A well is going to be installed with a sucker rod pumping unit
a. For the well to be installed with a sucker rod pump calculate the effective plunger
stroke length for a well with a rod pump set at 3600 ft. The well has 3/4-in. sucker
rods and 2 7/8-in. tubing, and the specific gravity of the produced liquid is 0.90. The
pump speed is 12 spm, the plunger is 2 in. in diameter, and the polished rod stroke
length is 64 in.The well is pumped off, so the liquid level is at the pump depth.
b. For well in part a surface production rate the surface with a rod pump having a
volumetric efficiency of 0.8. The oil formation volume factor is 1.2
Plot the variation of pressure with area for four different pump speeds.
COURE NAME: THERMOFLUIDS
A pumping station wet well operates between 540- and 550-ft elevation. The pump curve is deϐined by the following points: 80 ft at zero ϐlow, 78 ft at 200 gpm, 65 ft at 800 gpm, and 50 ft at 1200 gpm. The pump discharge contains an equivalent of 50 ft of 6-in. pipe. The discharge pipe is 120-ft long and terminates at a splitter box, elevation 570. Using C=100, plot the pump curve and the corrected pump curve. Plot the pump discharge curves at each wet well elevation and for C=100 and C=140. What is the pump ϐlow at the low and high wet well elevations for newand old pipe?
