STATISTICAL EVIDENCE

The following illustrations were compiled from actual test results of all wells tested in a five year period. By use of the information obtained, producers made decisions based on actual facts of their well conditions, which allowed them to consistently increase production and lower lifting cost. These findings show the importance of the dynamometer testing and the invaluable tool for maximizing production. Knowing where problems are and where potential production exists is the first step in increasing your recovery rate.

Mechanical Failures

Most of the time you will need a rig for repairs.

Gearboxes greater than 50% out of balance

Balance unit and save unnecessary wear and tear on your unit, gearbox, and down hole equipment as well as power savings.

Fluid over pump & more than 20% pump slip

Consider changing pump out depending on the amount of slip. You could also consider a larger pump size and or increased strokes per minute.

Pumped off and low fillage

This well is wasting power costs and most likely wearing your down hole pump, rods and tubing unnecessarily. Consider shorter stroke, slower strokes per minute, smaller pump size or pump-off controller, or a combination of any of all four.

Fluid over pump & less than 20% pump slip

Could increase pump size, longer stroke length, faster strokes per minute, larger unit or a combination of any of the four. These changes can effect an increase of load on the unit and rods, so additional information such as, rod stresses, gearbox torque and loading on the structure is needed to obtain the correct and most effective direction.
