Abstract
A coil tubing electrical power cable system for use with a submersible pump in oil well and/or water well pumping applications. The cable includes a plurality of insulated electrical conductors enclosed in a low tensile strength corrosion-resistant metal tubing. The twist factor or lay length of the conductors is approximately eight to fourteen times the diameter of the insulated conductors in order to overcome the tensile loads and elevated temperatures which cause z-kinking. In addition, the electrical cable may include one or more hydraulic tubes.
Claims6
An electrical motor operated well pumping system for use in a well comprising,
- an electrical cable adapted to be connected to the motor, said cable having a plurality of insulated electrical conductors having a diameter and which are twisted to have a lay length and which are enclosed in a low tensile strength corrosion-resistant metal tubing, and
- said lay length of the conductors is approximately eight to fourteen times the diameter of the insulated conductors.
An electrical cable comprising,
- a cable having a plurality of insulated electrical conductors having a diameter and which are twisted to have a lay length and which are enclosed in a low tensile strength corrosion-resistant metal tubing, and said lay length of the conductors is approximately 8 to 14 times the diameter of the insulated conductors.
