Production and artificial lift engineers are growing to rely on progressing cavity pumps (PCPs) more due to increased horizontal drilling operations. These pumps have a high overall energy efficiency, tolerate high percentages of free gas, and require generally low maintenance yet engineers have a lack of resources and training experience in how to select, install, and analyze the pump's capabilities.

More Description
Production and artificial lift engineers are growing to rely on progressing cavity pumps (PCPs) more due to increased horizontal drilling operations. These pumps have a high overall energy efficiency, tolerate high percentages of free gas, and require generally low maintenance yet engineers have a lack of resources and training experience in how to select, install, and analyze the pump's capabilities. Progressing Cavity Pumps: Theory and Operations gives engineers a current look at the components, process and technology on PCPs starting with the basics on the equipment pieces itself followed by pump selection and equipment design. Industry standards are covered alongside specific application considerations such as directional and horizontal well applications, coal bed methane and elevated temperatures. Installation, troubleshooting, failure diagnosis and a particular focus on automation is explained rounded out with deployment of different types of pumps. Packed with concrete solutions and examples, Progressing Cavity Pumps: Theory and Operations delivers the necessary update and training guide to artificial lift operators and engineers so that they can continue to effectively utilize this growing form of artificial lift.
