We can provide anything from a single drive for local integration, to a fully engineered variable speed drive surface package (drive, cabinet, monitoring and step-up transformer), providing the benefits of energy efficiency and flexible process control for Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP), Reciprocating Rod Pump (RRP) and Progressive Cavity Pump (PCP) applications.

Flexible and customizable modular systems to meet the challenges of oil well production Our flexible and proven variable speed drive solutions using Powerdrive are based on a Modular concept, and can be customized to the requirements of each oil well: • Our standard rectifier and inverter modules are combined to build any type of Front End architecture such as 6, 12, 18, 24 pulse or Active Front End (AFE) or any size of drive by paralleling. • These modules are fitted in adaptable enclosures and footprints that can be installed indoor or outdoor, offshore or onshore. • Conformance with standards,...

Comprehensive shelter options We provide fully configurable shelter solutions that are customized to the exact needs of your well field requirements. These are constructed onsite either by our Automation Centre or integrator partners and can include: Full configuration of drive systems for controlling multiple wells Easy integration with field control and monitoring systems Suitable construction to match the requirements of the local environment Easy to commission, operate and maintain well solutions Our well solutions contain numerous features to enhance user experience and ensure the system...

Operation: Operating and diagnostic data shown clearly, including display of alarms (orange background) or Trip root cause (red background). Preventive auto test of motor and main drive components where power-up occurs under reduced voltage to avoid catastrophic failure due to faulty system conditions. In case of a fault condition the defective component is identified. Maintenance: Individual modules are simple and quick to replace onsite: • Each power module is compact and lightweight (less than 20 kg) and can be handled easily, with no specific handling equipment required. • Modularity through...

Dedicated artificial lift features providing short and long term benefits Our solutions incorporate dedicated artificial lift functionality that reduces equipment wear and down-time, while improving well productivity and system longevity: • • Back-spin protection Pump release ‘rocking start’ mode Intelligent power ride-through control allows the drive to take automatic action during supply disturbances to keep the pump running as long as possible Real-time monitoring and regulation of the load level due to changing well conditions reducing equipment wear and down-time, while extending system...

Flexible Data Monitoring and Logging (DML) packages for basic to advanced performance Our flexible DML packages give you precise monitoring and reporting of well and drive conditions, allowing operators to make informed decisions to boost well production: Basic DML option • Possibility to log 10 drive parameters with a 1 s sample time • A single data log file is generated every 24 hours for simple manual analysis • Data is stored on a USB memory stick or SD card • Data can either be retrieved manually or via fieldbus • Possibility to set-up alarms on any drive parameter • Alarms are either...

Submersible Pumps (ESPs) customized solution ESP systems associated with variable speed drives (VSD) are susceptible to problems associated with long cable lengths, signal quality to the submersible motor and interference due to numerous drives on the same mains supply. Harmonic currents often circulate due to network impedance, causing unwanted effects. Our unique ESP VSD solution combines Active Front End technology, optimized output sine filter and step-up transformer to overcome all of these risks. Benefits include: • Total harmonic distortion (THDi) is limited to 3.5 % • No need for oversizing...

Robust transformers customized to exact requirements As part of our artificial lift solutions, we provide transformers in numerous voltage ranges and number of steps that can withstand severe environmental conditions. Options include: Outstanding downhole sensor protection In addition to improving the accuracy of the downhole sensor readings by eliminating the potential disturbances, our VSDs increase the lifetime of these sensors by significantly reducing their exposure to low frequencies during acceleration. • ATEX: certification by a notified body • ONAN type cooling • Secondary voltage...
