This presentation will share experiences and discuss common challenges that influence adoption of new technology related to artificial lift optimization. It will explore this topic in relation to four new patented and engineered artificial lift solutions products with field proven results including hydraulic sheave properly shut down and lock out beam pumping units, an innovative […]
Detecting mechanical faults on Sucker Rod Pumps at an early, developing stage benefits the reliability and performance of these pumps. In addition, it reduces the risks of environmental damage, as issues are remedied before they become a problem. Traditionally, load cells have been installed to produce a dyno card. For this purpose, the load cell […]

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 […]

This is a case study designed to confirm that high frequency, high resolution pressure data measured at the wellhead of a pump jack well can be used to evaluate and optimize the performance of the downhole pump.

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.
Gas interference in downhole oilfield pumps is an old and well-known problem. Horizontal wellbore topology and construction exasperates this problem. Artificially lifting an oil and gas well involves two discrete state-variable spaces: the pumping system and backside multiphase flow. While positive strides have been made around optimizing the pumping system state-space, optimization of that system […]
