Baker Hughes is the only electrical

submersible pumping (ESP) system provider

that designs and manufactures the complete

ESP system, including the power cable. The

Xtreme Performance (XP™) series cable is

designed to support extended run life for ESP

systems in the world’s most hostile oilfi eld

environments. This includes critical wells with

high workover costs, corrosive or gas laden

conditions, or high temperatures.

Our FluoroBarrier™ CEB (round) cables are

rated from -40ºF (-40ºC) to 400ºF (204ºC).

FluoroBarrier CEB can operate over a broad

temperature range using insulation that is

a specially compounded oil resistant EPDM

rubber with proven electrical properties. This

is covered with an extruded FluoroBarrier

layer to provide complete protection from

chemicals in well fl uids and gases. A

patented, high modulus jacket of breathable

oil-resistant rubber and galvanized steel

armor offer fi nal layers of protection.

The Baker Hughes CEL (round or fl at) cable

is applicable in a wide range of temperatures

from -40ºF (-40ºC) to 450ºF (232ºC). CEL

cable is the best choice for extreme downhole

conditions, featuring a special oil-resistant

EPDM rubber insulation for high dielectric

strength and excellent decompression

resistance. The CPL (fl at) cable is rated from

-40ºF (-40ºC) to 257ºF (125ºC). CPL cable

is best suited for cooler well conditions and

features a specially formulated, rugged

polypropylene insulation for damage

resistance and longer run life.

Both CEL and CPL designs employ a fatigue

and corrosion resistant lead sheath over the

insulation for maximum fl exibility and run

life. Lead sheaths are made to Baker Hughes

specifi cations and extruded on state-of-the-

art equipment, using laser diameter controls

for the highest quality and consistency.

These features make CEL and CPL cable ideal

for wells with high gas content or high levels

of CO2 or H

2S.

We employ a proprietary process to

apply the lead sheath directly over the

polypropylene insulation in CPL cables.

For additional protection on CEL cable, a

bedding tape is used to protect the lead

sheath during application of the armor. The

armor on all Baker Hughes cables is edge-

coated on all sides to provide the industry’s

best corrosion protection.

Baker Hughes Capillary (round or fl at) cable

is rated from -30ºF (-34ºC) to 450ºF (232ºC).

Capillary cable uses patented designs and

unique manufacturing methods to incorporate

one or two capillary or bubble tube lines with

the cable. This eliminates the cost of running

separate chemical treatment lines down wells.

The tubes are enclosed in a second armor

layer, which adds more mechanical protection

to the hydraulic tube and ESP power cable.

The additional armor layer allows capillary

tubes to be terminated at any desired location

without disturbing the power cable.
