High-Temperature ESP Cable

We designed our ESP cable from the perspective of an artificial lift company. It is designed to deliver superior power supply performance to our electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems and geothermal submersible pumping (GSP) systems. It delivers up to 5000 v of alternating current (AC) at frequencies ranging from 50 to 400 Hz. This flat, rugged, armored cable is ideal for ESP systems of any size, from 2.72 in. (69 mm) up to 7.40 in. (188 mm).
Novomet ESP cable offers exceptional performance in high-temperature, high-corrosion well environments. The outside armor stands up to acid, brine, corrosive substances, high hydrostatic pressure, and elevated gas-to-oil ratios.

Cable Highlights

Components

Tinned copper single-wire conductor (class 1, GOST 22483-2012)
High-dielectric EPDM rubber insulation
Lead-sheathed conductors for maximum protection against gas and corrosive liquids
Synthetic tape wrapping to ensure mechanical strength
Galvanized or corrosion-resistant cable armor, with a MONEL alloy option for extreme pressures
Stainless steel chemical injection capillary tube for supplying scale and corrosion inhibitor

Armor Selection

Galvanized steel for basic corrosion resistance
Corrosion-resistant steel for added protection
Highly corrosion-resistant MONEL alloy for extremely corrosive environments

EPDM Insulation

Ethylene propylene copolymer (EPDM) insulation has high dielectric properties, enabling reliable operation in downhole temperatures up to 450°F (232°С).

BENEFITS

Durable, rugged, and tough

—
Delivers longer runlife in aggressive environments

Applicable across a range of sizes

—
Can be used with ESPs ranging from 2.72 to 7.40 in.

Fully customizable

—
Offers made-to-order flexibility

Applications

Oil and gas wells produced with ESP systems
Water injection and downhole pumping systems
Shelf deposit operations
Intake and geothermal wells

Features

Stepped, anti-seize profile reduces the risk of armor damage
Electrical resistance in the main conductor insulation is at least 500 megohms per 3,280 ft (1 km) of length at a temperature of 68°F (20°C)
Superior materials enable the cable to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°F (-40°C) to 450°F (232°С)
