(2023034) State Of the Art Software for Sucker Rod Pump Design, Troubleshooting, Optimization, And Training

There is a need in the industry for a predictive program that can mimic the vast combinations of downhole pump conditions that are found in sucker rod pumped wells. In this paper, we introduce a software that is capable of showing the all of the basic downhole pump conditions, as well as combinations of these conditions in both vertical and deviated wells. The software can show the ideal downhole card as well as what would be expected to be observed in an on-site rod pump controller. The utility of the software is at least multifold. It not only functions an exhaustive design tool, but it also serves as a tool to optimize the well and generate numerous pump conditions to aid in training personnel to better analyze wells. Finally, the forward looking idea is that this program now functions as the most robust software to produce training sets for downhole card classification and other machine learning tasks.
