Formula Reference
ESP Sizing Formulas:
Hydraulic Horsepower: HHP = (Q × TDH × SG) / 136,000
Pump Efficiency: Eff = HHP / BHP
Stages Required: N = TDH / Head_per_Stage
Motor Input Power: KW = (HP × 0.746) / Motor_Efficiency
Fluid Velocity: V = 0.0093583 × (Q / Annular_Area)
Monthly Power Cost: Cost = KW × 730 × Power_Cost

Affinity Laws Formulas
Affinity Laws:
Flow: Q₂ = Q₁ × (N₂/N₁)
Head: H₂ = H₁ × (N₂/N₁)²
Power: P₂ = P₁ × (N₂/N₁)³
Efficiency: Efficiency remains constant (theoretically)
Where: Q = Flow rate, H = Head, P = Power, N = Speed (Hz)

Troubleshooting Guide
Common ESP Problems
Gas Locking
Solution:
1. Install gas separator or gas handler
2. Increase tubing pressure by choking back
3. Lower pump setting depth
4. Consider variable speed operation
AI Recommendation:
Use gas-handling pump or install rotary gas separator for GOR > 500 scf/bbl
Sand Erosion
Solution:
1. Install abrasion-resistant pump
2. Add sand control screens
3. Optimize production rate
4. Monitor sand production rates
AI Recommendation:
Use hardened materials (tungsten carbide) for stages in sandy wells
Scale Formation
Solution:
1. Chemical injection program
2. Periodic acid treatments
3. Increase fluid velocity
4. Scale inhibitor injection
AI Recommendation:
For carbonate scale, use phosphonate-based inhibitors at 10-20 ppm
Motor Overheating
Solution:
1. Install motor shroud
2. Increase fluid velocity (>1 ft/sec)
3. Reduce pump size
4. Implement pump-off controller
AI Recommendation:
Minimum fluid velocity of 1.5 ft/sec required for adequate motor cooling
