EFFICIENCY COMPARISON
1. Inefficient energy use is most common
operational problems experienced by sucker
rod lifted wells
2. Possible to compare different types of
pumping units by efficiency of doing work
3. Measured how efficiently the power is used
to lift the liquids to the surface
4. kW-hour electrical consumption was
recorded using standard electric meters at
each well

Leaky Pump with Shortened Stroke
Previous = 288
Reduced Stroke
Now = 246
Pump Stk =205
SPM = 3.96
PR HP = 24.6
Production BPD
Pump Disp = 375
Stock Tank = 315
Date 09/26/02:
New Pump with 288 Stroke
Stroke = 288
Pump Stk =244
SPM = 3.91
PR HP = 30.2
Production BPD
Pump Disp = 441
Stock Tank = 405
Date 10/22/02:
New Pump with Faster Stroke/Min
Stroke = 288
Pump Stk = 205
SPM = 4.26
PR HP = 32.6
Production BPD
Pump Disp = 476
Stock Tank = 465
Observations
DynaPump is about the same as the RotaFlex
based on KWH/BBL (measured readings)
Bad pump resulted in low DynaPump Efficiency
When the leaky pump was replaced, then
performance of the DynaPump improved
DynaPump performed best at higher SPM and
flow rates
ADVANTAGES
Easy and Simple Control of
Stroke Rate
Stroke Length
Stroke Position (inside barrel)
DISADVANTAGES
Required manual lockdown to perform valve checks
Loud low frequency noise during each stroke
Loud noise will limit the use to rural areas
No panel display to check well operations
Training Required to change speeds and
monitor operation
DynaPump Summary
Long stroke pumping system
Relatively high efficient
Offers high lift capacities
High efficiency is partially the result of
the design of the system that results in
relatively constant load on the motors on
most of the upstroke and downstroke.
