Abstract

The article analyzes the structural characteristics of drives for sucker-rod pumping units (SRPU) used in oil production. It has been proven that it is important to make the use of pumping units for oil production more efficient, i.e. to reduce specific power consumption when extracting formation fluids, to make pumping unit nodes more reliable, to implement intelligent monitoring and control stations for comprehensive assessment of well-SRPU system performance as well as to control drive parameters in a wide range. We hereby present the results of pilot tests of hydraulic SRPU. It is proven that hydraulic SRPU drives are optimal for developing newly commissioned wells, for periodic and short-term operation of wells, as well as removing asphaltene deposits.
