, head generation, impeller types and its characteristics; the ESP components; and the equipment and accessories that make up the ESP system. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the basic sizing principles for ESP artificial lift design and diagnosis; the ESP design procedure and sensitivity analysis; the steps to correctly size an electrical submersible pump; the concept of variable speed controllers; the process of pumping high GOR wells and viscous fluid; the economic analysis principles for project evaluation; the effects of artificial lift and ESP on project economics; the method of prediction, analysis and diagnosis of ESP performance application; the gas handling theory and practice; and the ESP technology, systems in combination with Smart wells, the effect of sand, blocking at intake and sand handling.
