- Reservoir and fluid properties affecting ESP selection
- Introduction to ESP performance curves
- Exercise: Identify ESP components and their functions

Day 2 – ESP Design & Sizing

- Gathering well and reservoir data for ESP design
- Calculating head requirements and pump stages
- Motor sizing and voltage considerations
- Matching pump performance with well inflow
- Workshop: Perform an ESP design calculation for a target production rate

Day 3 – ESP Installation & Commissioning

- Surface equipment: transformers, VSDs, switchboards
- ESP running procedures: rig equipment, wellhead connections
- Startup procedures and safety considerations
- ESP commissioning checks and documentation
- Exercise: Plan an ESP installation sequence

Day 4 – Performance Monitoring & Troubleshooting

- Analyzing ESP performance data: amps, volts, intake/discharge pressures
- Diagnosing gas interference, scaling, sand production issues
- Vibration, overheating, and electrical faults
- Techniques for extending ESP run life
- Workshop: Interpret ESP operating data to identify causes of performance decline

Day 5 – Optimization & Case Studies
