Performance Highlight
Induction Motor Power Vs. Permanent Magnet Motor Power
INDUCTION MOTOR POWER VS. PERMANENT MAGNET MOTOR POWER
ELECTRICITY SAVINGS COMPARISON
Conditions
- Two “sister” wells identified
- Goal: side by side comparison of induction vs. permanent magnet motor electricity costs
- Both on same lease & put on ESP within 2 weeks of each other
- Both @ same set depth; same DN3000 stage count
- Dedicated power meters installed on each well
- Electricians performed daily reads of kWh
Results
- Similar flowrates throughout case study
- Well running PMM drew down 500 FT below IM
- Results were normalized by pump HHP to give even comparison between two different pump loads
- Due to market conditions both wells ran slow at only 45 Hz
- Power savings would be more significant at higher pump HP loads
