Paper: ESPs On And Offshore Problems And Solutions

This is the fifth in a series of papers, which deal with literature on Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) application problems and solutions. All the papers summarize and categorize ESP reference literature by a number of different topics. The objective is to list briefly problems mentioned in various papers and the solutions to those problems, which are detailed in the given references. Originally, there was also an attempt to relate problems to various field conditions, but that effort was dropped because of a general lack of enough application data to accomplish this. Nevertheless, it is hoped that this paper and the previous versions will provide a good reference set for anyone wanting to improve on the performance and success of their ESP applications. All of the previous papers are referenced below.
