The discussion of each major artificial lift system includes advantages and disadvantages, more detailed listings are available from various sources. Normally able to match output to delivery of well. Typically a liquid being produced from the well is used (water or oil) * Easy to pump in cycles depending on the model of pump being used. Additional liquids can be mixed with the power fluid (such as diesel) for this purpose also. Normally able to match output to delivery of well.

Clegg, et al.[1] provides the most extensive and useful listing of the various advantages and disadvantages of lift systems under a broad range of categories. Some of the information is open to interpretation, but, in general, it is the best list of artificial lift advantages and disadvantages available at this time. The information in the tables from Clegg, et al.[1] is a very useful tool for artificial lift selection. Rod pump Capital cost Low to moderate. Downhole Equipment Reasonably good rod design and operating practices needed.

This chapter discusses the specific artificial-lift technique known as beam pumping, or the sucker-rod-lift method. Many books, technical articles, and industry standards have been published on the sucker-rod lift method and related technology.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] This chapter is a complete revision of previous editions of thePetroleum Engineering Handbook,[6] but it combines the prior three relevant chapters that covered downhole rod pumps and sucker rods, along with pumping units and prime movers. Additionally, the other components of a sucker-rod pumping installation are discussed, including applicable engineering and operating information. The complete operating system should be understood and addressed to properly design, install, and operate this or any other type of artificial-lift system. Thus, this chapter uses the Gipson and Swaim "Beam Pump Design Chain" as a foundation and builds on this design philosophy by using relevant, published technology and the latest industry practices.[5][6][7]

Ideally, an artificial-lift system should be chosen and designed during the initial planning phase of an oil field. However, in the haste to get a field on production, artificial lift may not be considered until after other production facilities are designed and installed. It is difficult to choose and install the optimum artificial-lift system after the surface production facilities have been installed. This is especially true in the case of gas lift. Figure 1.6-A graphical design for a continuous-flow gas lift installation based on 800-psig injection-gas pressure (light lines) overlaying a design for 1,400-psig injection-gas pressure. Figure 1.9-Simplified flow diagram of a closed rotative gas lift system. The location of surface production facilities can greatly impact the efficiency of a gas lift operation. Production stations that provide liquid and gas separation along with other gathering facilities should be located as near the wells as practical. Every effort should be made ...

Replacing a rod string one rod at a time is not normally a good operating practice; thus, the economic life of a rod string needs to be considered if rods start to fail. Typically, the rod-string section will be replaced after two or three failures, while the entire rod string may be replaced after three or four failures. However, the reasons for failures need to be investigated and the root cause for this failure must be determined to extend the rod life in the future. An SPE paper by Powers[41] considers the factors that enter into the decision about when to replace the entire rod string after sustaining the calculated number of failures. Usually, wells of the same type in a field can be grouped together and the necessary calculations do not have to be performed for each well. Sufficient calculations need to be done to assess the economic impact for all wells in a field.

Introduction Progressing cavity pumping (PCP) systems derive their name from the unique, positive displacement pump that evolved from the helical gear pump concept first developed by Rene Moineau in the late 1920s.[1][2][3] Although these pumps are now most commonly referred to as progressing cavity (PC) pumps, they also are called screw pumps or Moineau pumps. PC pumps initially were used extensively as fluid transfer pumps in a wide range of industrial and manufacturing applications, with some attempts made to use them for the surface transfer of oilfield fluids. However, it was not until after the development of synthetic elastomers and adhesives in the late 1940s that PC pumps could be applied effectively in applications involving petroleum-based fluids. Except for several limited field trials, it was not until the late 1970s that a concerted effort was made to use PC pumps as a method of artificial lift for the petroleum industry.
