Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

Abstract An optimum pumping unit installation can be made for high volume sucker rod lift wells. Using three phase inflow performance relationships, vertical flowing gradients and predictive sucker rod design programs the ideal setting depth of the pump and the size of the equipment can be selected.
