Research of Rod Pump Load Reducing Technology on Deep Wells

Abstract:

As the sucker-rod pump placement depth increases, the load at the polished rod rises as well. Meanwhile, high load at the polished rod limits further increase of pump placement depth. This paper mainly analyses polished rod load on pumping system units and describes several methods to reduce beam pump load that are used in deep wells. On the basis of theoretical analyzing of three load reducing technologies such as application of compound fiberglass sucker rods, linear electric motors and rod load reducer, it was determined that using compound fiberglass rods in real practical cases shows obviously higher efficiency than other two. linear electric motors technology has advantages of being used in deep wells as well. Moreover rod load reducer shows good performance in deep wells, but because it does not possess energy conservation characteristic it may be uneconomic and less effective during production.
