(2024028) Handling of Solids in Rod Pumped Wells

Presenters

Solids in rod pumped wells are a significant cause of failures and higher operating costs. Most solids cause continuing abrasion problems that are commonly misdiagnosed in typical failure analysis programs. This paper investigates the sources and nature of these solids, the impact on failures and technologies to reduce the adverse impacts of solids on equipment. These technologies will include a better understanding of existing products as well as emerging technologies.
