The article analyzes the current regulatory framework of Ukraine on the issue of ensuring high performance quality indicators of submersible pumps used in the oil production industry. It has been established that one of the effective methods of improving the quality indicators of submersible pumps is the improvement of the regulatory framework aimed not only at determining the necessary indicators, but also at their guaranteed support during operation in the entire range of possible operating modes. It was determined that submersible pumps are used in more than half of the entire fund of oil and gas production enterprises. Therefore, submersible pumps are one of the most important components of modern systems in the oil production industry. It has been established that the technical condition of pumping installations largely determines the quality indicators of oil enterprises, the instability of pumps and, moreover, their failure can lead to significant losses and other negative consequences. It has been proven that ensuring high efficiency and reliability of deep pumps is one of the most important tasks in the direction of creating stable, reliable and highly economical functioning of oil production complexes and ensuring the minimum possible energy losses for oil production (reducing the cost of oil production). From the analysis of the regulatory support of Ukraine, it was concluded that the existing regulatory documents sufficiently fully regulate the general issues related to the terminology and basic provisions of the design and operation of deep pumps and oil production complexes where they work. There are useful methods for the creation and operation of automatic control systems for submersible pumps and methods for conducting relevant measurements, but the regulatory base does not fully reflect the methods for determining and improving some indicators of the quality of operation of submersible pumps, there is a lack of regulatory documents that regulate the provision of high technical quality indicators of submersible pumps during their automatic control, there is a lack of methods for determining and maintaining energy-efficient modes of operation of submersible pumps in a wide range of normal operation in real time.
