INSTALASI ESP (ELECTRIC SUBMERSIBLE PUMP) SISTEM TANDEM PADA SUMUR MINYAK DENGAN VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE

Abstract

When the pressure of an oil well is not too large to do Natural Flow, Artificial Lift is one of the methods that can be used to replace it, artificial lift usually using ESP (Electric Submersible Pump). ESP oil pump in petroleum is equipped with VSD (Variable Speed Drive) component to adjust motor speed as softstarter and oil rate regulator and as pump motor protection. For ESP construction with a motor tandem system installed on wells with different characteristics and depths that are different from ESP single motors. However, submersible pumps are augmented by increasing the number of pump stages according to the depth of the well by coupling, submersible electric motors can be mechanically coupled and electrically on a spindle between upper motor and center motor.
