ESP Cables

Overview

Downhole extraction systems play a crucial role in crude oil extraction. The performance and reliability of an Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) system depend on a reliable electrical power supply. This supply includes the power feed to the wellhead, power cable, motor lead cable, pigtail connectors, and related equipment, and is essential for the optimal functioning of the pump and motor. 

 

Prysmian has been supplying cabling for ESP systems for over 30 years. Our solutions are designed to prolong the operating life of artificial lift systems, even in the most challenging oil field environments, such as wells with high workover costs, corrosive conditions, or high temperatures

Prysmian ESP cables provide an efficient, rugged, and easy-to-handle solution that delivers reliable performance in a simple package. These cables can withstand high temperatures and harsh environments, as well as resist aggressive chemical environments. 

 

Prysmian ESP cables are available in two designs: round, which offers high flexibility and crush resistance, and flat, which is used when there is a tight fit between casing and tubing. Both designs use Prysmian’s proprietary insulating and jacketing compounds to ensure superior performance and extended operating life in even the most hostile environments. 

 

For ease of installation and maintenance, Prysmian ESP cables are shipped on reels of a continuous, splice-free length.

By leveraging the technical expertise of our R&D centers and extensive global manufacturing experience in ESP and Downhole Technology products, along with our deep understanding of market demands gained through close relationships with leading operators, EPCs, and equipment manufacturers in the Oil & Gas industry, Prysmian is proud to be the first cable manufacturer to offer an integrated ESP cable solution.

 

Each solution is tailored to specific application demands through close collaboration between Prysmian, the ESP manufacturer, and the operator. This involves combining the following elements:

▶  ESP Cable Solutions

▶  Downhole Cables

  • Downhole Cables, including Tubing Encapsulated Cables (TEC) for transmitting data or supplying power to a wide range of downhole instrumentation, sensors, and electrically powered equipment
  • Tubing Encapsulated Fiber Optic Cables (TEF) for applications such as distributed temperature sensing, pressure, flow, strain measurement, and acoustic sensing
  • Hybrid Cables that combine instrument, power, and fiber optic cables to streamline the wellbore space or eliminate the need for multiple cables

▶  ESP Cable and Control Line Protectors
