Artificial Lift introduces the techniques and technologies involved in artificial lift, with specific attention to sucker rod pumping, gas lift, and electric submergible pumps. The course provides a useful knowledge foundation to professionals in every sector of the industry, and of immediate value to field personnel. Each functional component of the sucker-rod pumping system is presented, and the major geometries of pumping units are defined with respect to their specific application and utilization. The operation of three different gas lift configurations is described. Detailed graphics illustrate the basic components and operation of electric submergible pumps. The relative advantages and disadvantages of each artificial lift method are compared and discussed. This course comprises six training modules.
Volume 1 introduces pumping unit and sucker-rod pumping systems. It describes the functional surface components of a sucker-rod pumping system, and their various geometries and configurations.
Volume 2 describes pumping unit and sucker-rod pumping systems with specific attention to the sub-surface components. It describes how static, dynamic, and cyclic loading lead to rod stress, fatigue, and failure. Sub-surface pumps, tubing, and gas anchors are also covered.
The first Gas Lift module introduces the components, equipment, and applications of gas lift systems. Compressors, separators, control and metering equipment are described in detail. It also explains the principles of artificial lift, and the advantages and limitations of gas lift.
The second Gas Lift volume discusses the operational and design aspects of gas lift systems. It describes the sequence of events in unloading and operating the well, explains continuous and intermittent lift, and compares different gas injection rates, tubing sizes, and choke settings.
This module introduces the components, theory, and operations of electric submersible pumping systems. It explains the principles behind a centrifugal pump, and describes the components of an ESP in detail. Pump performance characteristics and optimum ranges are also discussed.
This module covers electric submersible pump components and performance. Pump intakes and protectors are described, along with the effects of gas lock. Electric motors and cables are also described. The module concludes by discussing associated surface systems.
