| 20110014071 | PROTECTOR FOR ELECTRICAL SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS - A system and method is used to protect a motor of a submersible pumping system. A variety of motor protector features are provided to facilitate operation of the motor protector and submersible pumping system in multiple wellbore environments and applications. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110123374 | COMPENSATOR ASSEMBLY FOR SUBMERSIBLE PUMP SYSTEM - A submersible pump system with a pump, motor and compensator assembly. In one embodiment, the compensator assembly is made up of multiple elastomeric compensators and a housing. The elastomeric compensators, which are made up of an engaging end, a floating end and a series of alternating crests and grooves, may contain motor cooling liquid. The crests and grooves extend along the compensator's longitudinal axis. The compensators possess a degree of elasticity sufficient for a width of at least one of the respective grooves to expand and contract along with the motor cooling liquid. The crests slide along an interior wall of the housing, while the floating end moves within the housing in cooperation with expansion and contraction of the width of at least one of the grooves. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110194956 | MECHANISM FOR SEALING PFA SEAL BAGS - A seal section for use in a downhole submersible pumping system includes a housing, a bag support tube extending through the housing, a shaft positioned inside the bag support tube and a bag plate connected to the bag support tube. The bag plate preferably includes an end cap secured to the bag support tube and a locking collar threadingly engaged with the end cap. The bag plate is configured to receive the open end of a cylindrical seal bag manufactured from perflouroalkoxy polymer. The end cap includes a tapered head that tapers from a first diameter that is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the seal bag to a second diameter that is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the seal bag. This mechanism for securing the seal bag obviates the need for o-ring or other mechanical seals between the seal bag and the bag plate. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20130216409 | AMPHIBIOUS PUMP - An amphibious pump is provided including a wet type motor with coolant and an absorbing mechanism of the expansion of the coolant inside the motor chamber, dividing it into two chambers, at least one expansion joint between an internal chamber of the motor, hermetically closed, and an equalization inner chambers and a means to equalize the internal pressure for the pumped fluid. The electric motor is immersed m a cooling liquid, usually oil, in a chamber, and, the other camera is filled with the aqueous solution, which communicates with the outside through the equalizer assembly, which can, for example, comprise a rubber mask with micro holes, which allows the exchange of water between the outer chamber and the chamber of the motor. | 08-22-2013 |
| 20160017701 | Below Motor Equalizer of Electrical Submersible Pump and Method for Connecting - Upper and lower pressure equalizers couple to a lower end of a motor of an electrical, submersible pump assembly. An intermediate connection having a liquid flow passage connects the pressure equalizers. A connection valve located in the liquid flow passage closes the liquid flow passage prior to connecting the pressure equalizers with each other, and opens the liquid flow passage after the connection between the pressure equalizers is made. A sensor lower equalizer wire extends from a sensor unit through the lower pressure equalizer to a lower electrical terminal at the upper end of the lower pressure equalizer. A sensor upper equalizer wire connects to the lower electrical terminal and extends through, the upper pressure equalizer to an upper electrical terminal at the upper end of the upper pressure equalizer. A sensor motor wire extends downward from the motor into engagement with the upper electrical terminal. | 01-21-2016 |
| 20160032928 | Threaded Connection for Tandem Motors of Electrical Submersible Pump - An electrical submersible pump assembly has modules including a pump, at least one motor, and a pressure equalizer coupled to the motor. First and second ones of the modules have a threaded connection including a first adapter having threads. A second adapter mounted to the second module has a tubular body, a neck of smaller diameter than the body, an external shoulder at a base of the neck, a rim on the neck, and an external groove between the external shoulder and the rim. A collar is rotatably carried and axially movable on me neck, the collar being in threaded engagement with the threads of the first adapter, the collar having an internal groove. A split shoulder ring carried partly in the external groove and partly in the internal groove retains the collar on the neck and is biased into one of the grooves. | 02-04-2016 |
