- Learn about installing, maintaining and troubleshooting ESP systems
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This EuroMaTech training course is designed to provide a practical and detailed insight for personnel who are directly involved in the design, selection, installation, operation and maintenance of Electric Submersible Pumps. The training course will greatly benefit:
- Project, Design and Maintenance Professionals
- Petroleum, Chemical and Mechanical Engineers
- Electrical Engineers
- Field Operators and Technicians
- Maintenance Engineers and Personnel
TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The EuroMaTech training course will combine presentations with interactive practical exercises, supported by video materials, activities and case studies. 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.
