The revolutionary Centrilift FLEXPump™ series

pumps incorporate innovative hydraulic design

concepts to expand the application range of

electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems.

These effi cient, reliable pumps have the

industry’s widest operating range, providing

operators with the operational fl exibility

required in dynamic well conditions to minimize

ESP system changeouts and nonproductive

time while at the same time reducing operating

expenses. The high-performance FLEXPump

series pumps are specifi cally designed to

maximize production and ultimate reserve

recovery from conventional oil fi elds, low-fl ow

rate mature oil fi elds, and unconventional

resource plays in which the production index

declines rapidly.

Expand the operational fl exibility of your

ESP system

The FLEXPump series pump designs reduce

the total hydraulic thrust in both upthrust and

downthrust conditions, allowing the pumps

to operate effi ciently and reliably in a wider

operating range.

The extended operating ranges of these pumps

mean the ESP system is adaptable to changing

well conditions as production rates change.

These pumps provide operational fl exibility over

radial compression stages and deliver extensive

fl ow ranges from a minimal number of pump

models in the FLEXPump series. Flow rates

range from 50 to 10,500 B/D.

The FLEXPump line expands the application range

of ESP systems and Baker Hughes application

engineers choose the right FLEXPump series

pump for each well’s specifi c requirements,

focusing on what’s most critical to maximize the

return on investment from every well.

Enhance the effi ciency of your ESP system

Baker Hughes engineers designed the FLEXPump

series pumps to deliver superior effi ciency across

the wider operating range, lowering OPEX—

including power consumption—over the life of

the well.

These pumps deliver continuously rising lift per

stage, allowing for better well drawdown, higher

effi ciency, and improved uptime by reducing

cyclic shutdowns. This also lowers the motor

operating temperature for increased run life

and superior overall system effi ciency. Greater

effi ciency gives you an OPEX advantage over the

life of the reservoir.

Improve the reliability of your ESP system

From existing assets and new production

zones like shale resource plays, tight reservoirs,

and deeper zones, where fl ow conditions can

change dramatically over short periods of time,

the FLEXPump series pumps improve reliability

by providing a pump that can deliver stable

operation in varying conditions. The FLEXPump

series pumps can handle thrust conditions more

effectively than legacy pump models, which

increases run life, reduces workovers, and

decreases downtime.

Wider stage vane openings reduce pump

plugging and give ESP systems enhanced solids

and gas-handling capabilities. Lower hydraulic

thrust extends operation in lower fl ow conditions

and heavier construction of pump components

increases uptime and reliability.
