Opis

Effective and reliable when used, electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) can be expensive to purchase and maintain so selecting the correct pump and operating them properly are essential for consistent flow from production wells yet there is not a dedicated go-to reference to train personnel and engineers. Electrical Submersible Pumps, Second Edition, continues to deliver the information needed with updated developments, technology, and operational case studies. New content on gas handlers, permanent magnet motors, and new designed stage geometries are all included. Flowing from basic to intermediate and then on to special applications, particularly for harsh environments, this reference also includes workshop materials and class-style examples for trainers to utilize for the newly hired production engineer. Other updates include novel pump stage designs, high-performance motors, and temperature problems and solutions specific for high temperature wells. Electrical Submersible Pumps, Second Edition, consistently keeps engineers and managers involved in ESPs knowledgeable and up to date on this advantageous equipment utilized for the oil and gas industry.

• Updated to include new classroom examples for training, more operational information including production control, and a rewritten section on failures and troubleshooting
• Covers latest equipment, developments, and maintenance needed, useful daily for either the practicing engineer or newly hired
• Understand basic electrical, hydraulics, and motors as well as more advanced equipment specific to special conditions such as production of deviated and high temperature wells
