A downhole pumping system includes a downhole pump that includes a motor and is configured to circulate a downhole fluid from a subterranean reservoir to a terranean surface; a production tubing string positioned in the wellbore from the terranean surface to the subterranean reservoir and fluidly coupled to the downhole pump; a wellbore seal positioned in the wellbore and configured to fluidly isolate a first portion of an annulus that is uphole of the downhole pump from a second portion of the annulus in which the downhole pump is positionable; and a pump power cable electrically connected to the motor and to a power source cable in the first portion of the annulus with a power connector, where each of the pump power cable and the power source cable includes a metal jacket that encapsulates the respective cable.

A method is provided for controlling a pump driven by a motor with the motor connected to a drive. The method can include determining a parameter value related to a fault condition, comparing the parameter value to a threshold value, and adjusting a speed control of the drive based on the comparison of the determined parameter to the threshold value.

A motor lead coupler is configured to provide a metal-to-metal sealed connection between a first motor lead extension and a second motor lead extension. The motor lead coupler includes a first plurality of receivers on a first end of the body, a second plurality of receivers on a second end of the body, and a plurality of intermediate terminals. Each of the first plurality of receivers is configured to receive a corresponding one of the first plurality of leads, and each of the second plurality of receivers is configured to receive a corresponding one of the second plurality of leads. Each of the intermediate terminals is connected between a corresponding pair of the first plurality of receivers and the second plurality of receivers. The motor lead coupler includes pressure test ports that can be used to pressure test the connection between individual leads and the motor lead coupler.

An electric submersible pump (ESP) electric motor. The ESP electric motor comprises a housing; a stator retained within the housing; a drive shaft; and an at least one rotor mechanically coupled to the drive shaft and located concentric with and inside of the stator, wherein an inside surface of the stator defines a groove extending from an upper end to a lower end of the stator, an outside surface of the at least one rotor defines a groove extending from an upper end to a lower end of the at least one rotor, an inside surface of the at least one rotor defines a groove extending from an upper end to a lower end of the at least one rotor, or an outside surface of the drive shaft defines a groove extending from below an male splines at an upper end to a lower end of the drive shaft.

A common mode line-to-ground filter is disclosed which includes but is not limited to a resistor, capacitor and a ground. The common mode line to ground filter is connected on a high side of a step-up transformer. A low side of the step-up transformer is connected to a variable frequency drive that provides a semi-sinusoidal voltage waveform. The common mode line to ground filter generates a filtered sinusoidal waveform from the output of the step-up transformer. The filtered sinusoidal voltage waveform is supplied via an electrical cable to an electrically submersible pump deployed downhole.

A pump system includes a pump barrel disposed within a housing. A standing valve is disposed at a first end of a pump chamber defined within the pump barrel. A traveling valve is disposed at a second end of the pump chamber. The traveling valve is movable relative to along an axial axis and relative to the housing. A motor stator is disposed inside the housing. produces a rotating electromagnetic field upon receiving electrical power. A motor rotor is rotatably supported within the motor stator and rotates about the axial axis in response to the rotating electromagnetic field. A traveling plug is coupled to the valve body of the traveling body and arranged to move linearly along the axial axis in response to rotation of the motor rotor. The pump system can be disposed in a wellbore to lift fluids up a tubing in the wellbore.

A method for providing well safety control in a remedial electronic submersible pump (ESP) application including a making up an electric submersible pump (ESP) on a conduit with a primary well control capability; running the foregoing through a preexisting SCSSV.

A hydraulic fracturing system includes a pump, an electrically powered motor for driving the pump, a trailer on which the pump and motor are mounted, and a transformer that steps down electricity for use by the motor. Electrical output from the transformer connects to a series of receptacles mounted onto a housing around the transformer. A similar set of receptacles is provided on the trailer and which are electrically connected to the motor. Power cables equipped with plugs on their opposing ends insert into the receptacles to close an electrical circuit between the transformer and pump.
