Add to Cart
Course Credit: 0.4 CEU, 4.0 PDH

ESP cables are critical for power delivery and among the most common points of system failure. This course explores how to design and select cable systems that resist corrosion, thermal stress, and mechanical damage during installation and production.

Participants will review cable anatomy, insulation ratings, armoring, and connection systems, along with common failure patterns observed in the field. The session emphasizes preventative strategies and reliable configuration techniques.

Duration: 4 hours

What you will learn:

  • Electrical and mechanical aspects of ESP cable design
  • Cable sizing, insulation classes, and armor types
  • Causes of cable failure during deployment or operation
  • Field-proven handling and installation practices

Pre-requisites: Prior experience with ESP systems or general cable concerns in an oil well is beneficial.

Expiration: This course expires 12 months from date of registration.
