Erosion Testing of Conventional Gas Lift Check Valves for Unconventional Applications Presentation Onshore tight oil production has led to a renaissance for conventional gas lift equipment. After years of customer and supplier focus on side pocket mandrels and their associated flow control devices, tubing-deployed conventional mandrels and valves are back in style. But are yesterday’s […]

Project Goal and Overview – Gather true measured data in both deviated & horizontal rod-pumped wells, Plot actual downhole load & position: dynagraph cards, Provide that measured downhole data to industry for use in developing new algorithms, Improve our understanding of side loads, bending, friction, damping, and other factors resulting from well deviation.
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.
