(2017-12-04)Data are available for a previously tested annular seal with no swirl brakes (NSB). The NSB seal design was modified by adding slots at the inlet to produce a swirl brake (SB) seal. Tests were conducted to evaluate the ...
-
(2017-05-03)Computational fluid dynamics analysis (CFD) has been employed to study the flow behavior, and dependency of pump efficiency and head on the operating conditions of the pump and fluids pumped. Commercially available ANSYS ...
-
(2012-08-16)The MVP is a special type of Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs) manufactured by Baker Hughes, model no. G470, and is capable of handling multiphase flow up to 70% Gas Volume Fraction (GVF). Flows at high GVF cause ...
-
(2017-01-04)There is a necessity to use artificial lift when the natural drive of oil is not strong enough to push the oil from the well bottom to the surface. Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) systems have been used far and wide by ...
-
(2016-08-02)Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) is a multi-stage centrifugal pump used in the petroleum industry. Due to the high efficiency and adaptivity, ESPs are widely employed in offshore oil wells. Viscous fluid pumping can result ...
-
(2015-08-19)The ever increasing global oil demand has forced the energy industry to provide artificial stimulation to many oil wells to increase their productivity. A common way to do this is to install an electric submersible pump ...
-
(2019-04-15)Electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) are artificial lift devices widely used in the oil and gas industry to increase production. For unconventional wells, which includes subsea applications, installation cost is an order ...
-
(2012-08-15)The increasing world demand for oil has pushed oil companies to extract it from the ocean at extreme depths. With the increase in depth comes an increase in operation costs, especially the deep-sea equipment changeover ...
-
(2014-08-06)The goal of this research is to better understand upstream Oil & Gas Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) reliability issues. The objective of this research is to determine how Liquid-Gas-Particulate (LGP) turbine pump wear ...
-
(2016-12-02)Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPs) are a subgroup of pumps designed to have small diameters to accommodate tight working environments. The long length of an ESP (5-100 stages) requires a large amount of annular seals. Each ...
-
(2017-10-26)Circumferential grooves are often machined into annular seals to reduce leakage rates (???). For this study, a circumferentially-grooved annular seal (CGS) was tested with three different viscosity (?) test fluids. In ...
-
(2016-04-07)The Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) is used in the oil wells where the reservoir pressure is insufficient to push the fluid to the surface. Conventional ESP consists of a series of centrifugal pumps. However, the improvement ...
-
(2017-07-20)Electrical Submersible Pumping (ESP) has been developed to be an indispensable artificial lifting method in industry due to its high productivity. However, the reliability of an ESP system is a disadvantage when being ...
-
(2014-01-13)Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) has been recognized as an excellent artificial lifting method in industry due to its high liquid flow rate in both onshore and offshore applications. As oil exploration goes deep into ...
-
(2022-12-13)Based on field data and lab test results, interstage seal wear in electric submersible pumps used in oil production is a major cause for system failures. Due to their unique wear resistance, tungsten carbide (WC) seals are ...
