Ukrnafta opens modern ESP repair shop
On December 22 new facilities to repair electrical submersible pump installations (ESP) were opened at the production base (Pryluky) of PJSC "Ukrnafta" Oilfield Services Department. This modern facility is the only one in Ukraine that performs incoming inspection of new ESP installations and repairs of ESP installations with the issuance of a computer-aided inspection protocol.
The base is equipped with the newest equipment (made in the USA, Germany, Great Britain), which is located in the production areas so that it could be audited by potential foreign customers, with whom preliminary negotiations on cooperation are held, and, if necessary, to pass certification of the American Petroleum Institute (API).
The capacity of the new workshop allows to perform incoming inspection of new ESP installations and the whole cycle of ESP repair: to repair motors, hydraulic protectors, pumps, cables and other components of ESP installations. All this is performed in accordance with the manufacturer's indicators - after the repair the unit should completely comply with the factory parameters.
Modern repair technologies in the production base shop (Pryluky) will increase the time between overhauls of the wells and reduce the costs per tonne of oil produced. This is one of the main indicators for the company, which determines the efficiency of operations and the cost of production.
