Oversize Tubing Pumps

Produces more fluid than a standard tubing pump

Can replace expensive centrifugal pumps

Saves money by using smaller-than-standard

tubing

Accessories available to customize to your

application

Materials for all applications

Oversize Tubing Pumps are used whenever an API-

tubing-pump plunger is not large enough in diameter
to deliver the necessary production quantity. Over-
size Tubing Pumps are characterized by the pumps
plunger being larger in diameter than the inside of
the tubing above the pump. This necessitates the use
of an On-and-Off Tool to disconnect the sucker-rod
string from the oversize-pump plunger when the
pump is pulled for servicing. A tubing drain is also
needed to drain the tubing during servicing.

Slim-Hole
The most popular style of Oversize Tubing Pump is
the Slim-Hole Style. It can have a larger-diameter
plunger than other oversize styles while retaining
the same outside diameter of the pump assembly.
The Harbison-Fischer Spoon-Bill Tubing Drain is
commonly used to provide a means of draining
the tubing.

API Style
The other style of Oversize Tubing Pump is the API
style. It is a standard API Tubing Pump that is run
on smaller tubing than the Tubing Pump size. It uses
an externally-threaded barrel with extensions. Two
Harbison-Fischer Tubing Drains are available for this
style: the Spoon-Bill Tubing Drain and the J-Slot Tub-
ing Drain. The J-Slot Drain functions as the plunger
hanger as well as the swage-reduction coupling on
top of the pump.

Double-Displacement Pump

Gets the most out of

an insert pump design

Produces more fluid than a standard tubing pump

Several configurations available

The Harbison-Fischer Double-Displacement Pump is

an insert pump with a production capacity greater
than a tubing pump for the same size tubing. It
provides the pulling benefits of an insert pump and
greater production when tubing size is limited. It
has two barrels, two connected plungers and a seal
section between the barrels. The larger plunger
displacement is obtained by combining the areas of
the upper and lower plungers minus the area of the
connecting plunger. The capacity of the 1-1/2 bore
is 14% greater than a 1-3/4 tubing pump. The
2 bore produces 29% more fluid than a 2-1/4
tubing pump.

The Harbison-Fischer Double-Displacement Pump

uses oversized cages and balls and seats as well as
a special oversized seating assembly with greater
holding capacity. It is available in a stationary-barrel
or traveling-barrel configuration. All materials for
corrosion or abrasion resistance are available for
this pump.

Tubing Drains
When you want fluid out of your
tubing ... drain it.

Avoid expensive pulling of wet tubing strings

Four types of drains for any situation

The Spoon-Bill Tubing Drain can also

be used with either style Oversize Tubing Pump.
When the operator is ready to drain the tubing,
the sucker rods are lowered until the traveling and
standing valves are touching. The bill attached to
the traveling-valve pushes the standing-valve ball
off its seat to the side, while the vertical rod on the
standing valve pushes upward on the traveling-valve
ball to hold it off its seat. The fluid in the tubing flows
downward through both valves and out the bottom of
the pump.

The J-Slot Tubing Drain is used with a special

Harbison-Fischer On-and-Off Tool that has lugs
machined onto two sides of the lower key. These lugs
latch into the J-Slot when the plunger and standing
valve are pulled up into the drain extension above
the pump barrel. The larger inside diameter of the
drain extension allows the fluid in the tubing to drain
around the plunger and standing valve and out the
bottom of the tubing. For API-Style Tubing Pump only.

The Pressure-Actuated Tubing Drain is

configured as a steel box-end and pin-end tubing-
coupling body with a replaceable stainless steel
screw-in pressure-rupture disc. When it is necessary
to drain the tubing, the operator actuates the drain
by applying additional pressure through the tubing
string. The thin, lightly scored center of the rupture
disc bursts outward. The outside edges of the disc are
firmly held in place as the fluid drains out.

The Sleeve-Type Tubing Drain (not shown)

can be used with either style Oversize Tubing Pump.
It is installed on top of the pump and is actuated by
pulling the plunger up against the bottom of the drain
with the rods before pulling the tubing. The fluid in
the tubing is drained through holes in the external
shoe that are uncovered when the sleeve is pushed
upward.

Permanent Standing Valve

The Permanent Standing Valve provides the largest

available standing-valve flow area. This standing
valve has tubing threads and is installed in the tubing
string below the tubing pump and can be specified
in several tubing-thread sizes.

On-and-Off Tool
Disconnect the rods from

Positive and dependable means of connecting

and disconnecting the sucker rods from the
sucker-rod pump

The On-and-Off Tool is installed just above an

Oversize Tubing Pump Plunger, or on a polished
rod in the tubing above the pump. In either case, a
rod-stripping job is eliminated. The On-and-Off Tool
can also be run above an insert pump to disconnect
the rods from the pumps should they be stuck.
The lower key lock is available in an H2S resistant
material and the upper body can be ordered in an
oversize version for heavy-pumping installations. It
is available for tubing or casing sizes from 2-3/8
through 7-1/2.

Left-Hand Coupler
Turn to the right because
it works best

Disconnects sucker rods by turning the string

clockwise

The Left-Hand Coupler is used as a safety joint in the

sucker-rod string when an operator suspects that an
insert pump may become stuck in the seating nipple,
preventing pulling of the pump. It is released by
applying right-hand rotation to the sucker-rod string
and is available in all sucker-rod sizes.

The Shear Tool is a straight-line-pull safety joint

release that provides a means of disconnecting the
sucker-rod string from the pump below the tool. This
type of tool must be used to release fiberglass rods
since they should not be rotated. It is available in
several shear-release pull loads in all sucker-rod
pin sizes.
