Beam Pumping Technology

For a long time in the history of oil production, beam pumping, also known as sucker-rod pumping, was the first and the only choice when artificial lift was needed. This is the reason why sucker-rod pumping is the oldest and most widely used type of oil well production all over the world.

This PetroKnowledge training course offers a comprehensive exploration of the intricate facets of sucker rod pumping, pump components, and operational parameters. By participating, individuals gain practical expertise to optimise the design, operation, and maintenance of these systems, effectively increasing production rates and reducing downtime. Furthermore, in-depth knowledge of equipment components, including pumping units and prime movers, enable professionals to make informed decisions and enhance the efficiency of their field operations. With a focus on modern technologies, such as long-stroke sucker rod pumping, participants are equipped to implement cutting-edge solutions. Additionally, the training course covers fail-safe practices and failure analysis, contributing to smoother operations and resource conservation.
