This course intends to show attendants the basics of ESP, how the different components can be sized and selected with simple tools that include a scientific calculator and a few graphs. 

We believe that going to the basics gives engineers the opportunity to understand the rationales behind the existing software tools, and will help them learn about the physical mechanisms that govern the performance of the pumps and their failure mechanisms.The course also includes the basic elements of applying Risk Analysis tools to selecting and sizing ESP, providing the attendants with the knowledge and rationale behind the uncertain scenarios that they face when estimating ESP systems, and how to use that uncertainties to generate and evaluate real options on selecting the equipment that would add the most value to their business unit. 

Production Engineers, Supervisors, and those in charge of fields where ESP are used as an Artificial Lift Method, After the course attendants will be able to:  

1. Calculate the parameters for the selection of an ESP system using a simple, scientific calculator, and a few graphs 
2.  Analyze the variables that affect the performance of an ESP 
3. Select the ESP and the components for your application 
4. Analyze the uncertainty surrounding the selection of an ESP and learn to use Risk Analysis tools to choose the equipment configuration with the highest expected value 
5. Establish effective ESP monitoring and operation policies 
6. Understand how to develop Real Options scenarios for your ESP systems, and understand the basics for evaluating them 

Production Engineers, Supervisors, and those in charge of fields where ESP are used as an Artificial Lift Method
