One of the motor types that is recently considered to be a candidate for electric submersible pumps (ESPs) is the flux switching motor. Therefore, it becomes crucial to verify that this type of motor can stand ESP conditions. The main subject of this paper is to investigate the start-up condition of ESP along with considering the long power supply cable to study the motor performance, where the real aspect of the ESP conditions is investigated. Since there is not any model of pump load that models the dynamic behavior of ESP correctly, first, a model for the pump is developed. Then the flux switching motor model is modified to apply the long cable to the model. The model is simulated and the results are presented. The main advantages of this paper are modeling the height change of fluid, pump efficiency, and pump load torque during the time (from start to steady state when the flow rate of fluid outcome from the well is stable), and considering the long cable. In addition, the flux switching motor model is validated by a built prototype motor.

“…The electric motor has an important role in the ESP system. Three-phase and two-pole squirrel-cage induction motors (IMs) have been used in ESP systems as a traditional and only choice for many years [8,9]. Other motor types were not appropriate for working under harsh conditions of ESPs, especially at high temperature.…”

“…O critério de seleção das tecnologias de bombeamento para aplicação subsea no segmento offshore da indústria do petróleo permanece, de certo modo, ainda relativo, pois depende dos dados de performance dos conceitos oferecidos pelas empresas fornecedoras, que podem ser manipulados para dar preferência a um conceito tecnológico em detrimento a outro (ROMERO;HUPP, 2013). O uso dos métodos de bombeio submarino aplicados no offshore tem se tornado uma opção mais comum na produção de petróleo de baixo API 1 , pois apresentam melhor eficiência operacional e maior taxa de produtividade nas mesmas condições de aplicação em comparação a outros métodos de levantamento artificial.…”

RESUMOEste artigo explora as redes de cooperação de pesquisas tecnológicas para o desenvolvimento de novos conhecimentos sobre tecnologias emergentes no setor de petróleo e gás natural offshore. O principal desafio de nossa investigação é identificar as organizações que lideram a produção de novos conhecimentos sobre bombeio submarino, em sua fase pré-competitiva. Para superá-lo, identificamos artigos e trabalhos em anais de congresso que tratavam do bombeio submarino aplicado à situação específica da indústria do petróleo offshore numa base de dados e analisamos as informações através de uma perspectiva bibliométrica. Desse modo, foi possível construir indicadores que desenham a evolução tecnológica e o padrão de cooperação das organizações associadas ao bombeio submarino. Apoiamo-nos na literatura que trata de redes de inovação e da análise quantitativa em ciência e tecnologia para elaborar as análises bibliométricas realizadas. Por sua vez, a literatura técnica dos conceitos tecnológicos de bombas submarinas é consultada para fins de comparação técnico-econômica. Por tratar-se de pesquisa ainda em curso, o texto apresenta carácter mais indicativo do que conclusivo.Palavras-chave: Inovação tecnológica. Indústria do petróleo. Redes de Inovação. Alianças de P&D.

The main challenge of our research is to identify the organizations spearheading the production of new knowledges on subsea pumping in its pre-competitive stage. To overcome it, we identify articles and papers in conferece proceedings dealing subsea pumping applied to the specific situation of the offshore oil and gas industry in a database. Then, we analyze the data through a bibliometric approach. In this way it was possible to build indicators that draw the evolution of this technologies and the pattern of cooperation among organizations associated to subsea pumping. We use the literature on networks of innovation and quantitative analysis in science and technology to develop the bibliometric analyzes. Furthermore, the technical literature on performance of technological concepts of subsea pumps is consulted for the purpose of technic-economic evaluation. This paper deals an ongoing research, so the final remarks are more indicative than conclusive.

“…The pump and motor are located in the well, and the motor drives the pump to rotate to generate centrifugal force lifting the water or oil in the well to the ground. It is widely used in farmland irrigation and oil exploitation [1,2]. Due to the special working environment, ESP has high requirements for pump structure, performance, and stability.…”

The end clearance of the impeller is one of the most important structural parameters in the hydraulic design of a high-speed electrical submersible pump (ESP). In this paper, an ESP with a rotating speed of 6000 r/min was taken as the research object. Numerical calculations were carried out for five different end clearance conditions of 0.1 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.9 mm, and 1.2 mm, respectively, to obtain the performance and internal flow field under different situation. The simulation results were verified by the pump performance experiment. It showed that the increase of the end clearance led to a decrease of the head and efficiency of the electrical submersible pump. Through the analysis of the internal flow field, it was found that the existence of the end clearance reduced the flow rate and caused free pre-whirl. With the increase of the end clearance, the phenomenon of de-flow in the diffuser passage was aggravated, which further reduced the performance of the electrical submersible pump. Finally, the reasonable recommended value of the end clearance was given, which facilitated the optimization design and engineering application of the high-speed ESP.
