This technical session explores the productivity enhancement that Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs) bring to offshore production, focusing on the operational challenges imposed by deepwater environments, complex fluids, and harsh conditions. It will examine performance optimization and reliability enhancement across the ESP lifecycle, from design and installation to monitoring and failure mitigation. The session also highlights recent technological innovations—such as advanced materials, digital surveillance, and system integration—that are redefining efficiency, extending run life, and enabling safer, more resilient offshore operations.
