Paper: Operating Performance Experience With A Computer Controlled Long Stroke Rod Pumping System

Dramatic change in the economic climate of the petroleum industry over the past year places a demanding challenge on oil producers to achieve positive cost effectiveness in their producing operations. Overall lifting costs for artificially lifted wells will be a significant factor in meeting this challenge. A new long stroke sucker rod pumping system has been developed which offers benefits to deal with these cost factors. Performance results to date confirm reduced energy consumption and improved pumping performance.
