01. Lesson 1.01: Introduction & Objectives

Hello, my name is Francisco Trevisan and we'll talk about ESP basics today.

02. Objective

Just a preface that if you're here for extra sensorial perception subject, you'll be thoroughly disappointed as we'll be talking about electric submersible pumps. The idea is to introduce the discipline of artificial lift and more specifically, the ESP technology. Ideally, you'll leave this course with a better understanding of its components, its history, its application design, and troubleshooting to lead more meaningful conversations with manufacturers and field personnel. Ideally, helping lead the successful deployment of this equipment into your field and into your projects.

03. Course Outline

So my idea for this course was to present the technology from an overview, from the top, and then narrow down a little bit into the details about the equipment, fundamentals, design basics. Then we'll go into troubleshooting. And then at the end we'll zoom out again and see what are the considerations you need to make when applying this technology to the field. Again, zooming out and giving a better, overview of what the technology involves.

04. Background – Dr. Francisco E. Trevisan

Before we start a little bit about my background, I'm, I have a masters in petroleum engineering. From which company? In Brazil. After that, I worked for two years at Petrobras as a production engineer. I left Petrobras to pursue my PhD in artificial lift at the University of Tulsa. After that, I left Tulsa to work at Cipher Technologies up in Edmonton, Canada, where I was a senior research engineer conducting applied research, on artificial lift and became a subject matter expert on ESP reliability. After that, I worked a year and a half as an application engineer, mainly as a subject matter expert on ESPs for cognitive systems. And since then, I've been working as an independent consultant on the areas of artificial lift and multiphase flow.
Well, without further ado, let's continue our journey here into the ESPs, and I'll see you in the next section.
