ITT connector targets geothermal app
Santa Ana, Calif. — ITT Interconnect Solutions offers a BIW Wellhead feedthru and surface power connector for electric submersible well pumps. These connectors are available in sizes and configurations to fit almost any electrical submersible pump (ESPs), downhole instrument and gauge (smart well equipment), and downhole heater applications.
The heavy-duty metal shells prevent collapse from high-pressure well conditions and are a key element in maintaining a fluid barrier at the wellhead, said ITT.
Case in point: The new connector has been specified for use by the Peppermill Resort Spa Casino in Reno, Nevada. It is used to supply electrical power to the electric submersible pump in the well, which delivers hot water from the underground formation to the resort.
The 4,400 ft. deep well, which went live in January, produces an excellent flow rate, pressure and fluid temperature, exceeding initial expectations and requirements, said ITT.
