REDUCING VIBRATION OF AN ELECTRIC SUBMERSIBLE PUMP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240344408 titled 'REDUCING VIBRATION OF AN ELECTRIC SUBMERSIBLE PUMP

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an electric submersible pump assembly with a motor, pump, and slip assembly. The pump is driven by the motor to bring production fluid up the wellbore, while the slip assembly dampens motor vibrations and secures the assembly to the wellbore wall.

Key Features and Innovation:

Electric submersible pump assembly with motor, pump, and slip assembly.
Slip assembly includes first slip (flexible, dampens motor vibrations) and second slip (secures assembly to wellbore wall).
Motor drives pump to flow production fluid up the wellbore.
Slip assembly enhances stability and reduces vibrations in downhole operations.

Potential Applications: This technology can be used in oil and gas production, water management systems, and other industries requiring efficient fluid pumping in downhole operations.

Problems Solved:

Dampens motor vibrations for improved operational stability.
Secures pump assembly to wellbore wall for enhanced safety and efficiency.

Benefits:

Increased operational stability and efficiency.
Reduced maintenance costs due to minimized vibrations.
Enhanced safety in downhole operations.

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include oil and gas drilling, water well pumping, and industrial fluid management systems. This technology can improve operational efficiency and reduce maintenance costs in various industries.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to slip assemblies in downhole operations, motor-driven pump systems, and vibration dampening technologies in the oil and gas industry.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on research related to slip assembly technologies, downhole pump systems, and vibration control in oil and gas operations for the latest advancements in the field.

Questions about Electric Submersible Pump Assembly: 1. How does the slip assembly in this technology contribute to operational stability? 2. What are the potential applications of this electric submersible pump assembly beyond oil and gas production?

Original Abstract Submitted

an electric submersible pump assembly that has a motor, a pump, and a slip assembly. the pump is driven by the motor to flow production fluid up the wellbore through a wellbore string. the slip assembly is attached to the electric submersible pump assembly and resides downhole of the motor. the slip assembly has a first slip and a second slip. the first slip is coupled to the electric submersible pump assembly at or downhole of the motor. the first slip is flexible and engages, with the second slip set, the wall of the wellbore to dampen a vibration of the motor. the second slip is coupled to the electric submersible pump assembly at or downhole of the motor, and is set on a wall of the wellbore, securing the electric submersible pump assembly to the wall of the wellbore.
