ESP Reliability; Data Collection and Analysis Course

Francisco Trevisan

This course provides an in-depth exploration into improving the reliability and run-life of Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) systems through structured data collection and analysis. Participants will learn to build and maintain comprehensive ESP installation databases, apply key reliability metrics like failure rate and Mean Time To Failure (MTTF), and interpret survival curve data using mathematical tools. The course highlights industry standards such as ESP-RIFTS and ISO, and trains attendees to create meaningful KPIs and dashboards in MS Excel for performance tracking and predictive maintenance. Designed for production professionals, it offers practical strategies to forecast failures, enhance uptime, and make informed decisions on ESP technologies. By applying these techniques, attendees can drive operational improvements and extend the longevity of ESP installations.Read more...
