Petroleum and natural gas industries — Drilling and production equipment — Electric submersible pump systems for artificial lift

This document specifies requirements for the design, design verification and validation, manufacturing and data control, performance ratings, functional evaluations, handling and storage of tubing-deployed electrical submersible pump (ESP) systems. Additionally, this document provides requirements for assembled ESP system.

This document is applicable to those ESP related components meeting the definition of centrifugal pumps, including gas handling devices, discharge heads, seal chamber sections, intake systems, mechanical gas separators, asynchronous 3 phase - 2 pole induction motors (herein motor), shaft couplings, downhole power cables (herein power cables), motor lead extension, and pothead. Components supplied under the requirements of this document exclude previously used subcomponents, except where the use of such subcomponents is as defined in this document (Clause 9).

This document addresses design validation performance rating requirements by component (see Annex A), requirements for determining ratings as an assembled system (see Annex B), functional evaluation: single component (see Annex C) and cable reference information (see Annex D).
