Collaboration leads to improved ESP systems for the Forties Field. The electric submersible pump (ESP), a tried-and-true workhorse of artificial lift systems, has a long track record for improving production and recovery rates in oil fields worldwide. As the industry has moved into more challenging frontiers and pushed to boost production from brownfields, ESP technology has evolved with the development of increasingly robust mixed-flow systems that can handle varied flow rates and provide expanded operating ranges for a wide variety of hydro-carbon environments.
