The sucker rod pump, also known as the rod pump, reciprocating pump, or pump jack, is the oldest and most widely used artificial lift method for oil wells. It utilizes a series of rods to connect a downhole pump with a surface driving unit. The downhole pump is a positive displacement plunger-type pump, while the surface driving unit converts the rotational motion of a motor to reciprocating motion via a mechanical linkage system.
PPSC Rod Pump is a cloud-based software that enables users to perform the following tasks, among others:
- Choose a suitable pump system, such as a conventional unit, an air-balanced unit, or a mark II unit, for a specific well.
- Quickly access common outputs such as pump efficiency, fluid height in casing, peak and minimum polished rod loads, peak and minimum torques, counterbalance loads, rod stress, and power required.
- Estimate polished rod load, torque, and power consumption for each pump cycle.
- Perform rod analysis to ensure the selected rod is appropriate for the application.
- Perform sensitivity analysis to identify optimal operating conditions based on economic considerations.
- Pump catalogs provided
- Conventional unit, air-balanced unit, mark II unit
- Basic outputs: pump efficiency, fluid height in casing, min and max polished rod loads, min and max torque, rod stress, …
- Polished rod load and torque vs. time (or cycle)
- Rod analysis
- Optimization
- Economical analysis.
