Electric Submersible Pump DIFA

Disciplines: Production and Operations

Course Description

This technical training course is intended for Artificial Lift and Petroleum Engineering professionals currently working with or managing ESPs.

The teardown (or dismantle) of the ESP is the final phase of an ESP’s operation, but one that can give the most information on how the ESP performed during its life. Additionally, and more importantly, the teardown and subsequent analysis can tell you why it failed. This key step is not simply taking each component apart – the ESP must be disassembled in a particular order, carefully inspecting for specific failure modes at each step, and, that order may vary with conditions and circumstances.

The goal of the training is to give the attendee a fresh perspective on the DIFA process going above and beyond the stipulations of API RP 11S1.
