Figure 200: Pump Curve
Pump curves are published for each pump stage sold by Baker Hughes. They are published in the BH Product
Catalog and maintained in Solutions Sizing Software. Applications engineers utilize these pump curves along with
customer production requirements, fluid, and reservoir data to select the proper ESP or Surface Pumping System.
In the Apollo Control System, the pump curve is used in reverse. Apollo assumes the pump curve represents the
pump’s performance. Then, utilizing the real-time operating conditions of the pumping system, Apollo determines
where on the pump curve the pump is operating and uses that information to improve pump protection.

Term
Description
Best Efficiency Point (BEP)
The flow rate associated with the
pump’s Best
Efficiency Point.
Down Thrust
Condition in which the pump is operating at a flow
rate lower than the BEP. Note that some down
thrust is permitted within the operating range.
Efficiency Curve
Illustrates the relationship between the fluid flow
through the pump and the efficiency of the pump.
