ESP Motors

High-efficiency ESP induction motors and permanent magnet motors to reduce electricity costs

SLB ESP motors are designed for reliable, efficient lifting and electrical performance in any oil and gas, geothermal, mining, or industrial water application, including high-temperature and low-ambient-temperature conditions. Our portfolio is designed to simplify installation, reduce early ESP pulls with improved thermal and electrical reliability, and extend run life in severe applications—all while reducing kWh electricity costs.

Reda Maximus™ Install-Ready ESP Motor

Improve reliability with robust rotor bearings

The REDA Maximus ESP motor combines strength and reliability with an innovative plug-and-play concept to improve reliability and run life in both conventional and unconventional applications. Using the exclusive MaxJoint ESP flange connection technology for simpler and more reliable mechanical connections of motors and protectors, it saves costly workover and rig time.

The system features a MaxLok ESP quick-plug motor lead extension that ensures a leak-tight connection and eliminates the process of taping in the pothead terminals at the wellsite.

Variable-rated for different operating conditions, the Maximus ESP motors offer flexibility across all ESP wells and applications, including severe weather conditions. Maximus ESP system protector heads feature the same abrasion-resistant bearing system successfully implemented in REDA ESP systems for more than 15 years.

  • Casing OD from 3.75 to 5.62 in [95.25 to 142.7 mm]
  • Wide power ranges from 14.3 to 1,126 hp at 60 Hz
  • Max. winding temperature of 400 degF [204 degC]

Permanent Magnet Motors

Permanent magnet motors are optimal for operations with significant electricity costs, especially in locations where electricity is generated by trucked-in, diesel-driven generators.

Overview

A superior alternative to induction motors

The permanent magnet motor (PMM) is a three-phase, oil-filled motor with permanent magnets mounted in the rotor. Its unique design enables superior performance, improved efficiency, and higher power factor, resulting in reduced power consumption compared with standard induction motors.

Applications

PMMs for ESPs are used with Reda ESP pumps in multiple industries, including oil and gas, mining (for dewatering), and geothermal energy production.

An alternative technology in electrical downhole drives, PMMs are assembled and run in the same way as conventional ESP motors and are suited for most applications.

Benefits

Reduced energy consumption and emissions. Assessing the power efficiency of ESPs is a practical first step to reducing energy consumption and the resulting emissions during operation.

Features

Greater operational flexibility due to motor size and power. Higher power density results in a motor that is shorter and lighter than legacy induction ESP motors without reducing the rating. This enables single-motor configurations and reduces risks in deviated wells with high dogleg severity (DLS).
