API RP 11S 3:1999 (R2013)

This recommended practice covers the installation and replacement of all major components that comprise a typical, electrical submersible pumping system. (See Figure 1.) Specifically, it covers installations in oil and gas production operations where the equipment is installed on tubing. It does not cover equipment selection or application. Any of several installation procedures may be acceptable for good operations. All installations, however, require good engineering practice, sound judgment, and proper maintenance.
