05 Thermal Applications / Operations

Wednesday, 27 August
Grand Ballroom - Level 2
Technical Session
As the demand for efficient artificial lift solutions in high-temperature environments continues to grow, Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP’s) for thermal applications are playing a crucial role in enhancing production. Operating ESPs in thermal conditions presents unique challenges, including extreme temperatures, fluid properties, and equipment longevity. Proper system design, material selection, and operational best practices are critical to ensuring reliability and performance in these demanding applications. This session will explore the advancements in ESP technology for thermal operations, best practices for deployment, and key considerations for optimizing performance in high-temperature reservoirs. Attendees will gain insights into the latest innovations and operational strategies to maximize ESP efficiency in thermal environments.
