ESP Diagnostic Diagram


One of my clients brought this diagram to my attention recently. The paper, by Petroleum Development Oman and Engineering Insight Ltd of Aberdeen, was very useful and included an especially useful diagram, but the diagram was not so easy to read or print in a larger size. I tried to improve the image so that it would be even more helpful. All credit goes to the authors and their paper IPTC 17413 2014, available on SPE's PetroOne.
Here is a link to the full size diagram.
To use the diagram, consider that something such as a blockage of in pump intake and increase in free gas might only differ slightly, such as in terms of motor temperature and possibly the behavior of the ammeter. Focus on these areas in troubleshooting may help diagnose the problem.
