How to Choose the Right Downhole Sucker Rod Pump?

2025-08-17

Downhole sucker rod pump adopts an innovative double-layer pump barrel structure. It is designed for deep and thin oil well conditions. It is suitable for oil wells that cannot be produced normally due to insufficient formation fluid supply or low formation pressure in conventional lifting processes. The standard applicable well depth range is 2600 meters to 3500 meters.

What are the types of downhole sucker rod pumps?

1. The common downhole sucker rod pump with a pump hole size of 28mm is suitable for low-yield wells and heavy oil wells; 32mm pumps are used for low- and medium-yield wells and medium-deep wells; 38mm pumps are used for medium- and high-yield wells and medium- and high-water-bearing wells; 44mm pumps are used for high-yield wells and high-water-bearing wells.

2. There are downhole sucker rod pumps for special working conditions: for heavy oil wells, small pump holes (28mm or 32mm) are recommended; 38mm is preferred for high-sand wells; 44mm is used with caution for deep wells; Sulfur-containing wells need to be equipped with anticorrosive pump cylinders.

Downhole sucker rod pump


How to use downhole sucker rod pump?

1.Fixing the pump cylinder: Slowly lower the pump cylinder assembly through the tubing to the design depth (usually 20-50 meters above the oil layer), and fix it to the casing wall with an anchor or kava.

2.Sucker rod connection: Connect the sucker rod one by one on the ground, and when it is lowered, the plunger is accurately inserted into the inner cavity of the pump cylinder, and the end of the rod is locked with the light rod through a square clip.

3.Wellhead sealing: Install a light rod sealing box, inject high temperature sealing grease and adjust the tightness of the gland to ensure zero leakage at the wellhead.

4.Ground commissioning: Start the pumping unit for no-load test operation, adjust the stroke/stroke to the design parameters, and finally mount the load to officially pump.

 

Precautions when using downhole sucker rod pump

It is forbidden to directly use pumps with the largest pump hole size in ultra-deep wells; Small pump holes must be used in heavy oil wells to reduce fluid resistance; anti-wear devices need to be installed in time for high-sand wells.

The process of the pump cylinder going down the well needs to be operated at a uniform speed and smoothly throughout the process: After the pumping rod is connected, the verticality must be calibrated to prevent partial wear; Abnormal fluctuations or sudden drops in efficiency during operation must be stopped immediately.

Corrosion protection should be strengthened regularly in corrosive environments: Complex well types need to be equipped with special anti-partial wear devices; The internal pressure of the pipe column must be completely released before maintenance.

It is forbidden to reuse curved and deformed sucker rods: The power source must be cut off and the equipment locked before operation; Special protective equipment must be strictly worn in hazardous gas environments.

 

FAQ:

Q: What is the service life of the downhole sucker rod pump?

A: Under normal circumstances, the service life of the downhole sucker rod pump depends on well conditions and maintenance conditions. Under good maintenance, the service life can reach 3-5 years. For complex working conditions such as sand, gas or sulfur, pump body parts may need to be replaced more frequently, and the service life will be shortened accordingly.

 

Q: What are the common faults of downhole sucker rod pump?

A: Common faults include downhole sucker rod pump stuck, valve group leakage, rod and column fracture, etc.These failures are usually caused by severe shocks, excessive loads, or long periods of unmaintainment. Regular inspection and maintenance can effectively prevent these problems.
