Sucker Rod Pumps were producing oil already in the 19th century, when worldwide oil production was still in its cradle. Downhole rod pumps represent a standard reciprocating artificial lift method with a simple plunger-barrel concept.
Despite the simplicity of a standard SRP, even more important is high quality of every single part. Especially barrel, plunger and valves need to be in perfect shape in order to facilitate a long run life in your wells. Professional factory acceptance tests according to API 11AX are cumbersome to prepare and execute – let us support you in this matter!
Due to their application in low rate – low budget fields, SRP got a cheap image in the industry. However, especially under these economic conditions, long run lives and avoiding workovers and buying new pumps are so important for your field economics!
But we can do so much more – from detailed failure analysis we can develop tailor made solutions, design adaptations and quality assurance plans for you. We are looking at the bigger picture – quality and design of pumps, the rod string and pumping unit, the operating environment and procedures – all to find a way to produce more, longer, better.
In addition we know countless special parts offered in order to tackle specific challenges of your SRPs – eg gas/sand production and crooked holes. We are also open to support you in designing new special parts, deviations from API 11AX, wherever necessary.
The surface pumping unit of standard SRPs is usually looked at just twice - at design and first installation. We are looking at pumping units in much more detail and with dedication, especially at hydraulic long stroke units:
To use the whole potential of hydraulic long stroke units, it needs some careful design of its installation and operation. Especially the smart operation control of the hydraulic drive is a key task on the system's overall efficiency. Needless to say that digitalization of the pumping unit operation represents a great asset for increasing the efficiency of this artificial lift method.
In addition we care for your downhole pump parts as usual - we know each downhole pump part by heart and look for optimization of downhole pump, tubing and rod string.
Combining our beloved downhole piston pump with a downhole electric linear motor - that sounds really smart as a theory! We are supporting you in making this special application of piston pumps smart in reality also! By detailed design and knowledge about the key components of this Artificial Lift method and how to make the perfect blend of them - surface control unit, electrical cable, downhole electric linear motor, electrical submersible downhole piston pump.
