Automated Viscous Damping Correction and Optimal Inferred Production Calculation Dr. Victoria Pons – WellWorx Energy Jeremy Gomes – WellWorx Energy 2023 ALRDC International Sucker Rod Pumping Workshop Midland, TX, USA August 28-31 When controlling and optimizing a sucker rod pumped well, position and load at the pump must be calculated from surface position and load […]
In reciprocating rod lift application, pumping units must be carefully controlled to maximize production and avoid fluid pound and other downhole conditions leading to premature failures, shutdowns, and lost production. It is common practice to install a Rod Pump Controller (RPC) on the well site to monitor, alert and manage the well conditions and scenarios […]

Current models for design and analysis of rod pumped wells are based on data from vertical wells. The assumption that these models work is only theoretical. Such models have never been validated with actual measurements from deviated or horizontal wells.
