Example ESP Design
 L   ν2 
Pipe Friction at the planned rate:- Δpf =  f  ρf     
 d   2g 

f = 0.03

 7000   3.28 

ΔPf   0.03 0.433     81psi
 0.188   2.32.173 

Total pressure required above pump ΔPd =Pm +ΔPf +ΔPHH


gPd = 50 + 81 + (0.433 psi/ft) (7000 ft) = 3162 psi
PIn = PR - Q/PI
Flowing Bottom Hole Pressure:-
= 1700 - 1400/2 = 1000psi
Example ESP Design
Example ESP Design

• Head per stage at 1400 b/d is 58 ft


Example ESP Design

• Head per stage at 1400 b/d is 58 ft


• Power per stage at 1400 b/d is 0.52 BHP
Example ESP Design
Number of pump stages (N) required & motor power @ 2,915 rpm

Pd -PIn  psi   3162-1000


N= = = 86stages
H  ft  *0.433  psi/ft  58*0.433

• HHP = 86 (stages)*0.52 (BHP/stage)*(gf) = 45 HHP


{no correction for fluid density (gf) is required}
• The pump electric motor may now be chosen.
• Allow for power loses in the motor & oversize to
increase run life
• Choosing a pump speed other than 2,915 rpm
introduces extra complications
Pump rate of an ESP is proportional to the speed
