Durable Cables
Each product is built to withstand harsh conditions and deliver reliable power.
CABLE
Advantages
SPS Inc. provides a complete line of high-performance cables designed to the exact standards required for electric submersible pumping systems, and the specific requirements of your well.
To maximize the operational longevity, all power cables are tested to the latest recommended practices, as well as the strict SPS Inc. specifications for each specific product and services.
The power cable uses an insulation compound (EPDM) specifically formulated to be oil-resistant while maintaining excellent electrical properties. For additional protection, a lead or an additional EPDM jacket is applied over the insulation to add strength and provide an added shield to the insulation.
All of the 3-conductor power cables can be customized for specific well conditions requiring different armor materials.
Advantages
Power is transmitted to the motor by a 3-phase electric cable specifically designed for oilfield ESP operations.
Selecting the appropriate cable for oil well electrical submersible pumps should be based on experience and knowledge of well conditions. Hot, gassy, high pressure wells require more hardened constructions than shallow cool wells.
The presence of corrosive chemicals (H2SO4 or H2CO3) and gases (CO2 or H2S) requires a special jacket and armor selection. If the well develops high operating pressures, attention has to be given to protecting the cable from decompression damage — this would typically require a construction with a lead jacket that provides a hermetic seal.
