Slim-Line ESP Pumps: Novomet
Novomet has once again pioneered the ESP industry with its release of new Slim-line ESP
systems in the 272 and 319 series. Novomet continues to lead the industry with innovative
technology designed to maximize production from wells: 4 in. and 4 1/2 in.
Applications:
Operation in wells with technical limitations due to:
Drift Diameter
After workover
Displacement of casings
Exploratory wells
Horizontal wells
Side tracks
Application with Y-tool for casings less than 5 3/4 in.
Multi-zone production
Benefits:
Increased production from wells with small ID, less than 3.9 in.
Increased production due to multi-zone operation
Production from wells when a slim ESP is a single solution – sidetrack wells
All are of «Power Save» design, having the best efficiency possible for such small diameters
Features:
vailable in two series: 272 and 319 (max OD including cable: 3.23 in. and 3.74 in.)
Asynchronous Motors cannot be used due to low efficiency and long length, Permanent
Magnets of the 319 series are used instead
Special connection between motor and protector
For gassy applications, multi-phase pumps of 272 series are available
Downhole sensor system from the 319 series
PowerSave™ ESP systems
Novomet has a strong focus on new and innovative technologies that provide our customers
with the best value and best in class ESP solutions. One of our most recent developments is our
«Power Save» technology, which enables customers to save up to 25% of the total ESP system
power consumption (compared with conventional ESP systems).
Background
With a conventional ESP design application, typically the overall system efficiency is approximately
39%, with losses totaling 61%
As detailed in the chart above, the major losses are with the pump and motor (29% and 13%
respectively). These figures are relatively consistent in the industry as the conventionalESP system
consists of a 3 phase, 2 pole, oil filled induction motor driving a multistage centrifugal pump (using
radial or mixed flow type stages).
Novomet has approached this design challenge with the following goals in mind:
1. mprove overall system power efficiency by 25%.
2. Long term reliability is the same (when compared to conventional ESP systems).
3. The «Power Save» system must include a Variable Speed Controller (VSC) option that is
compatible with asynchronous and permanent magnet motor.
4. The «Power Save» system should be available in standard ESP-type configurations to suit
“typical” well applications/requirements (eg 300/400/500 series equipment in 5-1/2"to 9-
5/8" casing).
5. Easy installation methodology (the same process as conventional ESP equipment).
6. Can be installed using existing well completion equipment, ESP power cable, MLE,
penetrators, etc.
7. On a “like for like” basis, the PMM motor is smaller/lighter than the conventional
asynchronous motor design
«Power Save» technology incorporates two important design factors that differentiatethe system
from conventional equipment. These are:
Permanent Magnet Motor (PMM)
High Efficiency Pump stage design using different geometry
«Power Save» incorporates a number of enhanced, fit-for-purpose parts and components, including:
Advanced stage geometry and upgraded materials for shaft, stages, and bearings.
Integration of high efficiency (94%) Novomet Permanent Magnet Motors (standard
asynchronous motor efficiency is 84%).
The rotor is equipped with permanent magnets with two ports where north and south interlace with
one another. Rotor magnets are made from rare-earth alloys.
To optimize efficiency and minimize stator losses, the stator laminations are made from Novomet
proprietary material. The stator is filled with a special, high temperature epoxy (rating @ 395 oF),
which significantly increases the insulation resistance (by 10 times).
