Coatings of various materials are used to improve corrosion, abrasion and scaling resistance of ESP components. This paper will briefly discuss some of the coatings with a focus on Teflon and it's potential to increase run time. A specific application will be discussed in detail. A completely coated pump was run between uncoated pumps in a New Mexico well that produces significant solids. The well was pulled after a 224-day run and all pumps torn down and examined. This paper will review the findings of the tear down and implications for future Teflon coating applications and tests.
