Adjusting the spacing in a rod pump is a task that production personnel have been performing for decades, and will continue to do for decades to come. The most common reason for adjusting pump spacing is to induce or remove a tag on the downhole pump. This method is also performed to increase production by fine-tuning plunger depth in the pump, thus creating a better compression ratio. The Hydralift system utilizes synchronized hydraulic cylinders and an engineered lifting plate to raise and lower the rod string, creating a safer and more efficient method of pump spacing. With the aid of the Hydralift spacer technology, permanent spacers can be installed above the carrier bar allowing for the ability to fine-tune the depth of a traveling assembly without the need of a crew, or unsafe traditional methods.
