More Information
Summary:An improved electrical submersible pump is disclosed in which a processor (37) downhole is utilized to monitor one or more subsurface conditions, to record data, and to alter at least one operating condition of the electrical submersible pump (23). Novel uses are described for downhole gas compression, the delivery of particulate matter to wellbore sites, and for the disposal of waste.
