FAQ

Common Questions About ESP Procurement

Answers to what production engineers and vendors ask most about ESPBids.

What is an Electric Submersible Pump (ESP)?

An Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) is a form of artificial lift used in oil and gas production. ESPs are downhole pump assemblies driven by an electric motor, used to bring reservoir fluids to surface when reservoir pressure alone is insufficient. They consist of a motor, seal section, pump, and motor lead extension (MLE) connected to surface power via electrical cable.

How does ESPBids improve the ESP RFQ process?

Traditional ESP sourcing relies on email, phone calls, and custom spreadsheets — making it slow, inconsistent, and hard to compare. ESPBids provides a standardized digital RFQ form that captures all required design parameters, routes them automatically to qualified vendors, and presents all responses in a structured side-by-side comparison view.

Which ESP vendors are on the platform?

ESPBids includes all major ESP vendors active in the Permian Basin, with plans to expand to other U.S. plays. The vendor network is continuously growing — contact us for the latest.

What ESP design parameters can I specify in an RFQ?

ESPBids RFQs support all key design inputs: target production rate (BPD), pump intake pressure (PIP), setting depth, gas percentage at intake, fluid gradient, wellbore geometry, surface voltage, requested operating speed range, seal configuration, and backend repair cap requirements. Attachments such as directional surveys and historical production data are also supported.

Is ESPBids specific to the Permian Basin?

ESPBids was built by operators in the Permian Basin and is especially well-suited for Midland Basin and Delaware Basin operations, but the platform works for any oil and gas play where ESP artificial lift is used, including the Anadarko, DJ Basin, Eagle Ford, and international operations.

How much does ESPBids cost?

Operators can register and begin using ESPBids with a free 1-month trial — no credit card required. After your trial, contact us at [email protected] for information about operator plans, vendor subscription plans, and enterprise pricing.
