Participants will understand the method to select a compatible artificial lift system for a well. They will learn the key parameters to review when selecting Electrical Submersible Pump at field development stage or when converting a well from Gas Lift to ESP. Centrifugal pumping and main components of ESP system will be presented.
Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP) is one of the most important artificial lift methods used in the oil and gas industry. This online course provides an in-depth introduction to ESP systems, covering the criteria for their selection at field development stage.
Designed for engineers, field operators, and industry professionals, the course drives its participants towards the selection process of an artificial lift system. It explores key considerations and economic evaluations for wells conversion from Gas Lift to ESP.
Participants will engage in case studies, exercises, and comparative analysis of artificial lift systems. Topics such as NPSH, cavitation, centrifugal pump, positive displacement pump, and ESP components will be discussed to build a solid foundation in ESP technology.
By the end of the course, learners will gain practical knowledge to make informed decisions regarding ESP applications in field development and production optimization.
