Production and Completions

Electrical Submersible Pumps

Electrical submersible pumps can deliver higher drawdown and rates than many other lift methods, but gas and sand production must be managed for them to perform well. This course explains every component of the system and uses software for design and analysis problems. It also covers power efficiency, handling of difficult fluids and performance monitoring with downhole sensors.
