A general method for designing submersible electric pumping systems is presented. The technique is based on a mathematical model of the pumping system which includes mechanical, fluid dynamical and electrical simulations. Basic parameters which affect the design of a submersible electric system are discussed. To illustrate the technique, applications are made to high water cut (non-gassy) wells, high GOR (gassy) wells, variable frequency drives and tapered pumps.
