In 1957, a second company was established. In 1969, REDA merged with TRW Inc., and in 1987, it was sold to Camco Intl., which merged with Schlumberger in 1998. On 15 March 1930, Phillips sold his rights to Charley Brown, a Bart stockholder and executive in Marland Oil Co., and Arutunoff. Arutunoff and Phillips signed a contract to field test the concept in the El Dorado field near Burns, Kansas. He was at the conference to look for ways of lifting oil from wells that also required producing large amounts of water. The second party involved Clyde Alexander, a vice president of a 9-year-old Bartlesville, Oklahoma, oil company-Phillips Oil Co. Together, they initiated a prototype test in a Baldwin Hills oil well. Just before this conference, Arutunoff had joined forces with Samual VanWert, a sucker-rod salesman who saw the potential of the new device. In 1926, at the American Petroleum Institute (API) conference in Los Angeles, two parties joined together to start the ESP industry. Initially, he approached Westinghouse but was turned down because their engineers thought it would not work because it was impossible under the laws of electronics. In 1923, he immigrated to the United States and began looking for backers for his equipment. In 1919, he immigrated to Berlin and changed the name of his company to REDA. In 1916, he redesigned a centrifugal pump to be coupled to his motor for dewatering mines and ships. It had limited use to drill horizontal holes between trenches so that explosives could be pushed through. During World War I, Arutunoff combined his motor with a drill. in Ekaterinoslav, Russia, and invented the first electric motor that would operate in water. In 1911, 18-year-old Armais Arutunoff organized the Russian Electrical Dynamo of Arutunoff Co. ESPs have been the primary method of lifting fluids from the approximately 1,100 deviated wells from four man-made offshore islands and one onshore site. was formed in April 1965 to drill, develop, and produce the 6,479-acre Long Beach unit in Wilmington field, Long Beach, California. There are special applications in which this configuration is inverted.Īs area in which ESPs are applied extensively, THUMS Long Beach Co. The components are normally tubing hung from the wellhead with the pump on top and the motor attached below. Variable-speed controllers can extend this range significantly, both on the high and low side. These volumes range from a low of 150 B/D to as much as 150,000 B/D (24 to 24,600 m 3/d).

Knowledgeable buyers are expected to carefully review all of the available information in the inspection report, including all photographs, in order to make the best bidding and buying decision possible.The electrical submersible pump, typically called an ESP, is an efficient and reliable artificial-lift method for lifting moderate to high volumes of fluids from wellbores. This inspection report includes ratings, comments, and photos of the various components of the item. These inspections are not designed nor intended to detect latent defects, or conditions that could only be found in connection with the physical dismantling of the equipment or the use of diagnostic tools or techniques. Please note that IronPlanet inspections are performed solely for the purpose of reporting the visible condition of the equipment's major systems and attachments on the day of the inspection and do not include load testing or digging/lifting. Following submission of a written dispute claim, IronPlanet will investigate the claim, re-inspecting the equipment item as necessary, and determine a fair and mutually beneficial resolution. With IronClad Assurance®, if a buyer discovers that the item is not substantially in the condition as represented in this inspection report, the buyer may submit a written dispute claim to IronPlanet.
