Avoiding Environmental and Financial Impact of Stuffing Box Leakage! Rob Harrison, M.A., SCMP – Well Site Guard Ltd. 2023 ALRDC International Sucker Rod Pumping Workshop Midland, TX, USA August 28-31 This presentation discusses the costs of stuffing box leaks and the benefits of proactive prevention.
As many as 10% of Laramie Energy, LLC’s wells were non‐producing or under‐producing due to deep‐set tubing or mechanical restrictions in tubing or casing. A program of evaluating existing completions followed by tubing perforation and reestablishment of plunger lift was undertaken to restore economically viability to these wells.
One of the benefits of utilizing a Sucker Rod Pump for artificially lifted oil and gas wells is that they can achieve total drawdown of the casing fluid above the downhole pump. This allows for the pump to maximize the production of the well by minimizing the back pressure on the reservoir caused by the […]
Today an upstream engineer has to understand the running condition of every well he is in charge of in order to optimize production, usually by adjusting various setpoints. Typically he will use data recorded by a pump-off controller (POC), fluid level shots, etc. as well as often coupling this wellhead-level data with intermittent information from […]
Artificial lift digitization generates large amounts of data used by operators for surveillance and for improving the function and health of lift equipment, surface facilities, wellbore, and possibly reservoir. As oil and gas companies move towards digital transformation, ML/AI application in artificial lift space is considered a ‘low-hanging’ fruit. However, there is a considerable FUD […]
There’s been a dilemma in the oil industry for years concerning the sharing of data, knowledge and expertise. Should we share or keep it close and possibly have an advantage over our competitors? Is it worth the time and effort required for presentations and related approvals or is it a waste of time personally and […]
