Why Choose this Training Course?
During this PetroKnowledge training course we will discuss application of a string of rods which connect the downhole pump to the surface driving mechanism. The rods may be oscillated or rotated at the surface, depending on the type of pump used. Sucker rod pump is very useful for low well’s productivity and it has a lot of advantages suitable for different environment. Also, we will discuss the design, operation and troubleshooting of sucker rod pumps.
Historically, in water and oil wells, positive displacement pumps were the first to be applied, which required an alternating vertical movement to operate. This type of artificial lift uses a positive displacement plunger pump and a surface driving unit that converts the rotary movement of the motor with a mechanical linkage including a pivoted walking beam.
