RUN TIME - RELIABILITY
We all know that the consequences of pull costs are severe, - workover expense and lost production make it top priority to understand a particular pump's history in similar downhole environments.
Ever asked an ESP vendor what kind of runtime to expect for the pump you are considering purchasing to run downhole? You're probably looking to evaluate one vendor versus another vendor, and want some sort of apples to apples comparison, right?
Perhaps you're considering a performance based contract, or alliance agreement with an ESP vendor and looking to verify and compare their runtime assurances?
Problem with this approach is - who's auditing the vendors? And is this auditor an independent third party, or would it surprise you if the vendor uses its own selected data without an independent audit? What kind of questions should you be asking to help assure you of fair and unbiased reports and evaluations?
Here are the type of questions to ask ESP vendors that can go a long way to get the information you need to help you reach your production & runtime targets:
• Is your system runlife data audited by an independent third party? Or is this information that you determine yourself???
• Do you exclude short runs(for example- anything under 45 days, etc is not counted) from your basis & database, when determining runlife?
• Is your company wide overall runlife trending up, down or flat? What about for each individual pump, motor, & seal that I am considering purchasing?
