Sucker rod pumping systems are a well‐established artificial lift method in oil extraction, valued for their mechanical simplicity and reliability. However, these systems operate under complex ...

Artificial lift is a process used on oil wells to increase pressure within the reservoir and encourage oil to the surface. When the natural drive energy of the reservoir is not strong enough to push ...

Resizing pumps, installing rod-pump controllers (RPCs), and monitoring and analyzing wells remotely with software specific for that purpose increased operational efficiency in Balam South field on ...

Lufkin Industries Inc. has agreed to buy substantially all of Quinn's Oilfield Supply Ltd. for $303 million in cash. Quinn’s, of Red Deer, Alb., manufacturers specialty oilfield pumps, and is among ...

Key insight: All lift systems target the same physics: reduce mixture density or add head so that nodal balance at the wellbore yields the desired rate. 2.3 Select lift method aligned to fluid, depth, ...
