Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus when installed with an Electrical Submersible Pump for fluid production protects the motor from the effect of solids on the mechanical shaft seal. The invention provides enhanced features to the apparatus that dynamically filters the solids and prevents them from contacting or accumulating at the vicinity of the mechanical shaft seal.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and devices for testing downhole connector electrical systems and cable integrity during installation of a permanent completion, including a customized retrievable plug arm assembly connectable to the completion during RIH, the tool mimicking a retrievable ESP, but without motor, and can be employed with or without pressure isolation. Another method employs a slidable starpoint located within the downhole wet mate connector of the completion to provide continuous electrical contact between the phases when no retrievable assembly is in place. When a retrievable assembly is later put in place, the slidable starpoint is moved into a second position that no longer provides electrical contact between the phases. Another method uses fusible links installed between two conductors within the downhole electrical connector system of the completion to provide similar electrical contact between phases, the fusible link configured to melt away once motor current is sent through the conductors.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus when installed with an Electrical Submersible Pump for fluid production protects the motor from the effect of solids on the shaft seal. The invention provides an apparatus that dynamically filters the solids and prevents them from contacting or accumulating at the vicinity of the shaft seal. The apparatus extends the run life of the ESP and prevents the motor dielectric fluid from being contaminated.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus According to the present invention, a new winding arrangement was developed to enhance the manufacturability of stators with large length to diameter ratio and small aperture diameters such as the ones designed and manufactured for downhole pumping applications. The rectangular conductors are pre-formed to a specific shape, nested together, and inserted into the stator slots. Once the conductors are inserted, additional bending and joining operations are required to complete the coils and phases. These operations can be either fully automatic or semi-automatic. The structure of the winding allows insertion of phase and phase to phase insulation after the joining operation is completed thus reducing the risk of damage to the insulation system during the joining process.
