The First Deepwater Installation of a Subsea ESP: RJS-477A, Campos Basin, Brazil

Abstract: In October /1994 PETROBRAS, leading a team of six companies (Reda, Lasalle, Tronic, Pirelli , Cameron, Sade-Vigesa ) has installed for the first time in the world an Electrical Submersible Pump in a subsea well . The subsea ESP system in the well RJS-221, located in 86 meters water depth, in the Carapeba oilfield, completed two years and ten months in operation without failures.

“…For a long time, production from subsea wells has been carried out by natural lift or by using artificial lifting methods such as gas-lift or water injection in the reservoir, which is not efficient due to the unfavorable mobility difference between oil and water phases (Pinto et al 2003). However, these methods present low efficiency and they are not always feasible (Mendonça et al 2008). The Brazilian Oil Company-Petrobras-discovered very important deep-water oil reservoirs in the 80′s.…”

“…The well was located in a shallow waters region of the Campos Basin and it operated over almost 3 years until its first failure. Four years later, in 1998, the success of this prototype stimulated the company to proceed with the world's first ESP installation in the deep waters of the Campos Basin (Mendonça et al 2008). Petrobras is also responsible for the largest subsea ESP project in the world, counting with 15 installed ESPs in the Jubarte field (Harris et al 2012).…”
