The polished rod is the uppermost joint in the string of sucker rods used in a rod pump artificial-lift system. Polished rod related failures take time to manifest themselves but early simple preventive maintenance can significantly reduce them. This paper will discuss typical failures related to the polished rod, their causes and possible remedies.
