Application requirements of sucker rod pump: In the process of working of sucker rod pump, in order to ensure the long-term production capacity of oil fields, you can refer to the following contents: (1) the material strength of the suction valve and plunger of sucker rod pump must meet the actual use requirements, especially the pump barrel structure that bears the most pressure, which must have sufficient strength, hardness and sealing at the same time, and its overall shape will not deform when subjected to high pressure. (2) sucker rod pump needs to work underground for a long time, and in this extremely closed working environment, the equipment itself needs to have extremely high stability and reliability, and must have a long service life. (3) various valves and plungers need to meet the corresponding process requirements in terms of quality and material strength, and have high corrosion resistance, and pay attention to the impact of the working process of sucker rod pump on valves and plungers. (4) pay attention to daily maintenance procedures, and solve various problems faced by sucker rod pump in a preventive manner. Below, we will conduct a specific analysis of several common problems, hoping to help friends who encounter such problems. Let's read on!

API subsurface rod pump, polished rod and coupling are components of rod pumping equipment, which transmit the power of the pumping unit to the downhole pump. The API subsurface rod pump column is made up of dozens or hundreds of API subsurface rod pumps connected by couplings. During the oil production process, the API subsurface rod pump column is subjected to asymmetric cyclic loads, and the working medium is well fluid (crude oil and mineral water), and the well fluid of many pumping wells contains corrosive media. Therefore, the main failure form of API rod pump is fatigue fracture or corrosion fatigue fracture. The breakage accident of API subsurface rod pump will seriously affect the crude oil production, increase the cost of well repair, and increase the cost of crude oil.

​Today, we will take you to learn more about the structural composition, coupling types and precision manufacturing process behind the API standard sucker rod pump. How is the high-quality API standard sucker rod pump manufactured? Let's take a look at it together! Let's first take a brief look at the structure and grade classification of the API standard sucker rod pump: The API standard sucker rod pump is connected by a coupling to form a complete API standard sucker rod pump column. The top is connected to the pumping unit through a bare rod, and the bottom is connected to the plunger of the pumping pump, which accurately transmits the reciprocating motion of the ground pumping unit to the downhole pump body.

In actual oilfield operations, sucker rod pumps, as transmission components of rod pump oil production, often bear high-frequency and alternating mechanical loads. During maintenance and overhaul, we often encounter different types of sucker rod pump failure problems. Combining field data and previous cases, here are several common failure modes and their possible causes for reference by peers.

In western and southern India, many oil fields in the middle and late stages have encountered such problems: Less than half a year after the sucker rod pump was replaced, abnormal noises began to appear in the well, either broken rods or eccentric wear. In serious cases, the well was directly stopped for repair, wasting a lot of manpower and material resources. In fact, the root cause of the problem is not complicated - the well conditions are changing, but the sucker rod pump used has not kept up. Faced with this situation, more and more Indian customers are beginning to try to use China's API sucker rod pump, not because we say it well, but because these sucker rod pumps are indeed durable and long-lasting on site.

We all know that although the artificial lift sucker rod pump is only a part of the downhole equipment, its selection has a particularly large impact on the life and production capacity of the well. Especially after the shale oil wells in the United States enter the middle and late stages, the well conditions are becoming more and more complicated, and the production is gradually declining. The quality and performance of the artificial lift sucker rod pump are directly related to whether the production can be stabilized and the shutdown and maintenance can be reduced.

1. Oil well (pump inspection) operation: The methods of extracting oil from the formation can be divided into two categories: one is to use the energy of the formation itself to lift crude oil, which is called self-flowing oil production; the other is that due to the lack of energy in the formation itself, it is necessary to artificially use mechanical equipment to supplement the energy of the liquid in the well in order to lift the crude oil to the ground, which is called artificial lifting oil production or mechanical oil production. At present, the main artificial lifting methods in oil fields are gas lift, insert rod pump oil production and rodless pump oil production. insert rod pump oil production includes pumping unit insert rod pump and ground driven screw pump (generally not used). Rodless pump oil production includes electric submersible pumps, hydraulic piston pumps, jet pumps, etc. Regardless of the lifting oil production method used, due to adjustments to the oil field development plan, equipment failures, etc., pump inspection (replacement) operations are required. 2.Check (replace) the insert rod pump: The insert rod pump is a method of producing oil by transferring the reciprocating motion of the pumping unit suspension point to the pumping pump through the sucker rod, and the insert rod pump piston moves up and down to take out the liquid in the well. insert rod pump is currently the most widely used artificial lift oil production method in various oil fields, accounting for about 90% of the number of artificial lift wells. The insert rod pump is mainly composed of a pumping unit, a pumping pump, a sucker rod and supporting tools. The pump should be inspected due to a failure of the insert rod pump downhole. The time interval between two pump inspections is called the pump inspection cycle. Many factors such as the production of the oil well, the oil layer pressure, the oil layer temperature, the gas and water discharge, the sand and wax deposition of the oil well, the corrosiveness of the crude oil, and the management system of the oil well will affect the length of the pump inspection cycle.

Sucker rod pump oil production is the most widely used oil production method at present. China's sucker rod pump oil production accounts for about 90% of the total number of artificial lift oil production wells. The sucker rod pump equipment is simple, with low investment, convenient management and strong adaptability. It can be used from shallow wells of 200 to 300 meters to deep wells of 3,000 meters, and the oil production ranges from a few tons per day to 100 to 200 tons per day. In terms of equipment manufacturing, from ground pumping units, downhole sucker rods to sucker pumps, China's products have long been serialized and complete sets, which can meet the production needs of oil fields. The disadvantage of the sucker pump is that the displacement is not large enough, and it cannot meet the requirements for oil wells with a daily output of more than 200 tons.
