摘要:
An electrical submersible well pump assembly having a progressing cavity pump, a pump motor, a flex shaft connecting the pump motor to the pump, and a gas/liquid separator on the inlet to the pump. An inner and outer housing circumscribe a portion of the flex shaft, each having fluid inlets. The fluid inlets on the outer housing are above the inner housing inlets and an annulus is formed between the inner and outer housing. Wellbore fluid enters the assembly through the outer housing inlets, flows downward through the annulus, and into the inner housing inlets. Gas separates from the liquid as the fluid flows downward from the outer housing inlets to the inner housing inlets.

摘要:
An electrical submersible pump (ESP) having a sleeve coupled to the shaft that rotates as the shaft rotates. The sleeve can be a base portion of a pump impeller, a journal bearing, or a bushing. A drive collar mounts around the shaft and has an end with a portion that projects past an end of the sleeve profiled to correspond with the shape of the projecting portion. As the shaft rotates the drive collar the projecting portion of the drive collar pushes against the profiled end of the sleeve to rotate the sleeve. The projecting portion can be a wedge shaped tab on the drive collar, or an angular segment of the drive collar extending axially past the remaining segments. The profiled end of the sleeve can include a recess formed to receive the tab and can have an angular segment corresponding to that on the drive collar.
摘要:
The pump can be utilized in gassy oil wells to prevent gas slugs from locking the electrical submersible pump. A shroud assembly is provided with a bottom that can be fixed to the top of a seal section connected to the top of a motor. Additional lengths of shroud can be added as the shroud assembly is lowered into the well. The electrical submersible pump can then lowered into the shroud and supported from a production tubing string. A hanger can then be attached to the production tubing string to carry the weight of the shroud assembly, motor, and seal section.

An electrical submersible well pump assembly having a pump, a pump motor, and a seal section. The motor drives the pump via shafts rotatingly coupled with a coupling assembly. The coupling assembly maintains the shaft ends in coaxial alignment with an alignment device. The alignment device is profiled on opposite ends for mating engagement with the centering profiles on the shaft ends.

摘要:
A submersible pumping system for use downhole that includes a housing, a pump and gas separator within the housing, a motor for driving the pump and separator, and a foaming agent injection system. The foaming agent injection system injects a foaming agent upstream of the pump and optionally upstream of the separator. The foaming agent injection system comprises a foaming agent supply, an injection pump, and foaming agent injection line.
摘要:
A hydrocarbon well pump has impellers and diffusers configured with inner and outer sections. The central section contains impeller passages configured for pumping liquid. The outer section contains turbine blades for compressing gas. A cylindrical sidewall separates the two sections. A driven shaft rotates the central and outer sections in unison.
摘要:
A submersible pump gas separator for a well pump has a housing with a rotatable shaft. A separating section in the housing separates heavier well fluid components into an area radially outward from the lighter components. A crossover member rotates with the shaft. The crossover member has a helical liquid passage having an inlet in fluid communication with the separating section for receiving the heavier components and an outlet in fluid communication with a liquid outlet of the housing. The crossover has a gas passage having an inlet in fluid communication with the separating section for receiving the lighter components and an outlet in fluid communication with a gas outlet of the housing.
