IS BEAM PUMPING RIGHT FOR YOUR PRODUCTION Rugged, simple - easy to understand Forgiving Good diagnostics exist Possible to pump the well down to low bottom hole pressure High energy efficiency Easy to automate
IS BEAM PUMPING RIGHT FOR YOUR PRODUCTION ESP pumps may be a better for high production at high depths. Where is the transition and is there real wells for examples Gas lift can also be very rugged, and inexpensive to operate in wells that can use gas lift or plunger lift. Beam pumping and gas lift can be very forgiving but should be optimized for best results
Artificial Lift Methods In USA Over 600,000 Wells In USA 480,000 are Artificially Lifted
Production Vs. Depth For Rod Pumping
ESP + HIGH PRODUCTION NEEDS – NEEDS GOOD QUALITY ELECTRICITY GAS LIFT / PLUNGER LIFT+CAN BE VERY RUGGED DEPENDABLE AND EFFICIENT BUT NEEDS GOOD GAS SUPPLY
