TROUBLE SHOOTING

--in trouble shooting any malfunctioning ESP, following data


will be very helpful in analysing the problem and thus avoid
costly workover jobs
• rate of oil production
• water cut
• run life of ESP unit
• dynamic and static fluid loads
• GOR/GLR
• pump setting depth
• sand cut/ corrosive fluid etc.
• how many times ESP has been serviced and for what reasons
• Reservoir pressure/Reservoir drive mechanism/ rate of
fall of static pressure
• bottom hole temperature
TROUBLE SHOOTING(CONTD)
-- recording ammeter, which continuously records the current
drawn by the pump,is also a very useful tool in analyzing the
problem of a faulty/underperforming ESP.
--many problems like, electrical supply fluctuation,gas locking,
fluid pump-off conditions,false starts,underload/overload
conditions can be diagnosed from the recorded ammeter charts.

STEP - 1 : SIZE OF PUMP

From the catalogue of ESP manufacturer the best suited


pump primarily with respect to its OD and capacity is to be
selected. Let the available ESP is of REDA make.

Since casing size is 5 1/2", at the first instance, 400/450


series REDA pump/protector as applicable in 5 1/2", is
considered (Reference : REDA catalogue). Now, maximum
OD of Reda pump set with cable, cable guard and cable
clamp in position is required to be checked with 5 1/2" ; 20
ppf casing (that is minimum ID of casing).
STEP - 1 : SIZE OF PUMP
i) OD of 450 series protector = 114.3 mm
ii) Thickness of Armoured cable of = 12.3 mm
6 AWG of parallel shape
iii) Thickness of cable guard and cable = 2.0 mm (approx..)
clamp
Total = Max. OD of REDA Pump = 128.6 mm
(400 / 450 series)
I.D of 5 1/2" , 20 ppf casing = 121.4 mm
Drift diameter of 5 1/2", 20 ppf casing = 118.2 mm
Since drift diameter of 5 1/2", 20 ppf casing is less than Max.
O.D of Reda pump, it is required to find out pump of one size
lower.
STEP - 1 : SIZE OF PUMP
the next lower size is of 338/325 series pump / protector as
applicable in 4 1/2" casing.
i) OD 338/325 series pump / protector = 85.85 mm
ii) Thickness off Armoured cable = 12.30 mm
(6 AWG, parallel)
iii)Thickness of cable guard and cable = 2.00 mm
clamp
Total = Max. OD of 338/325 series = 100.15 mm
Pump / protector
Therefore, clearance between minimum casing I.D. and max.
pump O.D.
= (118.20 - 100.15) x 1/2
= 18.05 x 1/2 = 9.0 mm
From Reda catalogue, the compatible pump / protector set of
338/325 series is selected which is to be coupled with 375
series motor OD = 3.75 inch = 95.25 mm).
STEP - 2 : STATIC AND DYNAMIC LEVEL

Considering the datum level at 2500 Mts., and with specific


gravity of water as 1.05, the fluid level at static condition =
2050 x 1/1.05 = 1952 Mts.. So, static fluid level from the
surface = 2500 - 1952 = 548 Mts..

The fluid level at flowing condition (that is, dynamic


condition) = 1800 x 1/10.5 = 1715 Mts..

Therefore, dynamic level from the surface


= 2500 - 1715 = 785 Mts..
STEP - 3 : LOCATION OF PUMP DEPTH

The pump has to be located below the dynamic. Also, to


minimise the interference of free gas, the pump, if possible,
can be located in deeper depth.

i) Dynamic level from surface = 785 Mts..


ii) Bubble point pressure of 80 kg/cm2,
Which is equivalent to = 762 Mts..

Total = 1547 Mts..


1600
Location of Pump = from surface
Mts..
STEP - 4 : FLUID VOLUME IN THE PUMP (Q)

Q = 35 m3/d x Bo = 35 x 1.15
= 40 M3/d

STEP - 5 : PUMP SELECTION

A 400 pump is selected form performance curve as supplied


by the manufacturer for 50 Hz supply and 338 series pump,
here the desired fluid production rate of 40 m3/d lies in the
recommended range for operating the pump on the
accepted efficiency level.
STEP - 6 : PUMP STAGES CALCULATION

From the performance curve, 100 stage develop 400 Mts. of head.
 1 stage develop 400/100 = 4 Mts. of head.
Now, TOTAL Head required, that is, total dynamic head (TDH) will
be,
TDH = Dynamic level from surface + fluid friction in the
tubing + Tubing head Pressure.
= 785 Mts. + negligible + 70 Mts..
= 855 Mts. 855 Mts.
Total stages of pump required = ------------------ = 214 stags.
4 Mts. / stags
From the catalogue of the manufacturer, the number of stages and
housings have been selected, so that total stags of pump is slightly
more or equal to 214 stags.
2 numbers of housings each having 81 stags and 1 number having
60 stages have been selected.
So, total stags = (2 x 81) + 60) = 162 + 60 = 222 stages
STEP - 7 : MOTOR HORSEPOWER REQUIREMENT

From performance curve, max. H.P. = 6.0 H.P. / 100 stages

The nearest whole number = 6.0 H.P./100 stages

= 0.06 H.P. / stages

So, Total H.P. requirement = H.P. /stages x Number

of Stage x specific

gravity of water

= 0.06 x 222 x 1.05

= 13.98 H.P.
ESP DESIGN

STEP - 7 : MOTOR HORSEPOWER REQUIREMENT


From catalogue, 375 series motor has to be selected,
which has H.P. either equal to this valve or next higher
valve.
H.P. Motor selected = 16.3 H.P.
It is always advisable to choose a motor with low amperage
rating, provided its voltage rating is not very excessive. So,
from two categories of 16.3 H.P., 50 Hertz motors,
That is from, 16.3 HP; 238 V ; 38 A; 50 Hertz
and 16.3 HP; 323 V; 25 A ; 50 Hertz
the motor of 16.3 H.P.; 323 V; 25 A; 50 Hertz is selected.
ESP DESIGN

STEP - 8 : MAIN CABLE SELECTION

From manufacturers catalogue "Redelene" type (can work

up to 2050 F, where B.H.T. is 1580F) flat cable and 4 AWG

(considering cost and voltage drop factor) has been

considered.
ESP DESIGN

STEP - 9 : SURFACE VOLTAGE CALCULATION


From cable voltage chart, supplied by the manufacturer,
Voltage drop = 11 volt / 1000 ft.
Total cable length = Subsurface cable length +
Surface cable length
= 1600 Mts.. + 100 Mts.. (say)
Total cable length = 1700 Mts.. = 5576 ft
= 5600 ft
So, the total voltage drop = 11V/1000ft x 5600 ft.
= 61.6 v
Voltage required at the surface = name plate voltage +
Total Voltage drop = 323 + 61.6
= 384.6 V
------------------
= 385 V
