Abstract: An electric progressive cavity pump system includes a progressive cavity pump in operation connection with a six-pole, three-phase electric motor. A method of producing fluid from a wellbore includes the steps of positioning a progressive cavity pump below a fluid level in the wellbore, connecting a six-pole, three-phase electric motor that includes a stator having eighteen slots and a plurality of windings distributed among the eighteen slots, wherein the windings of different phases do not pass through the same slot and operating the progressive cavity pump via the electric motor to produce the fluid from the wellbore. The electric motor may be positioned below the fluid level in the wellbore or at the surface.

Abstract: A pumping system including a first section and a second section. The first section includes a first housing having an axial bore formed therethrough and a protruding member formed on one end of the first housing, and a first shaft arranged within the axial bore of the first housing. The second section include a second housing having an axial bore formed therethrough and a recess formed on one end of the second housing for receiving the protruding member of the first housing, and a second shaft arranged within the axial bore of the second housing. An apparatus for compensating oil volume change in a motor, including a compensator housing having an open end for connecting to the motor, and a closed end; and a flexible bladder arranged within the housing and connected to the open end of the housing.

Abstract: A component, such as a submersible motor, having a lubrication distribution system. The component includes an outer housing having a rotatable shaft disposed within the housing. The shaft is supported by one or more bearings and a lubricant is disposed within the housing. A conduit is provided for conducting a lubricant from the lubricant pump to desired locations, such as the one or more bearings.
