ESP Bypass Systems - Y-Tools

Gaining access below the Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) without the need for workover is becoming essential; the only way to achieve this is to install an ESP Bypass System (or y-tool). As increasing reservoir performance targets are being introduced, knowing how your reservoir is performing with artificial lift becomes more and more crucial.

Bypass systems are mature technology and little had progressed in their design for almost 20 years. However, Zenith ESP Bypass systems have been re-engineered to overcome problems inherent in other manufacturers’ systems.

An alternative regular bypass system can double the installation time of the ESP assembly; resulting in the rig being on location longer than required, as well as time-to-production delays.

Zenith downhole completions are designed to achieve simpler, safer installation of the system; rig time savings of more than 50% on average competitor ESP bypass installation times can be achieved.

Zenith ESP bypass completions unique system design also allows for thermal expansion of the ESP assembly preventing subsequent damage which may be detrimental to the continued operation of the ESP, maximising pump protection.
