ESP Failure Analysis

The Russian Federation currently produces nearly 10 million BOPD, with the majority of this production provided by Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPs). With efforts now underway by operators and manufacturers to increase meantime between failures (MTBF) across the country, the determination of “true” root-cause failures and the ability to use this information to reduce chronic, sporadic, and short-term failures has never been more important.

In recognition of the need for more standardized and systematic approaches to evaluate ESP failures and come up with solutions to lengthen run lives, the joint SPE sections in Russia (Volga, Moscow, Nizhnevartovsk, Sakhalin, Tomsk, and Western Siberia) are pleased to present a 3-day workshop on Root-Cause Failure Analysis. This program will provide Russian and Western methodologies for evaluating prefailure data, pulling observations, and tear down reports. To complement key lectures on the subject by industry experts, conducted in an interactive environment, case studies from around the world will be presented. Participants from around the world will also collectively participate in developing improved methodologies for evaluating root-cause failures based on their own experiences that will be documented and relayed to attendees after the program. The workshop will conclude with teams splitting into fi ve groups where students will work on individual case studies and present fi ndings using methodologies provided throughout the program.
