Revision history [back]

I would place the pump a few metres above the top of the screen. One should ideally never place an electric submersible in a screened section, but rather in the cased interval. This is to ensure that the motor is properly cooled by high velocity water flowing over its surface. In a pumping test, I would place the pump as deep as possible as you don't (yet) know how much drawdown to expect - although in this case it looks like there won't be much drawdown.
