Minimizing cable costs by intelligent selection

$15.00

In an environment of unpredictable oil prices, choosing the optimum ESP power cable for your application becomes more important in order to maximize cable run life. This paper will explore some of the many construction options available in the marketplace for polypropylene insulated cables and, through extensive laboratory testing and field data, help the petroleum engineer/purchaser to better understand how to specify the most cost-effective product for a specific set of well conditions.
