The Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) artificial lift system utilizes an electric motor to power a multistage centrifugal pump, lifting fluids from oil wells. Sub-surface components include a sensor, electric motor, seal chamber, shaft, pump intake, and centrifugal pump stages. Surface components involve electrical supply equipment, an ESP controller, and a variable speed drive. ESPs are adaptable to deviated wells, operate quietly with a small footprint, handle high volumes, and work in corrosive environments. However, they face challenges with solids, removal costs for downhole failures, efficiency at lower volumes, and casing size requirements for higher production rates.

ESP Sandguard

SandGuard is a unique multi-lift solution from FET that makes it possible to eliminate potential factors that lead to ESP failures. SandGuard is a revolutionary technology that captures and quarantines fallback sand to keep pump restarts trouble-free. Proven through thousands of installations, SandGuard has demonstrated enormous increases in ESP run times in sandy wells. SandGuard [...]

Cyclone

Cyclone ESP leverages proven vortex technology as part of a superior sand protection system. Applicable to onshore, offshore, deviated or horizontal wells, it prevents sand damage, extends pump run life and dramatically lowers lease operating expenses. With one size for all flow rates, Cyclone easily retrofits to any ESP well. Because it rests directly below [...]

Cross Coupling Protector

Downhole cables are especially vulnerable during installation and retrieval. Our cross-coupling protectors support virtually any configuration of control lines, electric submersible pumps, umbilical lines or encapsulated bundles in the wellbore. The protector's channel shields cables and lines as they transition across the coupling, helping to prevent damage during installation or retrieval of completions. The compressive [...]

Guards

Standoff guards use augmented channels to shield cables and/or lines that traverse over large outer diameter equipment, preventing damage during installation or completion retrieval. All of our guards are customized for their associated equipment, and field installation is quick and simple using air-driven hydraulic tools to compress collars and secure taper pins. Forum's standoff guards [...]

Chemical Injection

Corrosion Protection with Chemical Injection Centralizer Preventing the adverse effects of wellbore corrosion is an ongoing battle during production operations. While highly effective, chemical injection for corrosion protection also creates a a dilemma in that injecting too little may not stop the corrosion or buildup, but adding too much wastes product and can create downstream [...]

Motor Lead Extension (MLE) Protectors

Motor lead extension (MLE) cables may keep a low profile in downhole operations, but these flat cables are the critical relay between main power cables and motors. To ensure maximum performance, our MLE ESP cable protectors ensure a superior fit and protection for these compact cables. Offering a lower running profile and improved deployment location, [...]

GasGuard®

Gas slugs develop under numerous production conditions resulting in various circumstances including changes in reservoir conditions, changes in production strategy (EOR/IOR) and changes in production rates. Despite the situation, slugging is one of the most widely faced issues in the oil and gas industry. This is especially true for unconventional wells produced with artificial lift [...]

Mid Joint Clamp

For superior downhole cable protection, pair Forum’s mid-joint clamps with cross-coupling protectors on the tubing string. Installed mid-joint on the tubing, these clamps can secure virtually any configuration of control lines or cables in the well. Per American Petroleum Institute specs, the compressive-fit design accommodates oversize or undersize tubing and securely engages the cable or [...]
