Electrical Submersible Pumps

Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs)

Centrilift is the leader in proprietary technology for electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems, variable speed drives, and cabling for ESP systems. Patent after patent has demonstrated Centrilift's leadership in breaking new ground toward more efficient pumping systems. Centrilift engineers have designed a pumping system that optimizes volume, efficiency and durability. Above ground, a motor controller or variable speed drive provides automatic, manual or remote control for the system.

Advantages of ESPs for Deepwater Production

  • In wells with declining reservoir pressures ESPs lower abandonment pressure and increase volumetric rate versus gas lift systems.
  • Maturing offshore fields worldwide offer enormous potential to increase production, delay abandonment and increase ultimate reserves with ESP technology.
  • Subsea ESP technology offers cost effective solutions for marginal fields that are economically challenging using traditional production methods.
  • Patented riser lift and subsea ESP lift systems provide significant boost pressures that increase production while lowering costs compared to existing lift methods.
