LIFTING THE FLUIDS
THAT POWER THE WORLD
A crucial component of any submersible pump installation is the cable, through which electricity is supplied to the well. Novomet has its own cable manufacturing facility, launched in 2021. This leads to a reduction in the cost of a complete installation, shorter production times, and guarantees timely product delivery.
"The cable was the last major product we were purchasing from outside, but after launching our own production, we ensured 100% manufacturing of all key components of complete installations," says Yuri Vinogradov, head of cable production at Novomet. "Today, we fully supply our branches both in Russia and abroad with cables. We use the most modern materials and maintain a high level of quality control. The reduced insulation layer significantly lightens the weight of the product, which is one of our competitive advantages in the market."
The submersible cable from Novomet is designed for powering submersible motors with a maximum operating voltage of up to 5000V AC and a frequency range from 50 to 400 Hz. Its applications include mechanized oil extraction, water injection into reservoirs, and intra-well pumping, as well as the operation of offshore fields, water intake wells, and geothermal wells.
The cable can be used both as part of an extension cord and for the main cable line in deep wells with complex characteristics—high temperatures of the surrounding working fluid, high water content, acids, salts, and other aggressive substances, increased intra-well hydrostatic pressure, and high gas factors. A wide range of sizes for cable extensions allows their use in any ESP from size 2A to size 9.
The special durability of the cable is achieved through a protective armor for various operating conditions, which reduces the number of failures when lowering installations into horizontal boreholes. The cable is resistant to temperatures ranging from -60 to +232°C. It can be manufactured according to individual parameters depending on the working environment conditions—corrosion-resistant designs, increased corrosion resistance, and resistance to stress corrosion cracking, particularly in especially challenging wells.
Higher reliability is ensured through the use of new heat-resistant electrical insulating materials, as well as through continuous improvement of the technological processes in their manufacturing.
Today, Novomet's production capacity is designed to produce 180 km of finished high-temperature submersible oil cables per month. The production lines are capable of manufacturing all sizes of submersible oil cables used for mechanized extraction. In the future, plans are in place to double the cable production capacity.

Novomet artificial lift services
Lifting the fluids that power the world
The path forward for responsible oil and gas production is to always look for new ways to reduce the cost required to find, tap, and produce a barrel of oil or a cubic meter of gas. Most oilfield services companies are heavily focused on exploration and drilling.
By contrast, Novomet is hyper-focused on completions and artificial lift. More specifically, Novomet is a leader among oilfield service companies with superior technologies that produce higher volumes of hydrocarbons while helping lower the overall cost of production.
The goal is to continuously make more oil and gas with less effort, cost, and environmental impact. The next great breakthroughs in the oil and gas industry will not come from new exploration, drilling, pipeline, or refining technology. Rather, they will come from advances in our ability to economically produce more hydrocarbons from the wells we are already drilling. They will come from artificial lift technologies.
Our purpose is simple and straight-forward: We lift the fluids that power the world. Our mission is to harvest what other oilfield service companies leave behind, reduce the power and cost required to produce hydrocarbons, and develop viable green energy solutions.

Oilfield services and the energy industry
People, businesses, and economies have more opportunities to grow when they have access to safe, affordable sources of energy. Electricity keeps us warm, helps us stay healthy, and drives speed and agility in commerce. The goal of the energy industry is to provide power for as low a cost and with as little environmental impact as possible.
Renewable energy sources remain a priority. As costs come down for geothermal, solar, wind, hydro-electric, and other alternative forms of energy, there will be less dependence and need for oil and gas. Until that happens, the most economical and environmentally responsible path forward is to continue to find and produce enough hydrocarbons to meet the world’s energy demands.
Novomet remains dedicated to helping energy companies harvest the hydrocarbons they need to power the world—for as low an environmental and economic impact as possible. When you think artificial lift (oil and gas, geothermal, mine dewatering, etc.) think Novomet.
