    ESP Reliability Theory and Failure Analysis

    Tuesday, 21 April 2015 - 8:00AM to 5:00PM


    INSTRUCTOR: Francisco Trevisan and Paul Skoczylas

    COURSE DESCRIPTION
    This one-day course will provide an overview on the Industry best practices on ESP failure classification, data
    collection, and data analysis, based on the efforts being made by the ESP Reliability Information and Failure
    Tracking System (ESP-RIFTS) Joint Industry Project (JIP). The objectives of this course is to: Review the Failure
    Nomenclature Standards for collecting and tracking ESP failure information; Learn to use the Failure
    Nomenclature Standards using common ESP failures; Review reliability theory and common run-life measures;
    Present how to assess production system reliability based on different measures, using examples from existing
    applications; and Review ESP reliability data collection and analysis best practices.

    COURSE OUTLINE

    1. ESP Failure and Nomenclature


    In order to properly collect ESP run-life information it is important to define if the ESP system has failed
    after the well stopped production. This section will assist with this by introducing the definition of failure, the
    ESP system boundary and its primary functions, and how to classify an ESP failure based to the ESP-RIFTS
    standards and practices, after a tear-down and failure investigation has been conducted.

    2. Basic Reliability Theory and Run-Life Measures


    This section will provide an overview on the Reliability Theory by introduction of the Survival Curve, the
    different theoretical equations used to fit ESP run-life data and how to identify infant or old age mortality.
    This section will also provide the definition of the most commonly used reliability and run-life measures (e.g.
    Mean Time to Failure, Average Runtime, Mean Time to Pull, Failure Rate), how to calculate them, how they
    can be interpreted, their advantages and pitfalls.

    3. Best Practices for Data Collection and Analysis


    This section will provide an overview of the lessons learned within the ESP-RIFTS JIP as far as data
    collection and analysis over the past 16 years. The intention of this section is to provide a practical overview
    on how to apply the ESP failure nomenclature to the attendee’s work flow and how to interpret the reliability
    and run-life measures when analyzing the collected data.

    About the instructors

    Francisco Trevisan has an MSc degree in Petroleum Engineering from UNICAMP, Brazil, where he conducted research on heavy oil multiphase flow.
    Francisco worked for Petrobras in Brazil for almost two years as a production engineer and, most recently, he obtained this PhD degree from the
    University of Tulsa, studying the effect of viscosity in two-phase flow through Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs). Currently, Francisco is a Senior
    Researcher at C-FER Technologies and for the past three years has been the Project Manager for the ESP Reliability Information and Failure Tracking
    System (ESP-RIFTS) Joint Industry Project (JIP).

    Paul Skoczylas has BSc and MSc degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alberta. He has worked at C-FER Technologies for 19
    years, working on a variety of projects in the areas of artificial lift, fluid flow, and heat transfer. He was the Project Manager of the PCP Run Life
    Improvement project (similar to the ESP-RIFTS project but for PCPs) for a period of time. He is currently the manager of C-FER’s Engineering Services
    Department, in which role he oversees both the ESP-RIFTS and PCP-RLI Joint Industry Projects.
