Ideal for removing large amounts of liquids from wells, Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP) are perhaps the most versatile and profitable pieces of equipment in a petroleum company's arsenal. However, if not properly maintained and operated, they could quickly become an expensive nightmare. The first book devoted to the design, operation, maintenance, and care, Electrical Submersible Pumps Manual delivers the tools and applicable knowledge needed to optimize ESP performance while maximizing of run life and the optimization of production.
The prefect companion for new engineers who need to develop and apply their skills more efficiently or experienced engineers who wish further develop their knowledge of best practice techniques, this manual covers basic electrical engineering, hydraulics and systems analysis before addressing pump components such as centrifugal pumps, motors, seals, separators, and cables. In addition, the author includes comprehensive sections on analysis and optimization, monitoring and trouble-shooting, and installation design and installation under special conditions.
* Apply the best operating practices to optimise production.
* Track and troubleshoot problems such as gas, solids and corrosion.
*Prevent expensive failures such as cable burn and impeller cavitation .
* Design and analyze a system using up-to-date computer programs.
* Establish ESP analysis monitoring methods and strategies.
* Ensure optimum operator-vendor relationship for mutual benefits.

SAMPLE OF CUSTOMER REVIEW –
1) Worth the price - I am a mechanical engineer working in the oil and gas industry. For the last 4 years I have been looking for a book like this.
This is a true practical guide on how to design, troubleshoot and maintain an ESP for the oil and gas industry.
