Paper: Installation Operation of Submergible Pumps

A Reda pump is essentially a multistage centrifugal pump, the shaft of which is directly connected through a protector section to a submergible electric motor. The entire assembly, as a unit, is of such outside diameter that it can be installed in wells completed with standard size casing. In operating position, the unit is suspended on tubing, submerged in the well fluid, with a cable from the surface supplying electricity to the motor. The installation may be for any depth since the unit is designed to function under any submergence pressures encountered.
