In 1989 water injection rates were increased in the North Cowden field. Lift revisions greater than 700 barrels per day required an ESP installation because of the capacity limitations of the existing beam equipment. The extended beam unit was designed to increase production rates to 900 barrels per day. The first unit was installed in July of 1993. Currently there are six units in service. This paper will discuss the evolution of the design and the learning process over the last three years.
