INCREASED RELIABILITY OF ELECTRIC CENTRIFUGAL PUMPING UNITS

Abstract

Electric submersible pumping units are used for production in high-yield oil wells. Since existing pumping units come in different types depending on the complexity of the design and well conditions, a clear and responsible decision must be made in terms of reliability. In the article, in connection with the widespread use of electric submersible pumping units at oil fields, the methods of solving the issue of ensuring the performance of the equipment, namely, achieving reliability and control of technical condition in the conditions of its operation are considered. In relation to regional oilfields the well efficiency indicators were determined and a comparative analysis is presented. The analysis allows to study the problems of failures of wells equipped with submersible pumps with low service life. The aim of the study is to improve the reliability of the electric centrifugal pump during operation.
