RWA Insert Rod Pump is a rod-type oil pump designed according to API SPEC 11AX (or GB/T18607) standard. According to the support and fixed form of the pump, it can be divided into three categories: moving cylinder type bottom fixed rod type oil pump (RWT or RHT), fixed cylinder type bottom fixed rod type oil pump (RWB or RHB or RXB), fixed cylinder type top fixed rod type oil pump (RWA or RHA).

Maintaining efficient and stable crude oil production in environments with sand content, low liquid levels, deviated wells, and intermittent production has become a focus of industry attention. As a core piece of equipment in traditional mechanical oil production, the insert rod pump exhibits wide adaptability due to its diverse structural configurations. Among them, the top-fixed insert rod pump with a fixed barrel, the bottom-fixed insert rod pump with a fixed barrel, and the bottom-fixed insert rod pump with a moving barrel each play an important role in different operating conditions due to their unique structural advantages.

During oil production, when reservoir energy is insufficient to support natural crude oil flow, artificial lift systems become essential. Among these, RHA insert rod pumps are widely used worldwide. This article will explain the differences between different RHA insert rod pump models, including their structural components, operating principles, typical applications, technical differences compared to other pump types, and installation methods.

In the field of oil extraction, manual lifting methods are essential. Among them, rod pumps are a common and efficient way to pump oil.This article will discuss in depth the principle, performance analysis and how to choose a suitable pumping device of the rod pump pumping system.

What is Gas Lock? Some oil wells contain a high concentration of gas, which can enter the pump barrel through the fixed valve. If not promptly vented, the gas will gradually fill the space below the plunger in the pump barrel. As the plunger descends, the liquid in the tubing string acts on the traveling valve, exerting significant pressure. This prevents the traveling valve from opening, compressing the gas in the pump barrel below the plunger and preventing the flow of liquid above the plunger. As the plunger ascends, the compressed gas expands, exerting pressure on the fixed valve, preventing it from opening and preventing the pump from drawing liquid. This repetitive cycle of gas compression and expansion without any discharge is called gas lock.

In the process of oilfield development, sucker rod pump has always played a very important role. This kind of device, which drives the downhole plunger to work through the ground pumping unit, is like a loyal partner, accompanying the oil well through the middle and late stages of production attenuation. The core value of sucker rod pump lies in its reliability, durability and easy maintenance, especially suitable for the continuous production of conventional onshore oil fields. When the natural energy of the oil well is gradually exhausted, sucker rod pump becomes the key pillar to maintain stable crude oil production.

Like all artificial lift systems, API Rod Pumps are used to restore production when the reservoir's natural driving energy is insufficient to bring oil and gas to the surface. Operators are now applying this proven technology to unconventional resources that have only recently become economically and technically viable.

I. Overview of the Inclined Well Sucker Rod Pump: During oilfield production, due to formation structure and specific conditions, oil well pumps operate in wells with a certain inclination. Using conventional pumps can cause valve closure lag, resulting in lower pump efficiency and increased production costs. To address this issue, we developed the Inclined Well Sucker Rod Pump, which addresses the issue of valve ball closure lag and improves pump efficiency.

For this reason, "how to efficiently and economically clean oil well pumps" has become a crucial concern for oil production plants, service companies, and even every on-site worker. Drawing on field experience and industry practices, we have compared and summarized the cleaning methods for API rod pumps and API tubing pumps.

In the previous article, we discussed the main causes of sucker rod pump failure and how to diagnose pumping well failures. This article will detail common troubleshooting methods for pumping wells and the steps for analyzing abnormal wells. Without further ado, let's take a look.
