Experimental Study on Deteriorated Performance, Vibration, and Geometry Changes of an Electrical Submersible Pump Under Sand Water Flow Condition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the oil and gas industry, the proppant backflow from fracturing wells severely reduces the lifespan of widely used downhole electrical submersible pumps (ESPs). In field applications, a minimal sand concentration may ...
Experimental Study of Sand Wear and Performance Deterioration of Mixed-Type Electrical Submersible Pumps
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) are widely used in the oil and gas industry to provide external energy to producing wells when the natural drive of the reservoir is insufficient. However, ESPs are susceptible to the ...
