    Abstract: A progressing cavity pump or a positive displacement motor includes an external member having three or more lobes and an internal member extending through the external member and having one less lobe than the external member. One of the internal member and the external member rotates with respect to the other. The curvature of a profile of each of the internal member and external member is finite at all points. A ratio of a lobe volume of the external member to a valley volume of the external member enclosed between a minor external member diameter and a major external member diameter is between 0.9 and 1.2. A lobe height of the external member is related to a ratio of a minor internal member diameter to one less than the number of internal member lobes.

    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for mapping a conduit wall, of which the apparatus includes a shaft defining a central longitudinal axis, and a sensor module coupled to the shaft and including an emitter configured to emit a light beam directed at least partially radially with respect to the central longitudinal axis, and a sensor configured to detect a reflected portion of the light beam, such that the sensor module is configured to measure a distance between the conduit wall and sensor module. The apparatus also includes a centralizer coupled to the shaft and configured to position the sensor module at a center of the conduit.

    Abstract: A technique facilitates efficient well production in relatively low volume applications, e.g. applications after well pressure and volume taper off for a given well. According to an embodiment, use of an electric submersible progressive cavity pump is enabled in harsh, high temperature downhole environments. A pump stator facilitates long-term use in such harsh environments by providing a composite structure having an outer housing and a thermoset resin layer located within the outer housing and secured to the outer housing. The thermoset resin layer is constructed with an internal surface having an internal thread design. Additionally, an elastomeric layer is located within the thermoset resin layer and has a shape which follows the internal thread. In this manner, the elastomeric layer is able to provide an interior surface generally matching the shape of the internal thread of the thermoset resin layer and arranged for interaction with a corresponding pump rotor.
