Delegates will be encouraged to participate actively in relating their particular protection requirements at their workplace.
There will be adequate time given for group discussion during and at the end of each session, including detailed case studies and anecdotes on based on the subject matter and the facilitator’s own experience in the field.
TRAINING SUMMARY
This Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPs) training course covers a comprehensive range of topics relating to Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPs), which are used in 60% of global oil production. Several disciplines are covered in this programme – Petroleum, Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, Control and Instrumentation, and as such it considers ESP installations as systems.
The selection of equipment, how it is installed, operated and maintained are all covered, with a particular emphasis on electrical, control and instrumentation as that is where a significant part of successful ESP operation resides.
