I. ESP cable sealing description

Korvet KSAP cable sealing system has number of advantages over conventional
products such as penetrators:

Simple design: KSAP does not require specially trained personnel for installation
and can be tested up to 5000 psi WP.
Safety: all versions have quick pressure test ports
Easy installation: · only one spanner is needed
No cable cutting required: during installation in tubing hanger or tubing head, the
cable is left unharmed and therefore no splicing or epoxy work is required.
Cost effectiveness: significant procurement cost advantage over wellhead
penetrators.
No electrical shorting: at tubing head because of no excessive connections.
Workover: during workover operations only the rubber sleeves needs to be
replaced.
In Russia & Caspian Sea region Korvet has more than 20 thousand of such installations.
System is approved by Shell specialists.

Working principle :
The gland screw (1) pressurizes the rubber sleeve (4) and insulated cable (3). The ball
bearing (2) assures low friction operation.

II. Wellhead design: eccentric tubing hanger

Typical application for safe BOP removing. Replacing penetrator with KSAP allows to
save rig time, money at completion/workover and to avoid of electric shortcuts at
producing and it removes with the usual issues of cable shorting at the producing
wellhead.

III. Wellhead design: suspending tubing head adapter

Quick pressure
test port

Mainly used in Former Soviet Union countries with wellheads for ESP production: where
BOP removal allowed without “double barrier” rule. KSAP confirms the seal quickly
and effectively at completion and as part of planned maintenance scheme.

IV. Wellhead design: conventional ESP wellhead

Quick pressure
test port in a
tubing hanger

Typical application for well conversion from natural flow to ESP. Safe BOP removing.
Quick pressure test ports for cable sealing on hanger. Replacing penetrator with KSAP
will save rig time, at completion and workovers. It will enhance site safety by preventing
“electric joint and associated shorting“ at the wellhead. To be supplied together with
conversional wellhead. This design is lower cost alternative to expencive conversion
penetrators.
