Extreme Temperature ESP System

The Centrilift Extreme Temperature (ET)
ESP system from Baker Hughes is a
proven system solution for harsh oilfi eld
environments. Baker Hughes has provided
reliable ESP systems in steam-assisted
gravity drainage (SAGD) projects since
2004 and we offer the only ESP systems
pre-qualifi ed in our R&D test loops in fl uid
temperatures up to 446ºF (230ºC).
The Extreme Temperature ESP system has
shown rapid adoption rates in the oilfi eld due
to increased reliability and decreased idle rig
time. In less than three years, the ET system
install base has increased nearly 1,400%.
Baker Hughes was the fi rst in the oilfi eld
services industry to offer these two new
system innovations: the plug-in pothead
and pre-fi lled motor/seal. In an effort to
increase system reliability and reduce
costly rig time, the pre-fi lled motor/seal is
serviced in our factory. The plug-in pothead
eliminates the need for a fi eld splice. This
further reduces necessary rig time.
The ET system can handle the most abrasives,
gas, and steam with the latest abrasionresistant
technology. The MVP multiphase
pump design and gas-avoiding intakes offer
reliability in horizontal orientations with the
presence of gas and steam.
For superior control, the Electrospeed
variable speed drive (VSD) operates with a
suite of software designed for viscous oil,
including MaxStart and MaxPoint software.
With MaxStart software, operators can
avoid workovers due to locked pumps,
especially in heavy oil and tar sands.
MaxStart software integrates a dynamic
ESP system model to accurately calculate
shaft torque and automatically starts
the ESP system by alternating between
forward and reversing torque until the
pump turns freely. Shaft breakage is
virtually eliminated.
The MaxPoint frequency sweep software
maximizes production by ensuring minimal

The ET ESP system is part of our Centrilift CENtigrade elevated
temperature systems family. These system solutions serve the
high temperature oil, SAGD, and geothermal energy markets in
three categories:
High Temperature (HT), for fluid temperatures up to 325ºF (163ºC)
Extreme Temperature, for fluid temperatures up to 428ºF (220ºC)
Ultra Temperature (UT), for fluid temperatures up to 482ºF (250ºC)
