In our Pumps 101 article, we discussed what cavitation is and why it occurs, as well as ways to avoid it. This article will explain in greater detail what causes cavitation, how it can be detected and how it can be mitigated by utilizing the latest variable frequency drive (VFD) technology. Read more.
Electric submersible pumps are indispensable systems in the oil industry, efficiently lifting significant volumes of fluids from wellbores to the surface. Capable of operating at depths beyond 3,000 feet and with a pumping capacity of between 500 and 50,000 barrels per day, ESPs are engineered for performance and durability. Read on to learn how ESA can help ESPs run better and longer.
