Sucker Rod Pump: Design, Operation and Troubleshooting

DESCRIPTION

This course teaches the skills necessary to optimize the operation, analysis and trouble shooting of rod pumping systems. It covers rod-pumping equipments (SRP).

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

After completing this course, you will be able to:

Use modern rod pump effectively to optimize rod pump systems.
Design the rod pump systems; compare pumping units
In-depth dynamometer card interpretation will enable you to diagnose and fix field problems.
Maintain the motor equipment, belt
Measure the level fluid, foaming and more
Many field examples will be used for practice
