Do you have ESP cable available immediately in Mexico?

Yes. Some SKUs in the 180°F and 205°F families are in stock in Mexico, with 24–72 h delivery from Ciudad del Carmen. Higher-temperature families (290°F, 400°F, and 450°F) are generally made to order, with manufacturing lead times of 8 to 16 weeks.

How is ESP cable size selected for a submersible motor?

The size is calculated from motor power (kW), surface supply voltage, well depth (voltage drop), fluid temperature (ampacity correction), and whether a VSD (variable speed drive) is used. VMS Energy can perform the electrical sizing as part of its technical support.

Does VMS Energy have a presence in the Gulf of Mexico oil regions?

Yes. VMS Energy has an operations office in Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche, with fast response for supplies to the Cantarell and KMZ assets, Litoral de Tabasco, and offshore platforms. This proximity allows 24–72 h deliveries in operational emergencies.

What technical documentation does VMS provide with the ESP cable?

Cable technical datasheet (temperature, construction, insulation), certificate of origin, measured length report per reel and, when the operator requires it, traceability documentation for PEMEX or IOC audits. Documentation is delivered with the reel for field validation.

Q: Is ESP cable protected against H₂S?

Arteria 400°F and 450°F families with EPDM insulation and a Kapton (polyimide) jacket offer superior resistance to H₂S and corrosive fluids. For high H₂S concentrations, the KEFLG or KEFLEG variant is specified. VMS Energy verifies compatibility with the well fluid analysis.

Five families, from 180 to 450 °F, in Flat or Round configuration

The right family is set by the bottom-hole temperature, not the catalog. We specify, supply, and install.

Application context

ESP cables are not bought from a catalog. They are specified for each well.

Every electrical submersible pump (ESP) installation has unique temperature, pressure, well geometry, and production profile conditions. Choosing the wrong cable is one of the most frequent causes of premature ESP system failure.

Fluid temperature: The well’s thermal profile determines the Arteria family (180 °F, 205 °F, 290 °F, 400 °F, or 450 °F). Do not use surface temperature — use bottom-hole temperature (BHT).
Well geometry: Deviated or short-radius wells require Round cable for better mechanical behavior. Straight vertical wells allow Flat cable, which uses annular space more efficiently.
Corrosive environment: H₂S, CO₂, or high-salinity fluids require constructions with EPDM or Kapton insulation (400 and 450 families). Standard PP insulation (180/205 families) is not suitable for these environments.
Coordination with the ESP system: The cable must be compatible with the motor power, the drive (VSD), and the well length. VMS coordinates the specification with the ESP system manufacturer when the project requires it.
