ESP Technical Blog
Practical articles on ESP selection, run-life, coatings and failure prevention — for operators, reliability engineers and artificial-lift specialists.
A disciplined, repeatable workflow for matching an ESP to the well — from inflow performance and fluid properties to hydraulic sizing, motor and cable specification.
FundamentalsA plain-English introduction to ESP systems — what they are, the main components, and why they dominate high-volume artificial lift.
FundamentalsFrom surface power to downhole lift — how the motor, pump stages, seal and cable work together to move fluid up a well.
ReliabilityThe most common reasons ESP strings fail early — and a structured approach to root-cause analysis after a pull.
ReliabilityOverheating, insulation breakdown and mechanical wear are the leading killers of ESP motors. Here's how to spot and prevent them.
Selection & SizingElectric submersible pumps and progressing cavity pumps suit very different wells. A practical comparison to guide the choice.
Selection & SizingSucker-rod pumps and ESPs are the two workhorses of artificial lift. When does each make sense?
ApplicationsHigh-temperature wells push ESP components to their limits. What changes in design, materials and coatings to keep them running.
ApplicationsProduced sand erodes ESP stages fast. The component choices and coatings that extend run life in abrasive wells.
Installation & OperationsCable damage during run-in-hole is a leading cause of early ESP failure. A field guide to selecting and installing cable protectors correctly.
