This advanced technical training course is designed for Artificial Lift and Petroleum Engineering professionals responsible for working with or managing ESP (Electric Submersible Pump) systems.
Effective ESP trend analysis and optimization are crucial for achieving longer run life, maximizing production, and reducing lifting costs per barrel of oil. Indicators such as rising pump intake pressures, elevated motor temperatures, and erratic motor currents often signal an ESP system in distress and in need of optimization.
By mastering trend analysis and remote intervention, you can prevent costly shutdowns and minimize production losses due to downtime while waiting for on-site technicians. Additionally, high gas-liquid ratios frequently challenge ESP systems. Operating modes like PID and gas lock recovery can address these challenges effectively—but only when properly configured.
- Learning Level: Intermediate-Advanced
