Preface to Electrical Submersible Pumps Manual

Electrical submersible pumping is the one sort of synthetic lifting whose authentic time of invention is understood precisely and may be attributed to at least one man, Armais Arutunoff.

Arutunoff made his first experiments within the Baku oilfields close to the Caspian Sea within the late 1910s and was later the founding father of the corporate Russian Electrical Dynamo of Arutunoff, whose acronym REDA continues to be very well-known all around the world.

Arutunoff’s (who alone acquired about 90 patents associated to submersible gear) pioneering work began an trade that at this time lifts roughly 10% of the world’s crude oil manufacturing.

From their early days, ESP items have excelled in lifting a lot larger liquid charges than a lot of the different forms of synthetic raise and have discovered their finest use in high-rate on- and offshore functions.

Steady technological improvement over the past nearly 100 years has enormously modified the applying ranges for ESP gear.

Excessive gasoline manufacturing, rapidly altering liquid manufacturing charges, viscous crudes, and so forth, circumstances as soon as very detrimental to ESP operations are actually simply dealt with by present-day items.

All that is because of the indispensability of ESP gear within the petroleum trade not solely at this time but additionally within the foreseeable future.

I wrote this e-book with the wants of the petroleum engineering graduate scholar in thoughts and with

the target of masking all facets of up-to date theories and practices in ESP know-how.

Whereas engaged on the manuscript, I used components of it in industrial brief programs, and I at all times thought-about the suggestions from individuals when enhancing the fabric.

This fashion, I imagine, broadens the e-book’s audience and contains working towards engineers as effectively. All through the textual content, labored examples assist readers perceive primary ideas in addition to design and evaluation procedures.

This e-book, together with its two predecessors (Fashionable Sucker-rod Pumping, PennWell, 1993, and Gasoline Carry Manual, PennWell, 2005), concludes my protection of the three most essential synthetic raise strategies: sucker-rod pumping, gasoline lifting, and submersible pumping.

Since these are the very applied sciences used on the vast majority of artificially lifted oil wells, anybody learning these books may have available an entire and up-to-date information base encompassing the foremost synthetic raise applied sciences.

I sincerely hope that readers will admire the benefits of a uniform strategy and therapy of the totally different matters coming from a single writer.

My work on this challenge spanned a number of years, and I began writing the e-book whereas heading the Petroleum Engineering Division of the Miskolc College, Hungary.

Closing chapters, nevertheless, had been written in Abu Dhabi, the place, from August 2007 on, I assumed the place of performing Director of the Petroleum Engineering Program on the Petroleum Institute.

My honest thanks are because of the administration of each establishments for his or her steady assist.

Final however not least, the eternal persistence and understanding of my spouse Bea and a loving household are earnestly appreciated.
