Abstract
Systems and methods for producing fluids from a subterranean well include an electrical submersible pump assembly with a motor-pump unit. The motor-pump unit has a motor housing and a stator is located within the motor housing. The stator has a stator body with an interior cavity. A rotor assembly is located within the interior cavity of the stator. The rotor assembly includes a rotor shaft extending along the central axis of the stator, a rotor member, and an intermediate rotor bearing assembly. The rotor member and the intermediate rotor bearing assembly circumscribe the rotor shaft. An impeller is mounted on the rotor shaft and located within the interior cavity of the stator. A liner with a polygonal cross section is located along an interior surface of the interior cavity. The liner is secured to the motor housing and seals the stator body from a wellbore fluid.
