Advanced ESP Operation and
Troubleshooting

In over 90% of cases, artificial lift becomes necessary as reservoir energy wanes, either to maintain economic flow rates or to expedite early production for better financial returns. Electric Submersible Pumping (ESP) stands out as a highly versatile and flexible method for this purpose.

Over the span of 5 days, participants will delve into the fundamentals, components, operational features, and design aspects of ESP installations. They will gain expertise in handling ESP systems under various conditions, monitoring and troubleshooting failures, and optimizing operations. Specialised topics, including alternative ESP selection and deployments, will equip participants with advanced skills in ESP technology. This training course is tailored for professionals who aim to master ESP systems and enhance their careers, making it a prime choice for those seeking in-depth knowledge and practical experience in ESP operation and troubleshooting.
