Abstract
An electric submersible pump includes a pump and an electric motor coupled to the pump. An electric submersible pump also includes a seal that is positioned between the pump and the electric motor. The seal has an outer housing and a seal bag internal to the outer housing. The seal bag has an outer layer and an inner layer. The outer layer is made from a first material to maintain the structure of the seal bag in a swellable state within the wellbore environment. The inner layer is made from a second material that can swell in response to contact with a polar substance and seal a tear in the outer layer of the seal bag.
