Heavy oil ESP
In several heavy oil fields ESPs are the best choice for AL systems, facilitating high production rates. However, the fluid properties are demanding a lot of the sensitive ESP systems. A prudent ESP design is also here the fundament of successful AL operations.
How we can support you:
Our team has extensive knowledge in ESP applications for heavy oil fields (up to 1000 cP dry viscosity). In some fields it may be necessary to execute detailed test programs in special ESP pump test stands, to fully reflect the impact of your oil on the pump stages. Of course we are ready to support you with preparation, execution and analysis of these pump tests. With the knowledge about the derating of the system due to viscosity, we can adapt the ESP design, making it fit for purpose in your heavy oil field.
