Sucker Rod Modeling in 4-D Presentation Sucker rod systems in deviated wells experience friction due to lateral forces exerted on the rods. These lateral forces change throughout the stroke as dynamic loads traverse the rod string. New sucker rod design/analysis software can model the lateral forces in 4-D (3-D reactions in time) to provide superior […]

A discussion of Rod Lift VSD control parameters, setup, and configuration for optimal operation under varying operating conditions Presentation History shows that many operators utilize only the most basic control parameters when setting up VSDs for rod lift applications. This paper will discuss the VSD and Rod Pump Control parameters necessary for safe, reliable, and […]

Innovative Packerless Gas Separator Design in ESP to Rod Pump Conversion Presentation This presentation describes the challenges faced by an operator in the Midland basin in the early conversion from electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) to rod pumps due to gas issues. Some examples are shown where the gas issues cause significant production losses of more […]

Testing Hydraulic Tubing Anchors Presentation Hydraulic tubing anchors have been around for over 40 years, but a failure history associated with deep & deviated wells resulted in the anchor rarely considered as a viable option for these scenarios. However, improved technology in recent years to the hydraulic anchor have resulted in better performance and runtimes […]

Advanced Variable Frequency Drive Control: Optimization Against Incomplete Fillage Presentation Incomplete fillage conditions where the downhole pump does not completely fill up with incompressible liquid has been widely accepted to have detrimental effects on pumping efficiency and moreover the equipment longevity in sucker rod pumping applications. Methods of synchronizing the pump displacement to the wells […]
Boron-Carbide Treated Couplings Improve Rod Lift Efficiency in South Texas Wells Presentation This study explores the application of boron-carbide (B4C) treated steel couplings in sucker rod pump (SRP) wells, as a solution to the challenges posed by modern-day drilling and completions practices. These practices often result in sandy, corrosive, and highly deviated wellbores, leading to […]
