The purpose of the present research paper is to estimate the energy efficiency of ESP-operated low production rate wells (up to 100 m3/d).The data on pumps energy efficiency, including the high-speed ESPs, were consolidated and analyzed. The bench test of high-speed ESPs and comparison with field tests allowed to determine the efficiency adjustment factors and establish functional dependencies of energy parameters on shaft rotation speed;theobtainedcorrelations were suggested for recalculation of nominalvalues in bench tests. The paper also indicates that the average efficiency for the high speed ESPs is 12-17% higher in absolute values and 40-68% higher in relative values, compared with the efficiency of pumps with a nominal rotation speed of 3000 rpm. The suggested approach can be expanded as a methodology for wells with more complex operational conditions and more complex pump systems.
