Sometimes HABIT play a difficult part when it comes to change mentality of Oil Field Operators, specially the ones we call "Old Fashion Oil Producers". Why we start mentioning this? Well basically the reason is because at the moment to tell somebody that Installing a simpler and Cheaper device to prevent or mitigate one of the most common problems that they being tackling for decades in a different manner "IS DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT" for them, however it is here.....BETTER YOU DISCOVER IT BY YOURSELF
Imagine you can reduce a replacement cost of 20000 Dollars Gear Reducer Replacement to 3000 Dollars cost for FIXPUMP Mechanical Seal installation, would you take it?
Worldwide, there are approximately 2 million oil wells and 37.5% of these use rod pumps as the artificial lift method. Alternative methods such as electrical submersible pumps, gas lift systems, and progressive cavity pumps are used on 12.5% of the wells.
Imagine you can reduce the intervention time from several days for Gear Reducer Maintenance to a couple of hours by FIXPUMP mechanical seal installation
Gear reducer failures tend to occur gradually over an extended time period. Proper design, utilisation, and routine maintenance of pumping units in rod pump systems can prevent these failures.
- Surface and Pump Dynamometer Cards
- Existing and Imbalance Net Gear Box Torque Signature
- Unit efficiency / Surface Efficiency
- Overall System Efficiency
- Power Consumption
Remember everything start with an Oil Drop coming out your Gear Reducer !!
All wells that are produced with beam pumping units should be evaluated regularly to prevent serious gear reducer damage and failures. Proper operating practices can prevent gear box failures.
Producing field with over 2000 Rod Pumping equipments where production profiles differ one to another due to the productivity of each well (more strokes, less strokes, rod overheating, gear reducer oil leaks, stuffing boxes with fluid leaks,etc,etc)
