Background
Unexpected ESP shutdowns in a SAGD well prompted a search for performance improvement. Analysis determined that the SAGD process delivered multiphase production (oil and steam) to the ESP system, destabilizing the system and impairing performance.
Products Used
S4000N
Advanced mixed-flow ESP pump

Improve efficiency for production rates from 1,000 to 6,000 bbl/d at 60 Hz for casing sizes 7 in and larger.
