YOMNA-08: BUILT TO LAST! A Record ESP Run-Life Performance.

A Legacy Born Beneath the Surface

In 2009, while the world was navigating economic uncertainty, political shifts, and sporting triumphs, something extraordinary was quietly unfolding beneath Egypt’s Qarun fields. A single Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) system—assembled by TAM Oilfield Services using Baker Hughes technology—was commissioned. Sixteen years later, it’s still running.

YOMNA-08 has now set a new benchmark for ESP longevity in the Middle East, redefining expectations for artificial lift systems in mature oil fields. This achievement is a testament to engineering precision, strategic oilfield partnerships, and field-driven innovation.

The Strategic Partnership Behind the Benchmark Performance

YOMNA-08, operated by Khalda Petroleum Company (KPC, an Apache JV) previously under Qarun’s purview, set a new benchmark in artificial lift ESP performance with an extraordinary run life. The ESP system was supplied, assembled, and commissioned by TAM Oilfield Services, Baker Hughes strategic channel partner in Egypt. The remarkable approximately 16-years run life of this system is exceptional for ESP technology in general and the longest in the Middle east.

The partnership between Baker Hughes the global oilfield services leader, especially in artificial lift systems ESPs and TAM Oilfield Services their trusted strategic channel partner in Egypt for over 40 years, handling assembly, commissioning, repairs, and service of Baker Hughes ESP systems and Oilfield and industrial chemicals, succeeded in delivering one of the most reliable, cost effective and high-quality products and services.

ESP run life typically depends on multiple factors:

• Well conditions. (gas content, temperature, abrasives)
• Equipment design (pump, motor, seals)
• Maintenance practices.

YOMNA‑8 Well: Exceptional ESP Performance clearly surpassed typical system longevity.

Key Drivers of Success of the Record ESP Run-Life

• Robust System Design & High Standard Repair and Assembly Process.
  Leveraging Baker Hughes’ reliable products and TAM’s exceptional application experience and quality-controlled assembly and reclaim process at their Alexandria facility ensured fit-for-purpose, zero-defect implementations.
• Effective and Proactive Maintenance & Monitoring
  High level of experience and awareness from KPC/QPC and Apache teams in Qarun fields ensured smooth operation and long run life.

Longevity translates to fewer workovers, less downtime, lower operating expenditure (OPEX), and more consistent production. Running an ESP for almost 16 years far beyond typical lifespan is a compelling benchmark for artificial lift performance in mature fields.

System Details

Installed on October 17^th, 2009, the system included:

• 562 Series 68 HP KMEX1 Dryout motor
• 513 Tandem Seal GSTX
• 400 Series FC650 Repaired Pumps

Delivering up to 1,000 bpd with consistent reliability.

Conclusion: Energy That Never Stops

This case exemplifies the power of a collaboration between Operator (KPC/QPC and Apache) and the service provider (TAM Oilfield Services and Baker Hughes). Driving a superior outcome in ESP system longevity. Achieving a 16-year operational life is a testament to robust system design, Flawless local reclaim, assembly and commissioning. In addition to outstanding monitoring and maintenance.

This achievement resulted in:

• Reduced workovers
• Lower OPEX
• Uninterrupted production

👉 Setting a new standard for artificial lift systems.

This well stands as a model of excellence in artificial lift performance and industry significance.

This milestone achievement proves that with the right partners, the right technology, and the right strategy, ESP systems can deliver exceptional longevity—even in the harshest conditions.

16 YEARS STRONG. 16 YEARS ENERGY!

A New Benchmark for ESP Systems in Egypt

YOMNA-08 is more than a technical success. It’s a case study in how strategic collaboration and engineering excellence can redefine artificial lift performance. It sets a new standard for ESP systems in Egypt and across the Middle East.
